Clutterf*ck Magazine emerged from a collaborative university project during my second year. As part of a module, we were tasked with creating and launching a first edition magazine. Clutterf*ck aimed to celebrate the maximalist spirit of Gen Z, providing a safe haven for women and LGBTQ+ individuals who revel in self-expression through collecting and personal adornment. Our vision was to honour the sentimental attachment people develop towards their possessions, fostering a sense of community and camaraderie. We focused on items popular among Gen Z women and LGBTQ+ individuals, such as jelly cats, Sylvanian families, Miffy, Hello Kitty, shoes, clothes, hair accessories, jewelry, and vinyl records. We believe in the joy of collecting as a means of connection, emphasising passion, dedication, and the inherent fun of maximalism. Clutterf*ck Magazine is envisioned as a lively, quirky, and inclusive space.
