about

BARE magazine is UC Berkeley’s one and only fashion-based publication. Since its debut in August 2007, BARE has gained immense prominence on campus as well as national exposure, winning awards and recognitions on campus and abroad within only a few years of its creation.

While many students have seen only superficiality in the fashion world, BARE has aimed to show that fashion is more than just cloth on a body. The publication embodies the diversity of looks and trends at Cal and showcases the blend of students’ talents for expression through design, photography, art, modeling, and journalism, showing that fashion is about creativity and inspiration, ingenuity, and passion. Passion for art, passion for the aesthetic, and passion for one’s own tastes, biases, and self-expression.

BARE publishes an all-gloss, all-color print publication quarterly (August, November, February, May), as well as the highly popular BARE blog, which receives over 11,000 unique readers monthly.
