FQM — Publisher, Mission & Where We Stand
Who is behind FQM
- The magazine was founded by Isabelle Karamooz, who serves as Publisher & CEO. (Read more HERE). She brings a unique blend of cultural insight and media vision.
- Originally from Versailles, France, Isabelle lives in Las Vegas and maintains close ties to the French‑American cultural sphere. Her background includes teaching French at US institutions (UNLV, CSN)—a foundation for FQM’s mission of cultural exchange and bridging French and American heritage.
What FQM stands for
- FQM positions itself as an international lifestyle and culture magazine, focusing on the art of living well—through culture, design, travel, gastronomy, business, entrepreneurship, fashion, art, history, and lifestyle.
- The name and identity draw inspiration from the concept of a “French Quarter”—not limited to a geographic location, but as a cultural emblem: a crossroads of heritage, art, refinement, and global exchange.
- FQM aims to build meaningful bridges across continents: offering content that resonates globally—from Europe to North America to beyond. Its base is Las Vegas (with a second editorial presence in Washington, D.C.), yet its ambition is international reach and cultural connectivity.
Recognition & Ranking
- In 2023, FQM was selected by Feedspot as France’s 10th‑Best Magazine—a significant accolade given the number of French‑culture and lifestyle publications worldwide. The ranking was based on metrics such as relevance, content freshness, engagement, domain authority, and longevity.
- In 2025, FQM maintained or improved that standing—in its “Best 20 France Magazines 2025” ranking, FQM is listed among leading French‑culture publications such as those more established in Europe, reinforcing its credibility and influence.
What FQM Offers Through Its Platform
- A wide editorial scope: from culture, arts, exhibitions, music, film, books, history to lifestyle, homes, travel, food, fashion, wellness, business, interviews, spotlight features, and more. This variety appeals to a diverse audience interested in refined living, global culture, art, travel and entrepreneurship.
- A comprehensive digital presence: weekly updates, a dynamic website that invites readers to explore content across many categories, and subscription options (digital + print).
