Caught Andrew at the SPAO open house 5th anniversary celebration event on Friday. What I loved most about his outfit was that it was simple and well put together – Fred Perry shirt, WeSC jeans, no idea where the shoes are from but they are my favourite part of the outfit.
I heard about this magazine last month but did not get the opportunity to post anything about it. I got another email telling me to check out their October issue and I did.
The two ladies who are behind this (Ashley and Justyna) are very nice and seem to be on the right track. They also answer emails, that’s a plus as many people don’t and this is not a good sign. They are on time with their material and are networking well. Ashley and Justyna also managed to come up with a great name for their magazine.
I scanned through the content and I am quite fond of it. The photo shoots get better every issue and I am sure this magazine will eventually be a really cool online concept. The magazine also has a lot of material and it’s stuff I actually want to read about because it is sticking to local and national coverage.
Usually, online magazines are difficult to navigate but this Z Mag is easy to go through, making the online browsing quite simple. Check out their latest issue at http://viewer.zmags.com/showmag.php?mid=wqhfdq&preview=1&_x=1#/page0/
Make sure to also take a look at their blog for more information about The Dinner Jacket.
My only advice is to make the text a little more legible when it’s on a darker background (page 14, 53, 60-61) and to use different models. I would also like to see more work with local talent in terms of stylists, fashion photographers and designers (feel free to contact me for some resources).
Good luck ladies!
Showcards (a.k.a. showpackages).
Some agencies outdid themselves with some fantastic showcards (a.k.a. showpackages) this season and after searching through some of them, I stumbled on the very beautiful Mariya Markina from Nathalie Agency in Paris. The showcards resembled the new faces section of agency websites (I love that) because it captures models in their natural state (i.e. limited hair and make-up). The photographer brings out Mariya’s natural and feminine look. This beautiful Ukrainian is no stranger to looking very androgynous at times, which I adore.
This girl is just really hot. And the fact that she’s getting ready for some Vincent Gallo is even hotter, even if the guy is a complete sexist ass. Looks like Terry Richardson should have called this “ode to The Brown Bunny minus Chloe Sevigny.”

A cool and very “L.A.” photoshoot – someone called Brian Lichtenberg the “new” Vivienne Westwood. He’s a good designer but Westwood comparison? That’s pushing it.
This guy is the definition of androgyny
