    About

    Nylon is an American multimedia brand that started as a print magazine and grew into a digital powerhouse covering pop culture, fashion, music, and more. The publication's name is a portmanteau of New York and London, two cities that have long shaped its editorial voice. Over the years, Nylon has featured everything from celebrity interviews and beauty trends to tech and travel, making it a go-to for young, style-conscious readers.

    In 2017, Nylon made the bold move to an all-digital format, a shift that reflected the changing media landscape. The brand continued to evolve under the ownership of Bustle Digital Group (BDG), which acquired it in 2019. Then, in a surprising twist, Nylon announced in 2023 that it would return to print, and it now releases a print magazine twice a year, blending the best of both worlds.

    Nylon's tone is playful, irreverent, and deeply in tune with internet culture. It doesn't just report on trends; it helps set them. Whether it's a deep dive into a rising musician or a photo essay on street style, Nylon approaches its subjects with a fresh, conversational energy that has kept it relevant for decades.
