runway magazining

The act of wanting to appear to be, resemble, compete with, or borrow the cultural identity of RUNWAY Magazine, then using AI-generated imagery, synthetic editorial content, manufactured presentation, or imitation magazine aesthetics to create the appearance of comparable legitimacy, influence, history, or relevance.

The term was coined humorously as a satirical description of what its creator views as Eleonora de Gray’s public-facing approach to presenting Runway Magazine / Runway Magazines, particularly the use of AI-generated imagery and magazine-style presentation to project an image of fashion-media prominence.
“Posting another AI-generated celebrity cover and presenting it like an established fashion editorial? That’s runway magazining.”
