About Hudson Valley Style Magazine

Hudson Valley Style Magazine documents beauty in all its forms — landscape, food, creativity, identity, design, culture, connection, and the ongoing pursuit of a meaningful life.

Founded by artist, photographer, and publisher Maxwell Alexander, the magazine explores travel, wellness, nature, style, food, mental health, design, and contemporary culture through the lens of visual storytelling. What began as a regional lifestyle publication has evolved into an ongoing exploration of how people create beauty, purpose, and belonging for themselves and their communities.

The Hudson Valley serves as both our subject and our inspiration. The Hudson River did not stop at Manhattan — it made Manhattan. New York City sits at the river's mouth, and in that sense, the Hudson Valley does not end at the city's edge; it flows into it, beneath it, through it. The same current that carved these mountains and fed these towns is the current that built the harbor, the commerce, the culture. That argument runs deeper than geography — we explore it at length in The Future of Lifestyle Journalism Lives Far From Midtown.

Across mountain trails, historic estates, small towns, design-forward retreats, independent businesses, wellness destinations, farms, forests, and creative spaces, Hudson Valley Style Magazine documents the region as both a place and a state of mind. Our photography-driven approach blends fine art, journalism, personal reflection, and cultural observation into stories that explore both the external journey and the interior experience of being human.

As an LGBTQ+-owned publication, we hold that beauty belongs to everyone. Diversity brings balance to ecosystems, resilience to communities, and depth to culture. Our work regularly explores identity, self-expression, emotional well-being, relationships, creativity, and contemporary life alongside traditional lifestyle coverage. Readers may arrive searching for a weekend escape, a restaurant recommendation, a hiking trail, or a wellness retreat — and find themselves inside a larger conversation about how people live, connect, heal, and grow.

Hudson Valley Style Magazine is the flagship publication of Alluvion Media and the editorial center of the Alluvion family of brands. Content throughout the publication frequently features Alluvion products, services, properties, and partnerships alongside editorial coverage of the broader Hudson Valley community.
