Wallpaper*’s Guest Editor issue is here again and it looks mighty fine. The way I see it, October is the new September for Wallpaper* with its grand, print technology-challenging covers like these. Last year’s guest editors were Zaha Hadid, Rei Kawakubo and Louis Bourgeois. This year, Wallpaper* October is guest edited by
Karl Lagerfeld:
Peel the first layer and voila! Baptiste Giabiconi, Karl’s boytoy latest muse in his birthday suit.
Phillipe Starck:
Starck’s cover features three overlapping tracing (?) papers illustrating the idea of evolution.
As some of you know, I got last year’s October issue. And obvs, I loved it. This year, I’m not 101% sure if I’ll gettit or not. You know, with all the stuff I have to buy and pay, hehehe. But we’ll see—chances are, as soon as I enter the store and see this issue live, I might go blind, hahahaha. Oh, hai! Huge hole in my pocket is that you?
Yay! So far, the best issue. AND best cover, ever. Yet. Creative, hi-tech, and forward-thinking without relying on overtly hi-tech thingamajigs. I'll let the pictures speak for itself.
Nay! If there's one, let me just say some pages are starting to fall off. But there's probably nothing glue can't fix, no? hehe
I say... This magazine is the reason why I am 1: happy, very happy 2: broke, very broke.
I blog about the things that make my heart go doki-doki: magazines, books, art, design, photography, typography, fashion, architecture, drawing, music, food, places, films, people, and other random things.
