Mag Hunter

It is exciting when you come across a new publication. These days the Internet is pervasive; so it’s not often we find a special print connection. Here are four magazines you should get to know.

A semi-annual fashion – zine, Garmento is produced and printed in New York and features contemporary and past fashion. Striping back the layers of the fashion world and delving in-depth, posing questions such as what more there is than just the garments themselves? If you’re in need of a Garmento fix between issues then take a peek at the blog via their website for images and collections plucked from the fashion archives. (www.garmentozine.com/)

PIN-UP is not your standard architecture mag; PIN-UP focuses more on the 'spirituality' of architecture, rather than the technical side. 'PIN-UP', a term used in architecture school, is when you pin up your work before the final presentation; now you see it all and can edit and make the final changes. PIN-UP is about innovative ideas and the work in progress. In each issue you can share the works in progress, through interviews with architects, designers and artists, it takes you on a tour of buildings and spaces, encouraging the unusual and unconventional. Dressed with innovative photography and artwork, PIN-UP is certainly one to know. (http://www.pinupmagazine.org/)

Each issue of A Magazine carefully hand picks a fashion designer or fashion house to curate the issue. The chosen designer shares their own creative experience, their thoughts, their processes of creative development and their aesthetic. In the latest issue A Magazine showcases L.A sister duo Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte. We enter their world of whimsy and romance; a love letter to their home state. Rodarde take us on this personal-professional journey through the photography, art and interviews. Our favourite highlight: an editorial of actress Elle Fanning wearing the 2012 S/S collection shot by Bill Owens In Santa Fe. A must have issue for the coffee table.
