Instead of leading their readers as all other fashion magazines of the day were doing, Rags did something that had never been tried before, they held up a mirror to their readers and showed them what was really happening in the world of fashion and style. Within the pages of \u003cem\u003eRags,\u003c\/em\u003e you would find diverse features from fashion and style, to literature, music, fine-art photography... pop culture, tattoo culture, lesbian style, dandy style, fashion of the clergy, prison rodeo clown style, street fashion, and features on individuals such as Jimi Hendrix, Ed Ruscha, Kurt Vonnegut, Janis Joplin, Imogen Cunningham, The Cockettes, Holly Woodlawn, Betsey Johnson, Robert Crumb and so much more!
