As the magazine for American Express Platinum Cardholders, the bimonthly Departures is a luxury lifestyles magazine. With a laundry list of topics, Departures makes for great pitching. Editors cover interior design, objets d'art, art and culture, travel, food, technology, money and health. There's also a section on men's style and high-end women's jewelry. Recent articles have included "Techno Toys" about the electronic products that make pens and books obsolete, and "Vines & Spirits" about the best wines of Eastern Washington. Feature sections include Arts & Culture, Jewelry, Interior Design, Men's Style, and Travel Guide.
You'll gain high marks with editors if products and ideas focus on the good life: the emphasis is on luxury lifestyles. Lead time is three to four months for the bimonthly.
Assistant to the Editor Clare Elkerton takes all ideas by fax (212/827-6497) or e-mail ([email protected]). (44 percent of readers are women; 33 percent of readers have a median HHI of over $250,000; median age, 37)
