Izzy Colón

Culture writer and editor

Hi, I’m Izzy.

I’m a Chicago-based writer and editor exploring how culture takes shape through what we wear, listen to, consume, and create. My work spans reporting and editorial strategy for The New York Times, SPIN, Vox Magazine, and The Subtext.

I also write Dreamworld, a newsletter and imagination space exploring fashion, music, and culture.
