THE FACE 4 EVER

This is my favourite The Face-cover of all times! I am not sure why but I just love the energy and the freshness of the girls. It is the august 1999 issue. I did not like The Face at the end, but the old ones are great. I am planning on reading old The Face this summer, so I need to get them up from the basement. I like!

CHUCKS BACK ALREADY?

Just loving this photoshoot from my favourite mag Cover. But hey, are chuck taylors back already? I actually do not care that much, cause I think the shoes always looks fresh even though I have been tired of them for the last couple of years. This photoshoot looks like it is five years old, so it feels kind of illegal cause it breaks the 10 year rule of trend cirkles. Love the stockings as well, I bought some earlier this autumn and it fits in just perfect. I like!

FEATURED IN FLUX MAGAZINE!

A couple of weeks ago I was asked to contribute on a blog feature in Flux Magazine.
Got the issue yesterday in the mail and I am so proud and happy! Unfortunately they do not sell the mag in Bergen (maybe norway?), but I have scanned it for you!

NEW LOOK

Tokion used to be one of my favourite mags a couple of years ago, but lately I have not bought it cause it got a bit boring. Until now. New format, layout and somewhat a new profile that includes more fashion than earlier (suits me) and of course music, art, design and creative stuff. Their website is good too! I like!

TOMORROW

Svenske Cederteg Publishing står bak utgivelsen av Harold, eit slags motehefte (best beskrive) langt frå det tradisjonelle motemagasin. Harold er gratis og ligger rundt omkring på dei beste butikkane i verda, eg fekk mitt eksemplar på Black Market i Stockholm. Dette nummeret har bla stor Q & A med Ann-Sofie Back (ho virkar ganske sær).

Swedish Cederteg Publishing released "Harold" earlier this year. It is somekind of a fashion mag, very low fi and maybe even more like a palmflat. It is for free and you can get it at the best fashion shops around the world. This issue features for instance a Q & A with Ann-Sofie Back (she seems weird).

MR AND MRS WINTER

Juni-juli-august nummeret av WAD er blant anna dedikert it-couple Pedro (aka Busy P) og Nadege Winter. Han er kjent som manager til Daft Punk og mannen bak labelet Ed Banger. Nadege er Miss PR på Colette (i tillegg til å vere kona og soulmate til the man). Klubbing, Ed Banger og miljø er andre tema i bladet.

The latest issue of WAD is dedicated to it-couple Pedro (aka Busy P) and Nadege Winter. He is the manager of Daft Punk and the man behind Ed Banger. Nadege is Miss PR at Colette and of course the wife to the man. Clubbing, Ed Banger and environment are other topics in the mag.

BUTT BOOK

The iconic and gay magazine BUTT has its five year anniversary and celebrates by putting out the BUTT BOOK. The book cointains a selection of interviews, pictures and conversations with Marc Jacobs, Hedi Slimane and Terry Richardson to name a few. For more go to www.taschen.com

MAGAZINE JUNKIE, MOI?

The big clean up! I (and my boyfriend) have been collecting mags for over a decade.
Here are some vintage i-D, Elle, Vogue, Dazed & Confused, Dutch, Sleaze Nation and The Face.
I think this is 1/3 of all our stored mags (or actually maybe less).

