Photographs like that above always make me wonder: Is there such a thing as universal sexual appeal? What I mean is, I’m pretty sure every heterosexual male who sees the above photo gets a special stirring of the loins, even if they’re 95 and haven’t felt a stirring since the Reagan era. And I’ll pretty […]

You know we’re fans of the avant garde Visionaire Magazine, who always push themselves to evolve the format to the next level. Most of their work is so future-forward that the term “magazine” is a disservice, like Issue 57 (consisting of an electric calender with 365 different curated images) that we covered a couple months […]

Following the success of their Oliver Spencer winter shirt range, Monocle has developed a summer version. It’s in the same classic Oxford design, limited to 60 shirts in each color — blue gingham or fine blue stripe. I’m personally feeling the gingham, but I just love that pattern.

Matt Revelli, Editor of Juxtapoz and head man for Upper Playground has […]

We’re admitted magazine fiends over here at LIAS, and it’s with great sadness that we’ve watched many of our favorite titles submerge in the last year (RIP Swindle, BPM, Portfolio, … but good riddance, Blender). That’s why we’re pretty stoked to see the launch of Fixé Magazine, a French publication focusing on the rise of […]
