Huge (magazine)
Huge was a Japanese men's fashion and culture magazine published from 2004 to 2015 by Kodansha. It distinguished itself through its oversized format and a focus on sophisticated styling, art direction, and in-depth features. The magazine covered a wide range of topics, including fashion (both domestic and international), music, art, design, travel, and subculture.
Known for its high production values and visually arresting photography, Huge often featured collaborations with renowned photographers and stylists. Its target audience was generally men in their 20s and 30s interested in contemporary style and cultural trends. The magazine often featured interviews with prominent figures in the arts and entertainment industries, both Japanese and international.
Huge ceased publication in 2015, citing shifts in the media landscape and changing readership habits. Despite its relatively short lifespan, the magazine is remembered for its significant influence on Japanese men's fashion and its contribution to the visual culture of the early 21st century. Back issues of Huge remain sought after by collectors and those interested in the history of Japanese fashion magazines.
