《Inventory》雜誌宣布停刊

就在剛剛，《Inventory》主編 Ryan Williams 於 Instagram 宣布雜誌停刊。作為一本獨立雜誌，《Inventory》從 2009 年創刊至今，總共出版過 13 期雜誌。儘管《Inventory》還開設線上店鋪售賣個別男裝、家居品牌，甚至創辦創意顧問公司，但其最主要收入來源仍舊是廣告。在新媒體的衝擊下，儘管獨立雜誌如 BoF 所講，在引領一場「紙媒文藝復興」，但究竟有多少刊物可以生存到最後？

Inventory: 2009-2016 After seven years, we’ve decided to stop publishing Inventory. We’re extremely grateful to everyone that has supported the magazine by advertising with us or selling it in their stores; to those of you that have purchased a copy; and to the people and brands that have helped to bring our pages to life over the course of thirteen issues. Making this magazine has been such a valuable experience. The lessons learned, knowledge gained, and relationships cemented could never be replaced, and it’s a journey that I’ll remember forever. Due to the content and the people involved, it’s been a very personal project from the start, and I have to say the biggest thank you to my colleagues along the way. I want to acknowledge the pivotal work of Simon Roe from the beginning to the very end, as well as the roles played by Philip Watts and Owen Parrott, Stephen Mann and Anthony Hooper, Matthew Klassen and Chris Allen. Without your dedication Inventory would not have reached the same heights. I look back on the legacy of what we’ve created with awe and pride, but the publishing landscape has shifted and it feels like the right time to move on, to conclude things with arguably our best issue, and pursue new challenges and opportunities. Sincerely, Ryan Willms
