《Inventory》杂志宣布停刊

就在刚刚，《Inventory》主编 Ryan Williams 于 Instagram 宣布杂志停刊。作为一本独立杂志，《Inventory》从 2009 年创刊至今，总共出版过 13 期杂志。尽管《Inventory》还开设线上店铺售卖个别男装、家居品牌，甚至创办创意顾问公司，但其最主要收入来源仍旧是广告。在新媒体的冲击下，尽管独立杂志如 BoF 所讲，在引领一场「纸媒文艺复兴」，但究竟有多少刊物可以生存到最后？

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
