Issue 01 · November 2026 · Global Edition · Free
Pauline Adhiambo fronts the first issue of BMG Interactive Magazine — the digital fashion magazine from BMG Global, built around one editorial code: the face is the brand. Issue 01 drops November 1, 2026.
In this issue
From the cover lines
Twenty-five models who own the global runway, and the Crown Collective — ten titleists to meet inside Issue 01. Plus BMG CATWALK’s bureaus in Kenya and Ghana, covering the shows as they happen.
Issue 01
The features inside the first issue — the cover story, the shoots, and the films.

Cover Story · Issue 01
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.
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.

Model Spotlight
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.
Issue 01 · The calendar
Where it started
The program launched ahead of Issue 01 — the first two faces ever featured, in October 2026.
Fri · Oct 16, 2026 · The first face

The ladder
One day on the spotlight calendar — your photo, your name, your tag, seen by the whole BMG audience.
The standout faces of the month return for a full magazine spread and a film made from their own footage.
The top of the ladder: the cover of BMG Interactive Magazine — where Pauline Adhiambo stands for Issue 01.

About us
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.
Sections: About Us · Castings · Events · Spotlight · Catwalk — plus Rising Stars for the generation coming up behind them, and the BMG family on screen: The Model Icon Podcast and BMG CATWALK, Shorts and all.
