Welcome to Outset Issue 03. As our first issue of 2026, this feels like a special way to begin the year. A sense of new beginnings runs through these pages, bringing together voices, ideas, and creativity that remind us why we do what we do. There’s a fresh energy throughout, a celebration of creativity, collaboration, and the excitement of what’s still to come. A huge thank you to everyone who helped shape this issue - our wonderful contributors, designers, photographers, creatives and stylists whose talent, honesty, and creativity made it all possible. What unfolds in these pages is a celebration of collective effort and a shared love for what we do. A love letter to the North. OUTSET is a Manchester-based independent print publication and online platform elevating and celebrating the next generation of Manchester’s creatives within fashion, art and culture.
