Polyester The Jade Issue

Polyester is an independent, feminist culture magazine exploring identity, art, fashion, and politics through a playful, provocative lens. Founded and edited by Ione Gamble, the magazine gives voice to queer, feminist, and marginalised perspectives often excluded from mainstream media. With each issue, Polyester blends striking visual editorials, personal essays, interviews, and experimental art—celebrating messiness, contradiction, and the beauty of being unapologetically yourself. Known for its bold aesthetic, DIY ethos, and commitment to inclusivity, Polyester is more than a magazine—it’s a community space for radical softness and subversive joy.
