hy hello there Chicks!
Wecome to the first edition of
CHICK Magazine.
We’re so glad someone (us) forced you to
take a copy of our magazine and then some
one (us) sat and stared at you until you read
it! You might be wondering, based on the
ambiguous name, what CHICK is all about.
We have a fascination with the “girly mag
azine.” Before the dawn of social media,
print magazines were a major influencer of
fashion, trends, and social codes for young
women. Unlike “fashion-tok” or celebrity
news accounts, publications from the golden
age of teen media (50s-90s) were expressly
artistic. A magazine is a tangible experience,
a capture of young life put to the page in a
colorful, beautiful display. CHICK is part fash
ion magazine, part journalistic publication,
part Haverford yearbook, part art collective,
and part time capsule.
We both separately dreamed of starting a
magazine at Haverford, and CHICK is the
amalgamation of everything we both love—
Squire’s journalistic background and love
of culture writing, Norah’s creative eye and
artistic experience, and both of our tendency
W
to take way too long picking out outfits.
Inspired by people-centered (and non-prob
lematic) student and professional publica
tions like Rookie Yearbook, CHICK is a place
for fun, safety, acceptance, community and
cute clothes! It is made with love by Norah
and Squire and everyone else who contrib
uted to this issue.
Any student in the bi-co is welcome to
participate as writers, photographers, mod
els, and columnists. The goal of CHICK is to
capture the spirit and authenticity of youth,
femininity, and community in a wholesome,
authentic and fun-to-flip-through form.
This fall/winter issue of CHICK contains an
array of media—we have opinion pieces by
brilliant writers, student art submissions,
fun little fashion ditties (check out Squire’s
collection of purses on the next page), and
a piece on Haverford hookup culture. Flip
through on the Blue Bus for some style
inspo, or sit and read it cover to cover on the
Lutnick couches to procrastinate your work;
it’s up to you. Happy flipping!
Love,
Norah and Squire
