Buoy's 20th birthday

You’ll have noticed a few changes in this issue of Lucire, notably the disappearance of the red box from the masthead. It hasn’t happened on all our editions, but since New Zealand is our home country, we’re making this move here fi rst. Many logos go outside the box after a while and as we begin our 12th year, it was time to reinvent ourselves. The world is finally catching up to Lucire’s digital lead—we were the country’s fi rst commercial online fashion magazine in 1997; and it is catch ing up to our environmental commitment—in 2003 the United Nations Environment Programme named us its first fashion industry partner.
