PRAISE FOR
Mag World: Mad Magazines, Fad Fashion, Bad Beauty And Finding The Way Out (2017)
“With magazines, Emilia has put her finger on a hugely important issue (pardon the pun!) She is an immensely talented and whip-smart writer, and I can’t imagine a better guide to the funhouse nightmare land that is Mag World — or someone better positioned to imagine a more hopeful future for readers everywhere.”
— Alexandra Petri, The Washington Post
“Growing up with the Internet made millennials realize that transparency is not only inevitable but healthy. The beauty, fashion and magazine industries would all benefit from being conscious of Emilia’s vision. Mag World offers insights for professionals within the media to create content that facilities deeper human connection.”
— Elena Baxter, Conscious Magazine
“I always knew that a counter-cultural community existed outside the beauty, fashion and magazines industries, but when I read Mag World, I developed a way of thinking — an inner supportive voice — built from Emilia’s ideals. I highly recommend every woman read her passionate advice so that they too can know their own worth when facing challenges from the media.”
— Elise Crawford, Ringlet
“Emilia Ferrara profoundly articulates the internal struggle that women have felt for decades when it comes to media’s constant false narrative of how we can be happy. With voices like her’s, who are challenging the media landscape with intellect and grace, I am confident we will see an honest shift in the content that is produced to create stronger and more realistic stories.”
— Rachael Baxter, Conscious Magazine
“Is fashion an instrument of aspirational self-expression or is fashion a snapshot of one’s actual identity?”
— EMILIA FERRARA
