BERLIN TEXTILES

It’s the last two days you can dig into the Berlin takeover at Everpress, a charming sort-of-like Kickstarter start-up for T-shirts from London. The idea is based on a similar principle: you can upload any design you want to see printed on a T, rally your friends and the rest of the world into ordering [...]

ALTERNATIVES IN PRINT: COS MAGAZINE

It feels a little strange to feature the in-house magazine of COS – itself a subsidiary of fast fashion behemoth H&M, an identity that is neatly hidden behind COS’s cozy Swedish home brand image – as alternative in print. But then again, it does very much stand out against the plethora of branded titles that [...]

ALTERNATIVES IN PRINT: BUFFALO ZINE

In the spirit of Buffalo Zine, let’s hijack a quote by magCulture that describes it perfectly: ‘Thank god for Buffalo Zine, a magazine hanging around at the back of the classroom, chewing gum and planning another night on the laughing gas.’ A fashion magazine of sorts that, refresehingly, doesn’t take itself all too seriously, which [...]

MONO.KLUB #51: FATIMA AL QADIRI / LONDON

Dear Friends,
last week’s launch of our new issue mono.kultur #43, featuring Kuwaiti producer and artist Fatima Al Qadiri, was so nice that we have to do it all again, this time in London. We will bring her series Bored 1997 to the walls of impossibly hip gallery space KK Outlet on Hoxton Square for two [...]

THE MODERN MAGAZINE 2016

We’re thrilled to be speaking about our humble adventure in publishing at this week’s conference The Modern Magazine, organised by our friends at magCulture, among a fine line-up of esteemed editors and designers at titles large and small, including The New York Times Magazine, Zeit Magazin or The Gentlewoman, among others. If you didn’t manage [...]

TATE & SWITCH

Tomorrow will see the public opening of the new annex to the ever-growing Tate Modern, named Switch House, extending the already vast space of the Tate by another 60%. Of course it looks splendid, built as it is by the Tate’s longterm collaborators Herzog & de Meuron, and for those of us who can’t go [...]

MONO.KULTUR #40: EDMUND DE WAAL

Dear Friends,
we’re not quite sure what happened with that last year, and if anybody has seen it, please let us know. In the meantime, we are proud to return from our involuntary hiatus with a splendid new issue – mono.kultur #40, no less – with the wonderful British ceramicist, artist and writer Edmund de Waal.
Edmund [...]

STORE OF THE MONTH: MAGCULTURE / LONDON

For someone as passionate about magazines as Jeremy Leslie of magCulture, our favourite blog on printed matter, we guess it was only a question of when rather than if he would ever open the doors to his very own magazine store. The answer is now, as magCulture the store opened its doors last week to [...]

HOME AS A GIANT NOTEBOOK

Did you know that Florence Welch is influenced a lot by legendary painter Frida Kahlo and even has a section dedicated to the artist?
