With Page Six Magazine quickly approaching its one-year anniversary, I thought it would be a good time to check in with Margi Conklin, Editor in Chief of Page Six Magazine. Here’s what she had to say about the first year:

CoverAwards: How’s everything going with Page Six Magazine?

Conklin: Really great. We’re coming up on our first anniversary at the end of September, and our bumper Fashion Issue is out on September 7, which will be the second biggest issue we’ve produced to date.

CoverAwards: What is your favorite cover so far/least favorite cover?

Conklin: I’m still very proud of the launch cover. We were the first to put the Gossip Girls on a magazine cover, and we shot them in a very New York setting — on a rooftop next to the Empire State Building. It screamed New York City, and really captured the fun, punchy essence of the magazine.

Looking back, there are a couple of celebrities I wouldn’t put on the cover again, but it would be impolite of me to say exactly who.

CoverAwards: How do you decide on the cover topics?

Conklin: We are eternally interested in hot, fascinating people who are either from New York, or are emblematic of New York in some way. Of course, some stars transcend the city — we featured Gavin Rossdale in June, but he’s still captivating to the reader. I love that Page Six Magazine can celebrate a range of stars from all different professions and ages and even genders.

CoverAwards: Can you share with us how you are approaching the design of the cover?

Conklin: We are aiming for a very clean, upscale look that still has a hint of sexiness or sensationalism to it. Tilted fonts or bright yellows and reds can add just enough pizzazz to a beautiful image, and create the right balance.

CoverAwards: Do you think Page Six Magazine will ever be made available as a stand-alone product on the newsstand?
