Publisher & Content Relaunch Market: ASOS Magazine returns on Substack and in print

Zusammenfassung des Signals

ASOS is relaunching its in-house fashion magazine. The Asos Magazine will return as a quarterly digital publication on Substack in September 2026, accompanied by a limited printed edition. The relaunch is the centerpiece of ASOS’s autumn campaign and will be supported by advertising, social media, a curated product selection (including ASOS Design and Topshop), and a five-day pop-up experience during London Fashion Week. Guest contributors named for the relaunch include make-up artist Pat McGrath (Guest Beauty Curator), Elias Medini (Lyas) as Contributing Editor, and creator Farron Clark as a marketing insider. ASOS cites a customer survey showing 68% find product selection easier than styling, and 53% want complete outfit ideas.

Retailer-owned editorial content and a newsletter/print relaunch create new owned-media inventory and commerce-driven content opportunities relevant to retail media and brand marketing, but this is not a major platform or industry-wide policy event.
