VRAI Magazine is an independent, minority owned, U.S. media company and publishing house.

Our fashion story began in the Fall of 2015 when we covered London Fashion Week. From there, we’ve expanded to New York Fashion Week, Paris Fashion Week, and Milan Fashion Week, including the respective Men’s Fashion Week events. Our coverage has grown to include Haute Couture Week, Fashion Week events in Asia, Bridal Week events, and also Swim Week, resulting in international readership.

Our focus is in reporting the latest fashion shows from global Fashion Week events, industry news and other fashion events from the around the globe.

We have since expanded our coverage to include entertainment where we showcase the fashion found on global red carpet events from movie premieres and special screenings.
