Kiki magazine is excited to announce that the Fall 2009 issue marks the second anniversary for the magazine.

Kiki’s editorial mission is to help each reader develop a sense of style that reflects her own personality; and to nurture in her the sense of confidence that comes from being comfortable in her own skin, whatever her style.

“Our goal,” says founder and editor Jamie Gleich Bryant, “is to inspire girls to engage with the world around them and become creators rather than just viewers.” In Kiki, creativity and design are front and center.

Bryant adds, “We feel very fortunate to carry Kiki’s mission into a third year. In our first two years, we had such a positive response to the magazine. We know that’s because Kiki respects the reader, offers her a variety of material, and doesn’t interrupt her with advertising or assault her with inappropriate editorial content. We’re excited to begin our third year and look forward to generating even more enthusiasm and loyalty among readers nationally and internationally.”

Each issue of Kiki covers topics ranging from design to business, math to science, self-care to travel. Models in the magazine are real girls who exemplify Kiki’s goal of being “for girls with style and substance”. According to Kiki readers, “being real” is not only skin deep. In order to be a “girl with style and substance,” she must hold true to her own values everyday.

Examples of articles that demonstrate these values include:

• The Cheating Crisis (from the article of the same name in Kiki’s fall 2009 issue): “Have you ever struggled in school? Have you ever been tempted to cheat – or actually cheated – to get a better grade? You may be surprised that you’re not alone.” Everyone knows cheating is wrong, yet cheating is still prevalent in today’s society. Kiki supports its readers in finding authentic self-esteem through honest effort, overcoming obstacles, and knowing you’ve given the task your best.

• Wearing Vintage: The Green Thing to Do: According to the Environmental Protection Agency 4 million tons of textiles get sent to landfills each year. Furthermore, on average, each American throws away 68 pounds of clothing every year. Readers will discover the true meaning of vintage and how wearing vintage positively affects the environment, particularly important in today’s world. Readers will gain insight into the advantages of vintage wear and how-to-tips from a field expert, just in time for back-to-school shopping. Think of it as vintage-inspired back-to-school style!
