Peppermint Magazine

Peppermint is a green fashion magazine, covering eco and ethical style with a fun, fresh, intelligent and positive spin. Encouraging you to get off the trend mill, Peppermint promotes individuality, respect and DIY personal style, by showcasing the best of eco designers from Australia and the rest of the world. Fashion, beauty, art, craft, and culture; all with a twist of lime.

Three special edition covers • We can all agree that 2020 has pushed us to the brink but, when we have nothing else, hope remains. This issue we decided to do things differently, so we asked three artists to illustrate three separate covers, using their art to inspire a better path forward.

One tree planted for every new Peppermint subscription.
