System magazine is a biannual publication geared toward insiders of the fashion industry. The magazine offers long-format conversations with relevant individuals within the fashion industry, accompanied by portfolios created by image-makers. (System was earlier the name of a successful American magazine, "the magazine of business," introduced by A.W. Shaw in 1900.)
Publishing company
System was initially published by Tartan Publishing, until Mike Obenson bought the publication in 2020. With him System continued to evolve as an influential media brand, including the launch of another biannual sister publication 'System Beauty' in 2022 and expanding digital formats. In December 2024, three of System's founders, Elizabeth von Guttman, Jonathan Wingfield and Thomas Lenthal, reacquired the title.{{cite web | url=https://www.businessoffashion.com/news/media/system-co-founders-reacquire-magazine/ | title=System Co-Founders Reacquire Magazine | date=11 December 2024 }}
