Welcome to The Citizen’s Poste
The Citizen’s Poste is an independent magazine and creative studio exploring the shape of fashion and culture today. Founded in 2022, we publish sharp, sensory editorials and commission original work from emerging and established voices across fashion, art, and design. Our work resists speed and noise in favor of depth, wit, and a point of view.
Our editorial arm produces longform features, interviews, and cultural commentary that look beyond headlines to trace the patterns that define style. We approach publishing with refinement and self-possession, creating work for the modern intellect: readers who demand depth, originality, and a view of fashion that transcends trend reports and disposable fads. We publish slowly, deliberately, and with intention, privileging work that elevates cultural discourse rather than chasing fleeting attention.
This philosophy extends into The Residency, where readers are granted complimentary access to print content, invitations to exclusive discussions, and a front-row seat into how we develop ideas, narratives, and cultural insight. It is an opportunity for readers to experience the magazine as an active, evolving space, not merely as a publication.
Our creative studio, Salt Bar, translates that same rigor into brand collaborations, campaigns, and cultural strategy. Like a hotel bar tucked inside a historic building, Salt Bar is where outsiders step in, linger, and cross paths. At the heart of our philosophy is a belief that magazines should carry cultural capital, not just commerce, which is why every one of our projects are built with intention, each issue conceived as a body of work that reveals its meaning cumulatively, never in fragments.
The new guard of fashion and culture lives here— curated for (and by) those who understand that taste is a language, that intellect is a luxury, and that cultural authority must be earned, not bought.
Mackenzie Ostrowski is the Founder, Editor-in-Chief, and Creative Director of The Citizen’s Poste. Since launching the magazine in 2022, she’s shaped its editorial vision with precision, commissioning work that moves seamlessly between storytelling, cultural insight, and strategic impact.
Known for an instinctive eye for emerging trends and an exacting approach to creative direction, Mackenzie treats every project— editorial or client-facing— with the same rigor and discernment. She is both tastemaker and arbiter, shaping what the industry sees, values, and remembers.
When she’s not pioneering new projects, Mackenzie enjoys 7AM Pilates, overpriced cocktails, and dancing in her kitchen.
