Renaissance Magazine is a bi-annual fashion magazine as well as a web center. It was founded in 1993 by Michael Bugeja and ceased publication in 2002 when its parent company, IMAGE Publishing, went out of business. Its tagline was "The Most Popular Magazine in America". It was published in Chicago by Renaissance Media Group, a subsidiary of Image Entertainment. The last editor was Michael Bugeja. Its focus was on popular culture and entertainment, with special attention to music, movies, and television. The magazine had a total circulation of approximately 1 million copies per issue. It was sold through newsstands, specialty stores, and via direct sales to consumers online. Image Entertainment filed for bankruptcy protection on March 28, 2003. As part of the bankruptcy process, all of its media properties were acquired by private equity firm General Motors Corp.'s investment division General Motors Capital (GMC). After the acquisition, Image began publishing magazines under the Modern Maturity and Redbook brands. However, due to low sales, both titles were cancelled within a year of acquisition.
