The Polyglot: The Polyglot was launched in 2007 in response to Condé Nast’s decision to not publish a Middle East edition of Vogue. The purpose of this site is to change perceptions about the Middle East and its Diaspora, by bridging cultures through a shared appreciation for art, fashion and design. Through cultural commentary, historical references and interviews with creative individuals shaping the region, the hope is to create a venue for cultural understanding and the exchange of ideas. Alex Aubry is a Chicago-based writer, educator, curator and fashion/cultural historian. His work has appeared in various publications including Unfair Magazine, Muraqqa, BROWNBOOK, Aramco World and Dia Magazine. He has also been the Editor at Large for Dia, a London-based publication geared towards the Middle East and its Diaspora. He is currently the online-editor for the D'NA website. The Polyglot serves as a venue for unedited versions of his published work as well as new material. Contact The Polyglot at z.polyglot@gmail.com