MAGAZINE REVIEW. SORT OF

Modette




Plastique


Har lest gjennom to nye motemagasin denne veka, svenske Modette og engelske Plastique.
For å ta Modette først. Bladet er ganske kommerst og kjem ikkje med dei store nyheitene (c-neeon, House Of Holland er ting som vi har høyrt om før), motesjef er Kicki Berg (ho frå MTV, hugsar du? eg synes alltid at ho verka litt foney) og moteseriane synes eg kanskje er det aller svakaste i bladet (kor interessant er det å sjå ein bikiniserie med alle (metallik)variantane frå American Apparel?).
Så kjem rosen. Eg likte veldig godt intervjuet med Chloé Sevigny (ikkje akkurat daglegdags) og eg likte den redaksjonelle profilen på bladet (mange referansar til internett, spesielt bloggarar. For meg ein moderne måte å lage blad på i 2007, om du utforskar nettet vidare på eiga hand vil Modette ha gitt deg mykje meir enn eit "vanleg" moteblad.
Litt meir cutting egde er Plastique. Dei presenterar mindre kjente merker, er backstage på couture-visningane og har superglossy moteseriar (kvaliteten på bilda er høg). Typisk art møter fashion.
Nokre få intervju (for eksempel med Amanda Lepore), men her er det mote som er førsteprioritet.
Om eg skal samanlikne vil eg sei at Modette minner om Eurowoman og Nylon, medan Plastique liknar litt på POP og kanskje Numéro.

Have been reading two new magazines this week, swedish Modette and english Plastique.
Modette is quite commersial and does not have much news to come with. Fashion editor is Kicki Berg (from MTV, I always thought she was a bit foney) and I think the fashion spreads are the weakest link here (not interesting to see all the metallic beachwear from Ameriacn Apparel presented in one serie).
What I liked about it was the editorial profile, which I thought was very modern. They had lots of referances to the internett and especially bloggers, and if you investigae on the net yourself, Modette gives you lot more than a "regular" magazine. I also liked the interview with Chloé Sevigny.
A bit more cutting egde is Plastique. The present new brands that is not so common, has features on the couture-shows and has superglossy photospread. Typically art meets fashion. A few interviews (for instance with Amanda Lepore), but fashion has first priority.
I will compare Modette with danish magazine Eurowoman and perhaps Nylon, and Plastique with POP or maybe Numéro.

COVER TRICKS

Fin vri på å pynte opp sko. Bruk sterke fargar! Du kan også snøre skoa dine med silkeband. Nice!

Good shoe trick in Cover. Use strong colours! You can also tie your shoes with laces in silk. Nice!


Pictures from Cover.

SPEAKING OF....

Bjørk prydar coveret på siste i-D slik ho har gjort fem gangar før.
Sjå alle covera på i-D si heimeside her. Og forresten, nokon som er i tvil om at fargar er "in"?

Bjork is on the cover for the latest i-D issue, as she has been five times before. See all the covers at i-D ´s homepage here.
And btw, any doubt about the strong colour trend?

REVENGE OF THE NERDS

Nerdelooken rular! Cover likar nerds, det gjer eg også (kanskje fordi eg er ein sjølv!). Det australske merket Romance Was Born har både nerdelook, 90s look, trash look og neon look med i kolleksjonen.
Sjekk det ut! I like!

The nerdy look rules! Danish magazine Cover like nerds and so do I (maybe because I am one myself!). Australian brand Romance Was Born has nerdy look, 90s look, trash look and neon look in their collection.
Check it out! I like!

NEW MAGAZINE!

Mitt hjerte går i spinn når eg ser nye moteblad som i tillegg er bra. Vs. er dansk, men er skrive på engelsk og faktisk er eit par saker oversatt til norsk. Ikkje dårlig! Ei god blanding av fine bilder, aktuelle reportasjar (eksempel Klaxons versus Justice, Martin Margiela intervju og noko så sjeldant som intelligente moteartiklar) og looken er litt street, litt egdy, litt arty: akkurat slik vi vil ha det (og som ei herlig motvekt til dei poshy og overfladiske moteblada vi har her i Norge).
Vs. kjøpte eg på Narvesen på Torgallmenningen til 110 kr, litt dyrt, men så er bladet i større format enn vanleg og kjem berre ut to gangar i året (trur eg!). Ei investering vel verdt!

I love fashion mags and especially i it is a new and good one. Vs. is danish, but is written in english. A good mix of fashion and culture with articles like Klaxons versus Justice, Martin Margiela-interview and something as rare as intelligent fashion articles. The look is a bit street, a bit egdy, a bit arty: just the way we like it!
Vs. costed 110 kr wich is quite expensive, but it comes in a large format and is only published twice a year (I think!), so it is definently worth your money!
