Spring 2026: Gilded
Founded in 2021 and published biannually (once each semester), Gray Area Magazine is Connecticut College’s premier fashion, art, and culture and magazine, currently in the process of shifting its focus more towards art and culture. We are focused on the many Gray Areas that exist in the world of trends. How we express our fashion, art, and culture should break rules and push the boundaries.
Our goal is to lead our readers to the unexpected, unconventional, and unfamiliar. We are here to spark new and creative ideas that will constantly reinvent themselves into styles that delight and inspire the Connecticut College community.
In capturing the incredibly cultivated personal styles and lives across campus and the globe, we hope to inform our readers of the personal power that comes with unique individual expression. Gray Area turns the atypical into the coveted. Predictable is played. It’s time to hone in on the area that is too often overlooked. We want to highlight topics that rarely receive the attention they deserve.
Our mission is to represent ALL people at Connecticut College. We are adamant that every voice is heard in the process of introducing our magazine to campus. We strive to stand for inclusivity. For every photo shoot we host and every issue we publish, we provide an open-invite for all students to participate as models, photographers, stylists, writers, and provide their creativity.
