Unlike typical fashion magazines oriented toward teenage readers, Kiki emphasizes creative self-expression over glamour and beauty. It makes a point of avoiding common topics of celebrity gossip, romance, and trends; instead, it contains features such as interviews with students and professional designers, tips on managing money, and articles on fashion in world cultures. It also contains space for girls to write and draw directly on the magazine’s pages, encouraging reader interaction. The magazine’s tagline, “For girls with style and substance,” underscores its approach to fashion as a reflection of personal identity.
