THE ULTIMATE FANZINE

Normally, we are the ones behind the camera, so it’s kind of strange to have those roles reversed, as happened recently when ‘Germany’s best-kept fashion secret’ Frank Leder – not so secret if you have been following mono.kultur from the early days – returned the favour and proposed a meeting with us for Mercedes-Benz’ culture [...]

INTRODUCING MR WARE

Since it’s all about Japan these days at the office, we thought we should share the introduction to our current issue with our friends on the island – since we’ve been including a Japanese insert with our issues sold in Japan through Utrecht for quite some time now. We don’t know how to say it [...]

MONO.POSITION #04: DIARIES

Dear Friends,
our first project in 2012 is kind of an unusual one for us, but then again, we feel it’s about time – all too often we get asked about all these ‘other mono’s’: What is mono.graphie? And really, you run a fashion label? Well yes, kind of. Truth is: Our publisher, Kai von Rabenau, [...]

5000 in Likes

Facebook, the international bank of bonding, has recently evaluated the trust and fondness index of mono.kultur to be more than ‘5000 likes’. As there is no 5000 bill of the new currency, yet, we thought we could still enjoy some 5000s.
THANK YOU!
…let’s keep liking.

THE WORLD ACCORDING TO CHRIS WARE

2011 VS 2012

Dear Friends,
thank you for the beautiful last mono.klub of 2011 yesterday. We look forward to doing it all again in 2012, and in the meantime wish you an exciting and successful new year. Thank you for your continuous support and making us want to keep producing another four issues of our little adventure in print [...]

MONO.KLUB #37: CHRIS WARE

Dear Friends,
it’s been 2.5 years – and this is the moment where you are allowed to sigh, has it really been that long and doesn’t time fly? Well, yes, we think with 2012 in sight, we can safely say it does and every year a little faster – anyway, it’s been 2.5 years since we [...]

MONO.KULTUR #30: CHRIS WARE

Dear Friends,
yes, we made a promise, and we hold to it: Two days before Christmas Eve, we proudly announce our new winter issue, our first winter issue to appear before Christmas since 2005, in fact, featuring the wonderful Chris Ware. Who is Chris Ware, you ask?
We’ll get to that in a minute, but before we [...]
