Twin magazine from Lula co-founder Becky Smith. A stunningly bound hard cover book format, definitely not your run-of-the-mill throwaway mag.Smith says:
I’m a big magazine nut, I’ve collected everything for years...my flat is covered from floor to ceiling with magazines. (Sounds like me.) I thought about what I would want now as a fan. I want to move away from the mass marketed bog standard mag and create something that feels more unique and special. The 250 unique covers were expensive to produce but to have something that no one else has that is hand numbered – hopefully this feels special. It is the personalised touch which is very anti-magazine in a way.
This issue features a revealing interview with Sir Peter Blake (the English artist who did the cover to Sergeant Pepper’s not the Kiwi sailor who was killed by pirates), The Selby shoots the holiday house of New Yorkers Dan Martensen and Shannon Click and there’s a poetry portfolio curated by poet laureate Carol Ann Duffy and writing by Miranda July.
With all the dreamy imagery that made Lula the cult classic, as well as work from a whole host of new contributors...so what’s not to like?
