New NYC mag CREEM features some local talent

The newly-launched, NYC-based fashion quarterly CREEM has some local connections. Its marketing director is Dustin Helgeson, a retail/fashion veteran who recently relocated to New York, and its editor-in-chief is Jenn Cress, a Minnesota-based photographer. Cress also did the shoot for the lead-off image currently on the mag's website, which stars Vision model Diane Johnson, now based in New York, with makeup by Romeny Chan and hair by Adam Livermore.
