In the heart of Times Square, where bright lights meet even brighter energy, something refreshingly analog took center stage. On Friday, March 13, Trading Pages hosted VOL.003 at the Times Square EDITION, turning the sleek venue into a love letter to print, culture, and the women who’ve shaped it all. MadameNoire’s Managing Editor Danica Daniel was on the scene for the festivities.
In honor of Women’s History Month, VOL.003 — held in partnership with Team Epiphany, LOBOS and Complex — brought attendees back into the nostalgia and history of print magazines from across decades, with an interactive gallery, marketplace, and cultural time capsule. Think vintage magazine covers, rare issues dating back to 1979, and a visual tribute to icons like Nina Simone, Janet Jackson, Diana Ross, Michelle Obama, and Beyoncé. It wasn’t just about looking, it was about feeling the legacy.

At its core, the night reinforced Trading Pages’ mission: celebrating how print media has shaped identity, storytelling, and community, while reminding us that some stories just hit different on paper.
