>the art isn't mine btw, it's from the tokyo fashion fest 2009...

And how does this make the art good, anon? It's still terrible, and that doesn't bode well if you're making a zine. You could try asking people nicely on social media if they'd provide images in place of street snaps. They might even give you snaps of outfits not on their social media. That's one idea. In exchange, you could give them a zine.

If you have money, you can hire good artists to create content for you like your cover page. Perhaps familiarize yourself with all the j-fashion magazines so you have an idea of what people like to read about. (Stores! New makeup! Events!) You can greenlight meets and events that aren't sketchy or subpar, and focus on publicity for well-put together events.

If I see a zine with that art from Tokyo Fashion Fest 2009, I'm not going to want it even if it's free. If nothing else, you've learned that here.
