About

In April 2024, Wilson Ballarin established Cold Magazine to provide independent designers and creatives in the fashion industry with a platform to express themselves. We are there to help up-and-coming talent, encourage artistic partnerships and help independent brands thrive in London’s vibrant art community. We live in a community and we recognize that innovation is the key and a place for creatives to express themselves, connect and create new opportunities in this highly competitive marketplace. Since opening in April 2024, Cold Magazine has rapidly developed into a comprehensive project. A few months after its inception the team grew when Lily Rose Morris-Zumin and Jude Jones joined as heads of content and Penelope Bianchi who from 2026 became COO to head the editorial team and a separate events division. They have helped to expand our vision, whether it’s creating interesting content for digital platforms or setting up multidisciplinary showcases like art exhibitions and fashion pop-ups. Cold Magazine made its debut in the world of print in May 2026 and created a worldwide distribution network, presenting readers to independent creative voices from all over the world.
