Garage #2 Spring / Summer 2012

[TREVOFASHIONISTO]

nymag.com/daily/fashion

The cover of Garage magazine's second issue features a dapper gay couple, Harry the Hare and Frederick the Fox, who are apparently expecting a baby. Titled "A Very Modern Tale: Harry the Hare Is Expecting," a very pregnant Harry wears Jil Sander while a Prada-clad Frederick proffers a bouquet designed by Missoni. Because who needs models when you can have furry woodland creatures with a baby bump? In her editor's letter, Dasha Zhukova explains:
We have a completely new social landscape that expands Norman Rockwell’s picturesque mid-century nuclear family into multiple-option domestic scenes: two moms, two dads, biological parent, birth parent, single parent, surrogate parent, egg donor, sperm donor. Men and women still marry, just not always one another. Gay couples have children. Exes and futures live together. It’s not new, it’s just neater ... Today we are living the rainbow: all tribes are merging; everything has evolved.
If only these modern times included a catfish-riding octopus.

At first i thought it was Beatrix Potters 'Peter Rabbit' .

 

[mistress_f]

thats... random. anyway i loved the first issue so im definitely getting this one (well, i need to see the contents but my hopes are up, regardless of the cover)

 

[justaguy]

^Random's right!

 

[MulletProof]

Don't know what this is about but I'm looking forward to see the contents , I loved Dasha's work for Pop, as pretentious as it may have seemed for some, she had a sharper and more ambitious approach to fashion than many people that pretend to produce it while bragging about experience and humor (and yes I'm talking about Katie Grand). Hope this is as great as her previous stuff.

GARAGE SS12. Issue 2. Homo Weddings??

So we’ve all seen the cover now and we know it’s got a pregnant hare and a scene of cutest cute matrimony, but looking beyond simply the bulging belly, some interesting points are made by Dasha in creating this menagerie.


Vogue Italia said it first and I’m totally riding on heir bandwagon here (http://www.vogue.it/en/people-are-t...f-the-day/2012/02/garage-magazine-gay-wedding), but to me anyway (as a gay guy in a relationship), it comes packed with a pro-homo punch. It’s a very topical point to make in the wake of prop 8 being declared unconstitutional and it's on the cover of a global magazine. Personally, I know that I want to get married and I certainly want the option to be able to . .and why shouldn’t I? I am only another human being like any other, I am no special or different to a person who is into the opposite sex. This is at least a question that the cover asks. It has an opinion, which is a rare thing in any fashion publication. .


I want to see whats beyond the cover, as much as I want to be able to see myself at the end of the aisle and I shouldn’t have to want for this to be legal any longer . .


Anyway . .rant over. . .does anybody else have any thoughts on this?
Let's see how the content lives up to this!

I love it...I got to give Dasha props. I loved every issue of her POP reign and Garage was not a disappointment. She knows how to get the right people...well, she knows how to buy the right people.

Editorial design by Meire and Meire (who did amazingly). The theme of the issue doesn't really blow me away, though... kind of lukewarm.

 

[tentalicious]

here is a quick review, no Meisel's feature as rumor has it and as people said here in Italy : 'Una bella fregatura ...'

- Valerie van der Graaf by Mat Collishaw
- Edita Vilkeviciute by Patrick Demarchelier
- Olga Sherer, Alexa Yudina, and Annabelle Tsaboukas by Pinar Yolacan
- Nairoby Matos, Jeneil Williams, Cora Emmanuel, and Ataui Deng by Elle Muliarchyk
- Anais Mali‎, Valerija Kelava, Bonnie Chen, and Emily Baker by Sharif Hamza
- Alana Zimmer by Sofia Sanchez & Mauro Mongiello
- Micro Fiche by Manuela Pavesi

oh yes and there's a condom inside (not meant for use because it's a 'piece of art' )

This magazine seems very interesting. Dasha and Shala are very good editors, but I might just have to buy this issue to fully decide weather I actually like it or not. The review makes it sound like it'd be worth a try, though... Thanks for Edita's photos, tarsha!

 

[blueorchid]

I think I might consider getting this for Edita's editorial alone and I completely ignored the last issue.

 

[Greenway]

This looks so interesting, what is the price range for it?

 

[mistress_f]

8.50 pound for the uk (says the cover)

I got the issue yesterday, i love it. I can't help but loving this mag, it's terribly pretentious but it's visually stunning and it actually has a lot of interesting content.

 

[jmrmartinho]

i saw it today but i went for Pop cause it was more eye catching!
mistress_f why do you say it is pretentious?

 

[vogue28]

I think I might consider getting this for Edita's editorial alone

Me too, until I noticed the £8.50 attached to the magazine.

It's a forgettable publication, I have to remind myself why Dasha's attending the shows.

The editorial above is nothing but repetitive pseudo-art. Edita's editorial looks good, though. Love her dymanic eyes.
