In the dynamic landscape of print media, it is rare to find a magazine that not only informs but also transforms lives. D’IDÉES Magazine, founded by Marco Fernandes and Mayara Morelli, is a shining example of this exception, gaining prominence in Brazil and now venturing across the ocean with the launch of its UK edition. This magazine, which embraces mental health, provides space for readers to send in their confessions and seeks independent stories with a warm and welcoming approach in its interviews, changing the way we perceive journalism and storytelling.

Mental health has become a global priority, and D’IDÉES Magazine is leading the way, fearlessly addressing mental health issues in its pages. “In a world where stigma still prevails, we strive to shed light on personal experiences, triumphs, and resources available to those battling mental disorders,” remarks Marco. 

The magazine, which made its physical debut during the winter edition of SPFW, supported one of the main runway shows. Its articles not only educate but also create a sense of community, making readers feel understood and supported.

In a nostalgic nod to the magazines of decades past, D’IDÉES Magazine invites its readers to send in their confessions, sharing their joys, struggles, and challenges. These accounts are carefully selected, responded to, and published in newsletters, under the care of Wellness Editor Barbara Nascimento, creating a space for expression and solidarity. “The magazine revives the tradition of giving voice to the public, allowing people to connect through their shared experiences,” says Barbara.

Soulful Interviews

The most distinctive feature of D’IDÉES Magazine is its approach to interviews. Each interview is more than a mere exchange of questions and answers; it’s a genuine and profound conversation that enables the interviewee to tell their story just as they envision it. It’s not about sensational headlines but about understanding the nuances, details, and experiences that shape people’s lives.

In an exclusive interview with the Editor-in-Chief of the magazine, Mayara Morelli, she shared, “We want each story to be a collaboration, where the interviewee is a co-author of their own narrative. We value the power of words and empathy, believing that’s where the true essence of journalism lies.”

D’IDÉES Magazine is more than a magazine; it’s a supportive community, a safe space to share, learn, and grow. Its expansion to the UK is a courageous step toward a more compassionate and human-centered approach to journalism. As the magazine continues to open new horizons, we hope it inspires other publications to follow suit, placing empathy and authenticity at the heart of their stories. It’s a captivating journey worth following.

Furthermore, D’IDÉES Magazine stands out by giving space to new and innovative brands, with a special commitment to women entrepreneurs, vegan brands, and those collaborating with sustainability. This unique approach promotes ecological and inclusive diversity in its pages, reflecting progressive values that align with modern readers’ expectations. The magazine’s team includes talents like Vanessa Grinberg in the gastronomy department, Caroline Amaral in the beauty section, Gabu Camacho and Haru Kavazuro in Lifestyle, and Paola Fernandes in social media content, enriching the magazine’s pages even further.
