nice for whoever's on the covers of this KAWS July 2008 issue knockoff but I'm boycotting this one

This magazine used to be so, so, good… I remember here in Brazil, it was so expansive but when you finally got one, even a past issue, that look so modern and edge and wow. Now it says nothing to me at All

^same, it was the coolest magazine of the 00s despite their thing for T*rry Richardson, even a back issue from 2008 would have better covers (and certainly better editorials) than this and that's without considering anything else

This magazine makes me feel old, because I was so happy to buy it in the 90s, and even then, there was a sense that you'd missed out on something exciting because you hadn't been there for the 80s issues.

What I miss most about ye olden days of magazines was having a 'varied diet' of different titles - you could leave the shop with a copy of French Photo, Vogue Italia, Mademoiselle and Raygun.

Quoting myself, because it was driving me mad that there was an i-D related book out in the 90s about magazine design, but I couldn't remember its name - Catching The Moment by Terry Jones - and you can see some of the contents here: https://bookernest.com/items/659f5a9df55a3002e550261f

I used to go into the bookstore and flick through it, but somehow never bought it.

I think Terry has released lots of books about the magazine and his work, but that's the one I really remember.

Somehow I knew when I read the title “Great Britons” that there would be no white people featured.

^I'll go one up and point out - 0 Asians of any kind either. And this is a UK-based publication.

Love Alex Wek's cover. Her pose and facial expression are great. She's got the cool girl look. Also, the color palette is so beautiful.
