(6B2) PPP3: Creative Conversations, Valentina Egoavil Medina

Suspira Magazine

Studied Fashion Design and went into buying and merchandising
She also did a Masters in Fashion Journalism

She worked on the WPROJECT which started off only on Instagram, this was her first job after university.
She worked on the social media side and any events that were taking place
This job was unpaid

Biggest Challenge?
To pay bills without selling your soul

Suspira Magazine:



Themed issues for each copy
Proving that horror has a lot of cultural merits- not just music, art and illustration
Female voices are important
Important for any marginalised group to have their own voices (this works nicely through independent publications)
Not in a rush to produce lots of copies of the magazine as its important that a lot of time and research goes into each issue
Doesn't see it going online any time soon
