This magazine is a goddamn brick. It’s like an ordinary publication that’s been locked up and force-fed by hungry witches, only the witches are actually Adam Bryce and James Oliver, aka Slam X Hype, and they’ve stuffed their snack-to-be with very carefully chosen fattening agents indeed.
Clumsy metaphors aside, what we’re getting at is that this is no half-arsed "are we fashion or are we art?" mag. This is the real deal: a comprehensive look at some of the most creatively influential people on the planet, put together by some of the most talented writers, editors and photographers on the planet. And it’s stacked – page after page of interviews, shoots and opinion with only the tiniest smattering of ads.**Issue 02, Pop Portayal, includes interviews with Takashi Murakami, Ron English, Kate Moross, Dmote, iO, KAWS and UNDFTD, to name just a few. Pick up a copy and strap on your bib – it’s time to feast.
