With bold graphics, classroom humor, and editorial-level visuals, COOL introduced its sections like a syllabus for the stylish and culturally curious.

Enter our anchors: Christian Bootle of Monarq and Eugene Reggio of Mercator, top models who looked like they walked off a runway and straight into the media room. Imagine if your campus newscasters were 6-foot-something, editorial-ready, and capable of reporting cultural trends and making you gasp at the same time. That’s the vibe.

The premiere offered a rapid-fire tour of COOL’s signature sections: from STAR SECTION, its main feature spotlight, to N.E.R.D, VARSITY, BURN BOOK, FIELD TRIP, BEAUTY, and FASHION — positioning the magazine as the new hub of youth culture, creativity, and everyday cool.
