About Us
Clutch Magazine is the new face of the urban “it” girl; offering a delicious mix of the best in fashion, beauty, life, culture, and more. Clutch aims to appeal to every side of today’s multicultural woman—the fashionista, the working girl, the conscious mind, the social butterfly, the up and comer—and empowers readers to make informed choices about the myriad of decisions that impact their world.
