Interviews: Caroline Issa – Owner of Tank Magazine
Caroline Issa – owner of Tank Magazine – is known for her impeccable sense of style but fashion aside Caroline is also an astute entrepreneur. Being at the helm of such an innovative and influential publication means she’s always on the go and in the know. Here, Caroline takes some time out of her busy schedule to talk fashion, music, travel and more… Can you tell our readers a little bit about yourself, your background and how you came to own Tank Magazine? I actually studied business in Philadelphia as an undergraduate and moved to San Francisco after that as a strategic management consultant, working with fashion retailers and consumer brand companies on their business strategy. Working in the US and in Asia, I was then moved to work in London with a UK-based retailer before meeting my now-business partner, Masoud Golsorkhi who had started Tank magazine four years earlier. I found him to be an inspiring partner and thought, I’m young, when else can I become an entrepreneur with such an amazing opportunity and product. Five years later, I’m still here! Any thoughts on increasing Tank’s online presence and launching a blog? We have been debating in the office what we want Tank’s online presence to be. We currently have our own project, www.tank.tv which we started five years ago showing moving images online and has had shows at the Tate Modern and the ICA. Regarding our magazine’s online presence, we are aiming to launch something unique, which doesn’t just translate what the paper version is but adds a layer for the readers. Watch this space. Your job requires that you’re constantly on the go, travelling. But which destination is your favourite spot to just getaway? I love Singapore for the food, Beijing for the sights and Montreal for […]
Read MoreOpinions: Should designer and high street collaborations stay exclusive?
Traditionally, fashion was associated only with big name designers like Prada, Ghesquiere, Lanvin or Yves St. Laurent. Each season they would dictate what the masses would wear the next season, but it would often take quite some time for these new trends to trickle their way down to the department stores at a price level the average person could afford. H&M, Target and Kohl’s weren’t exactly going to be found on the cover of InStyle or Vogue.

Read MoreHas it been 10 years already?
It’s been 10 years since the fashion industry was rocked by the senseless murder of Gianni Versace and 10 years since Matthew Williamson emerged. The former will be remembered with a series of tributes. The latter celebrated with a showing during London fashion week and an exhibition at the London Design Museum. In retrospect both landmarks represented the end and the beginning of what was to come. Fashion as we knew it is no longer….some changes have been good – who would have thought one day we could watch a Gucci show live from the comfort of our homes? Some have been bad….we’re still debating about the relevance of couture (its relevant god-damn-it!) and others have been downright ugly (these celebrities are relentless…they’re determined to take over fashion). But I’m still asking myself has it been 10 years already!
