In 2007, 23-year-old ERIK MADIGAN HECK founded Nomenus Quarterly, a fashion and art magazine contributed to by iconic industry personalities. Each new issue of Nomenus comes both as a limited edition format for several thousand dollars and as an online publication (with bonus content), gratis!

ERIK MADIGAN HECK about other magazines:”Initially when you grow up you say, “I want to shoot for Vogue,” or “I want to shoot for Dazed or V,” or whatever you’re into. But for me, there were very few publications that got it right. I had been looking at magazines that existed in art and fashion and none of them really functioned the way I wanted a publication to function. None of them are really showcasing worthwhile art or fashion—they’re just in a weird in-between place. So I wanted to cultivate what my own very specific idea of aesthetics in art and fashion was, and what I felt was being missed or bypassed by the abundance of mainstream pop culture. I wanted to feature the important artists and designers—not necessarily the trendy new kids and I wanted you to see their work, not their faces…”

Having shot the collections of designers such as Rodarte, Lanvin, Dries Van Noten, Jean Paul Gaultier or Helmut Lang, I am personally impressed by the distinct style of photography he has developed.
