IRK Magazine is an Independent Paris-based Fashion, Art, and Photography magazine. We showcase talent that is extraordinary, models with character, photographers with mind blowing ideas, hairstylists that make a shoot and makeup artists who are artists, and for fashion we choose new designers, forward thinking fashion, and pushing the limit icons.

Each issue has a specific theme driving our choice of contributors and to inspire them to create original pieces for the issue. Every issue is carefully curated as if it were an exhibition in a museum bringing together the finest contributors across the globe.
