About Verdad

Handwritten: this bitch stole my magazine idea!

“She was my first roommate when I moved from Texas to Milan. To distract ourselves from daily stresses and homesickness, we would often chat about her idea to develop a magazine that would allow visionaries to share their work and gain inspiration.

She was precise and thoughtful with her magazine’s mission; she wanted every reader of the magazine—from the artist who is financially dependent on their work to the student sneaking Verdad under their desk—to use the magazine as a vessel for recognizing and utilizing their creative power. By featuring pieces made by a range of creative individuals, not just those already established within the arts, the magazine provides unique perspectives that are not commonly shared within the art world. The most important part of the magazine is the hope attached to it. Verdad acts as an open dialogue for people from all points of the artistic spectrum to share their thoughts, thus creating a cyclical effect as readers realize they have the power to impact others simply by taking a chance and believing in their creative passions.

From the beginning, I knew our conversations about the magazine were not silly hypotheticals between roommates, but rather a venture that she would execute impeccably. Now that her vision has come to life, I can confidently say that I was right. It is with great honor that I welcome you to the world of Verdad.”

We need to talk.

A life devoted to others still has to be your own. Sisters Giuliana and Maddalena speak with us about the desire behind a vocation and the choices that follow it. A shared front door, the need to be alone, the closeness of people who may not stay: how do you make room for others without disappearing?

Relax! It’s only fashion.
