Cover Story · Issue 01
The Natural Force — My Hair Is My Crown
Pauline Adhiambo · Cover star, Issue 01
Pauline Adhiambo is the face of Issue 01 — and the statement the whole issue is built on. Shot in profile, hair worn natural and full, crowned with jeweled butterflies, she carries the cover the way BMG Interactive believes a cover should be carried: by the face alone.
“The face is the brand.”
That line is the magazine’s editorial code, and Pauline is its first proof. The full cover story — her interview, her shoot, and her journey to the cover — runs inside Issue 01, out November 1, 2026.
The Shoot · Issue 01
Introducing Taka
Taka Ngiro · @takangiRO · Kenya — model and doctor. Her full story arrives in Issue 01; her pictures are already here.
The opener. The white dress — the page that introduces Taka to Issue 01.
The film. Taka in motion — her shoot film runs on her page inside Issue 01. Flip to her pages in the Flip Reader to watch it without leaving the magazine.
Model Spotlight
Face of the Day
Every day of the issue, one face carries the magazine — and now she lives on the calendar. Issue 01 runs through November 2026, thirty days, thirty faces: each day a model appears here with her photo, her name, and the link straight to her Instagram. Every day we invite ten models to claim a day and submit their strongest face shot — as each face is confirmed, her day fills in below.

Castings · Events
Get Booked
From the Issue 01 cover line: “Digitals That Get Booked — What Top Agents Look For.” Here is how BMG Interactive sees new faces.
Open casting
Face of the Day submissions
The magazine’s daily spotlight is an open door. To be considered:
- One strong face shot — clean light, no heavy filter. The face is the brand.
- 3–5 photos ready to send if you’re selected — editorial or shoot quality.
- A short video if you have one — selected faces get a film made from their footage.
- A line or two about you — where you’re from and where you’re headed.
Magazine features
Spreads & Rising Star
Full features — spreads like Taka’s and the Rising Star runway features — are cast from the faces the magazine already knows: Face of the Day selections, RUNWAY TV collaborators, and models who send their shoot video with their photos.
- RUNWAY TV collaborators get seen by the magazine team.
- Rising Star is cast from the youth and fashion-week circuit.
- Adults 18+ for all magazine features.

The BMG family

About us
A Magazine That Moves
BMG Interactive Magazine is the digital fashion magazine of BMG Global (Broadcast Media Global) — an interactive publication, not a stack of static pages. Stories carry spreads you can flip page by page, galleries that open full-screen, and faces you can follow straight to their own pages.
The magazine exists for one thing: putting Black models from around the world — Africa, the Caribbean, Brazil, the UK, Europe, the US and Canada — on covers, in spreads, and on runways, and building the ladder that takes a new face from a daily spotlight to a cover of her own.
Issue 01 is the beginning: one cover, one code — the face is the brand.
Sections: About Us · Castings · Events · Spotlight · Runway — plus Rising Star for the generation coming up behind them, and the BMG family on screen: The Model Icon Podcast and RUNWAY TV, Shorts and all.
