ABOUT VARIANT MAGAZINE
Who We Are
Formerly known as The Scene; VARIANT is the first mass printed fashion magazine at Ohio University.
Striving to be bold, deviant, and progressive from the norm; VARIANT is a creative movement that inspires to explore the unexplored and break the stereotypical boundaries of fashion and pop culture.
VARIANT is both a print and online publication that values diversity and represent all types of cultures and identities
in our issues. Our team provides students and contributors with hands-on experience in editorial, photography, videography, modeling, styling, set-design and event planning.
