Magazines have never stopped “being a thing” in the fashion and art worlds, and in a lot of ways the recent “rebirth of magazines” is just the rest of culture catching up. See for example the numerous fashion magazine stores in Berlin or London, and magazines like Número, Fantastic Man, 032c, or I-D. The business model of premium printed products seems to have worked well for some niches, and I think it may work well for others - as long as the audience is the kind that appreciates printed material that isn’t purely for acquiring information.
