An "indie" fashion/art/music magazine that is primarily targeted towards girls in their late teens and twenties. NYLON was created in 1999 by Marvin Scott Jarrett, who "never set out for NYLON to be the biggest magazine - just the coolest." It frequently features "It Girls" like Cory Kennedy and Peaches Geldof, and lesser-known (but still relatively popular) actresses and bands such as Lily Allen and Camilla Belle. Contrary to popular belief, NYLON is not only read by "hipsters" and "indie kids," although they certainly make up a large percentage of the "letters to the editors." Although it can sometimes be overbearingly pretentious and preoccupied with being unique, NYLON provides a nice alternative to the mass-produced "Seventeen" and "Cosmo" magazines that are so popular today. As long as you don't buy into every word of every article, NYLON can be an enjoyable magazine that introduces you to new ways of dressing, up-and-coming bands, and more.
