Marmalade Magazine is a British publication covering the creative industries, media, style, fashion and contemporary culture. It was founded in late 2002 by journalist Kirsty Robinson and art director Sacha Spencer-Trace.

Its contributors range from established artists, photographers and writers to new and unknown talent, many of whom are still studying.

Along with Super Super and Amelia's Magazine, Marmalade is seen as part of a new wave of British style magazines threatening the declining readerships of older titles such as i-D and Dazed & Confused.


Well-known contributors to date include:

Wolfgang Tillmans (Turner Prize-winning photographer)

Irvine Welsh (Novelist and author of Trainspotting)

Grayson Perry (Turner Prize-winning artist)

Zoe Williams (Journalist)

JT Leroy (Writer)


On December 18th, 2006 it was reported in The Guardian newspaper that Marmalade Magazine and Myspace.com were working together to create the first magazine made entirely from Myspace user-generated content.

"MySpace is the ultimate democratic medium where anyone with talent can showcase their work. Through our partnership with Marmalade we hope to translate this DIY quality into print, and hand the reins over to undiscovered creatives with fresh ideas."

- Jamie Kantrowitz, Senior Vice-President of Marketing and Content, MySpace Europe.[1]
