ABOUT HAUTE
Haute Magazine is the University of Southern California’s art, culture, and lifestyle publication.
Each semester, our team of student writers, photographers, designers, videographers, and marketers come together to create a groundbreaking issue that amplifies student voices and redefines what student-led publishing can be.
Built on the values of uncensored creativity, diversity, and community, Haute blends sophistication with innovation to set a new standard for student publishing. Through this vision, Haute has established itself as a disruptor in digital media. The magazine has earned over 960,000 worldwide views and was recognized by the Associated Collegiate Press as a 2024 Design of the Year finalist.
Founded by Diana Fonte (‘21) and Jason Cerin (‘21), Haute draws upon the creative genius of USC’s student body, striving year after year to sew our story into the fabric of Los Angeles culture, national culture, and even global culture. Student works are featured alongside some of the biggest names in the media industry including Rihanna, Billie Eilish, FKA twigs, Grimes, Cardi B, The Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar, and more. By fusing the creative genius of USC’s very own student body with that of industry leaders, Haute claims its position as the herald of a new wave of student-led publishing.
