STORE OF THE MONTH: FAMILY / LOS ANGELES

Tuesday, January 10, 2012

Since we have that arch-American of all genres – comics, as exemplified by Chris Ware – on our cover these days, we thought we should introduce one of our first and most loyal stores in the US this month, with the nice name of Family, which is the place to go to if you’re after [...]

MONDAY MUSIC: KAREN O, TRENT REZNOR & ATTICUS ROSS

Monday, January 9, 2012

Never change a winning team, David Fincher must have thought, when he invited our third cover star Trent Reznor, with Atticus Ross, to pen the soundtrack for his inevitable adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, after winning the Oscar for best soundtrack with Social Network.

A few weeks back, we asked Kim Hiorthøy, Oslo & Berlin dweller, late blooming electronic musician & MPC wizard, shape shifting renaissance man, prolific graphic designer (for Rune Grammofon et al.), director, artist (who might want to see this in quotes) and art world defier, author, and self-proclaimed amateur for life, to redesign a cheesy [...]

THE WORLD ACCORDING TO CHRIS WARE

Friday, January 6, 2012

When we asked our current cover star Chris Ware to send us a self-portrait, this is what he sent – including his wife and daughter. And an intriguing list of references that sadly didn’t make it into the issue, so we thought we should share them here.

IRANIAN ROSES

Thursday, January 5, 2012

We mentioned Port magazine before, and with its last three issues, it has matured into one of the best titles on style and life that combines writing of the highest quality with a great and sophisitcated design. So we were all the happier when they got excited about a reportage we did years ago in [...]

195 Yachts, Barges, Cargo Lines, Tankers and Other Ships

120 Stadiums
