Entropy Parade by Brian Kenny and Slava Mogutin

Entropy is disorder; entropy is randomness; entropy is what’s lost in translation; entropy is the inevitable and constant deterioration of society. Reflection of the latter can be found in SUPERM‘s collaborative portfolio called Entropy Parade. Slava Moguitn and Brian Kenny created the series of distorted images / multilayer drawings for the 13th anniversary issue of FLAUNT magazine. After I got

Printed Matters #2: Death

Forrest Martin has more than a strange name (for my understanding of names, at least) to him. He is the mastermind behind Death magazine – a publication for existential hipsters, art enthusiasts and other culture obsessed homos. Forrest approached me earlier this year and sent me a couple of magazines over to Berlin. I was impressed and immediately wanted to

Alternative Advent by David Wilson

I don’t really like Christmas. having said that, I know I just lost half of your attention but let me clarify that and defend my thesis. Actually, in my defense I have one question: Is the end of the world coming? I guess I am not the only holiday pessimist. I guess, some of the winter wonderland occupants put more

The Day The World Went Away

There is only one description for Pierre Debusschere‘s work: epic. His latest fashion films, The Lake and The Day The World Went Away (as well as the project for Nowness and  AnOther Man) are just another confirmation of this fact. Mr. Debusschere ignites a chain reaction of goosebumps allover my body with the combination of striking visuals and sound that

L.A. by Dior

First the hype, and now the fashion film. In this case, the hype was worth it. Dior invited director James Cameron Mitchell to direct Marion Cotillard in this video which captures the L.A. culture in a funny and ironic way. A comedy drama with a cinematic feel that has embedded the clothes organically – without putting them in the main

Slava Mogutin: ULTRAVIOLETS

Photography: Slava Mogutin You’d say that I’m over-obsessing with the mint green color placement on the new Grateful Grapefruit. In my defense I can say, that it’s all a lucky coincidence. Just like the fact that the opening image of Slava Mogutin‘s Ultraviolets fashion editorial for Flaunt Magazine (US) is deep-died in mint green. The Men’s Fall Fashion Issue

Printed Matters #1: meat

Guess what – print still does matter. You can make an awesome online publication, but you won’t get further with it. Print has definitely not the same value it had at its peak. Thus, it has a different position now. Buying print magazines is luxury; owning and collecting them has turned to a lifestyle not everyone can afford. I remember
