VINTOIRE
The cover never printed — fashion, framed for the wall.
From the studio behind imagii
Vintoire is a collection of original fashion plates dressed as the covers of magazines that never existed. Invented titles, imagined issue numbers, a year that lives only on the page — each one conjures the glamour of mid-century high society, from the salons of Paris and the Riviera to the avenues of New York.
It is one of two title series within Vintage Magazine Art, imagii's wider body of faux magazine cover prints. Vintoire is our own named magazine, with its script masthead and its own house style; its companion series carries the VINTAGE masthead instead.
The idea
A magazine cover, reimagined as art
Original artwork
Every cover is designed from scratch by imagii — the title, the era, the styling. Nothing is reproduced or licensed; the world on each piece is entirely its own.
A mid-century mood
Couture silhouettes, sea-light and cocktail hour, the quiet confidence of the 1950s on both sides of the Atlantic — composed with a Didone masthead and a painter's palette.
Made to be framed
Each design is built as a true cover — masthead, cover line, issue detail — so it reads as a collectible the moment it's on the wall.
The conceit
Issues from a glamour that was only ever imagined
There was never a magazine called Vintoire. That's the point. Each cover borrows the language of the golden-age fashion press — the sweeping masthead, the dateline, the single arresting figure — and uses it to tell a small, invented story — a striking figure, a setting, a year that never was. The result feels found rather than designed: a back issue rescued from an archive that only exists on your wall.
The same archive holds a second run of titles. Vintage Magazine Covers sets the VINTAGE masthead as the mid-century press would have set it — a different house style, the same invented world.
Where it belongs
Made to elevate the room it's in
At home
A hallway, a dressing room, above the bar cart — a piece that gives a space instant character and a story to ask about.
At work
Studios, offices and creative spaces that want warmth and polish without the corporate-print cliché.
In commercial spaces
Boutiques, salons, hotels and restaurants where atmosphere is part of the welcome — sets of covers read beautifully as a wall.
