Issue N°VII
In 2019, James V. Thomas founded Sky Blue with a clear mission: to defy the conventions of mainstream men’s magazines, which too often revolved around sportswear and entertainment. He envisioned a publication that would captivate not only through visual refinement but also through content that provokes thought and rewards curiosity.
Originating from the outskirts of Philadelphia, James moved to Paris at eighteen to study fashion, a journey that revealed his true vocation. Today, he traverses the globe in pursuit of evocative nostalgia, enduring beauty, unparalleled craftsmanship—and, naturally, the perfect cocktail.
Sky Blue is the product of a cultivated network of James’ peers, each contributing a distinct perspective on style, culture, and lifestyle. Together, they create a magazine that is as intellectually engaging as it is visually compelling, encouraging readers to pursue their passions with curiosity, rigor, and refinement.
