Meet Calandria L. Parker: Founder of LUSH Magazine
LUSH Magazine covers the intersection of culture, lifestyle, and fashion — through original reporting, editorial features, and text-only covers, published on lushmag.online and in print.
Owner & Founder
Calandria L. Parker founded LUSH Magazine in 2017, bringing over 15 years of business experience to the relaunch in January 2025. She has built working relationships with PR firms including Philly PR Girl, Michelle Maire PR (New York), PRShots, and Porcha PR — partnerships that have connected LUSH with brands like Gucci, PUMA, Nike, Adidas, ERDEM, Calvin Klein, H&M, Kenneth Cole, Lamborghini, Porsche, and Jade Trau x The 1916 Company.
Her Philosophy: “Never Stop Building”
Calandria approaches LUSH with a mindset of continuous growth — forging new partnerships, expanding coverage, and building out the brand issue by issue.
