PHOTO BY HELENA CHRISTENSEN
WE'RE NUMBER ONE
Scroll through the first issue of NYLON ever.
In April, 1999, the first issue of NYLON Magazine hit stands. It starred Liv Tyler, Ryan Phillipe, Blur, The Beastie Boys, Jeremy Scott, and a model-turned-photographer named Helena Christensen.
We've dreamed for a while of putting the whole thing up online and now - because it's Thursday and you're bored, because there's no more LOST or Top Model for another few months, because we love you - we're letting you have it. All of it. Right here.
And once you want to read the actual articles? Go to our Flickr and click "enlarge" on your favorite stories. We especially recommend Marvin's first Editor's Letter on page 34 - you know, for old times' sake.

I used to have the first issue, but when I moved from Montana to Texas, it got lost among the shuffle. So glad to see it exists somewhere.

Wow.
You guy had amazing photographers back then.
No offense, but your photos now lean more towards commercial.
And they all look the same.
But these.
Wow.

i would do anything-anything-for nylon to look like this again.
not only are the pictures so beautiful and original, the articles are so well-written and personal. that story on the ice cream? amazing. its so much more avant-garde and thinking outside the box with fashion, with the interviews, with everything, and nylon has gotten pretty commercial over the past few years.
please please please go back to this. or at least let us buy these oldies

AHHH! it's so wonderful to see this flashback! this is why i fell in love with NYLON. nylon has become too commercial & the stars you feature nowadays leave me with something to be desired. oh, but the old issues are fabulous.
