Company History

In the quiet suburbs of Fairfax, Virgina, founders Amir Fallah and Jay Littleton began Beautiful/Decay in 1996 as a small black & white "zine" while still in high school. Taking the name from a quote by artist Barry Mcgee (Twist) in graffiti zine 12oz. Prophet, “Beautiful/Decay” described everything Amir loved about emerging art and underground culture. Since then, Amir and his partners, Ben Osher and Fubz, have taken the publication from a black & white “zine” with a 3,000 copy circulation to a full color publication with an international distribution of more than 45,000 copies. The bi-coastal publication has branched out to create Beautiful/Decay branded books, curate art shows, develop event sponsorship programs, as well as launch a highly sought after artist’s series apparel line and various limited edition products.

Beautiful/Decay Magazine

Beautiful/Decay is founded on the theory, “if you can’t find it, make it.” Beautiful/Decay’s format is revolutionary in that it documents the convergence of fine art, graffiti, design, fashion, music and other relevant forms of art. We pride ourselves in exposing the magazine’s diverse readership to mediums, ideas and creative expressions that are not juxtaposed in any other independent publication.

Over the last decade, Beautiful/Decay has garnered a reputation for breaking never-before-seen artists, covering fine art with a youthful and informed point of view and being “THE” go-to handbook for Creative Directors, curators, collectors, artists, designers and musicians in the know.

Beautiful/Decay Apparel

B/D created an artist designed Apparel line in early 2006. Since its conception, Beautiful/Decay has strived to support emerging and established artists through the publication. Each of the artists featured on our one of a kind and highly succesful T-shirts have previously contributed to the magazine, creating a line that acts as “wearable art.” The shirts are available on our online store www.indiemerchstore.com/beautifuldecay and at high-end boutiques internationally.
