Fashion&Runway is an independent magazine. No brand, retailer or holding company has a stake in this publication, and none has ever been given approval over a piece before publication. Editors decide what we cover; nobody outside the newsroom sees a story before it goes live.
Our writers do not accept payment, gifts or travel from the companies they write about. Where a trip, a show or a product loan has been provided by a brand, we say so in the piece itself, in the same size type as the rest of the article — not in a footnote. Samples sent to us unsolicited are either returned or donated, and never resold.
Affiliate links appear in some shopping pieces. They earn us a commission when a reader buys, and they never determine which products are chosen or how they are ranked. If a product is in a list, it is because a writer put it there.
Sponsored content
We publish commercial content, and we label it every time. Sponsored pieces carry a visible label above the headline, sit on a distinct background, and are excluded from our editorial rankings and from the homepage lead position. They are written by a separate commercial team, never by the journalists who cover the same brands.
Our standing rules for anything a brand has paid for:
- The advertiser is named at the top of the piece, not at the bottom.
- No sponsored article is presented as a review, a test or a ranking.
- Advertisers see the piece before publication; they never see, or influence, editorial coverage.
- Sponsored pieces are excluded from newsletters that carry an editorial recommendation.
- Labels stay on the piece permanently, including in our archive.
Corrections
When we get something wrong, we fix it and we say what changed. Factual corrections are appended at the foot of the article with the date and a plain description of the error. Significant corrections are also flagged at the top. We do not quietly edit a published piece, and we do not remove articles from the archive except on legal advice..
Anyone can request a correction. Write to us and a senior editor will respond within three working days, whether or not we agree that a change is needed.
