I think there are many similarly cutting edge/independent magazines nowadays too hey. And with many differing styles too. For example, as well as your type of 'haute couture/fine art photography'? I also enjoy the kind you see in magazines such as Vice. More raw/'real' stuff... I'm a big fan of a Martin Parr type style being used in fashion photography for example. I don't know how technically talented these photographers are compared to you... but it's achieving photographs that can be thought of as art that's important like you say.
I have been shooting quite a bit for a couple of UK Trendy Mags one is "Issue One" magazine and the other is "All Access". The UK produces some of the most cutting edge Fashion Mags in the world. Look at "ID" for example or "Dazed and Confused" and "Wallpaper"...So ahead of their time.
