Above magazine started as a biannual publication dedicated to sustainability and environmental protection. Its motto is "For The Earth". [1] [2] The first issue came out in the summer of 2009. [1] [3] The magazine was actually a reboot of what was formally a fashion magazine following its purchase by Centoria Limited. [3] [4] It was distributed by Comag, a division of Condé Nast and sold in retailers like Barnes & Noble. Articles in this first issue were written by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and David de Rothschild. [5] There was an interview of the fashion designer Stella McCartney as well as Roberto Saviano, the author of Gomorrah. [5] Those interviews were conducted respectively by Charlotte Casiraghi [6] and Beatrice Borromeo.
Above has been described as "cutting edge", a magazine using luxury, fashion, art ("eco-art"), photography, architecture, and design to raise awareness of the endangered environment. [3] The magazine is the brainchild of editor-in-chief Nicolas Rachline, grandson of Publicis founder Marcel Bleustein-Blanchet. [1] Rachline told Reuters: "Our goal is to become the destination publication for information and hopefully inspiration, about how to save beauty and preserve the environment on both collective and individual levels."
