If you’ve never checked out The Manzine – if you’re a Stack Magazine subscriber, it was the light pink issue about “the male phenomenon” – you really ought to! It’s tough to get your hands on a copy without a subscription, but their website is quite a fun read. Their “Yeah” and “Nah” lists will always provide laughs, and occasionally, a great tip! Thanks to The Manzine, I came across the redesigned Rouleur, complete with new paper stock and page size.
I haven’t gotten my hands on a copy yet, but the nineteenth issue of Rouleur, published in July of 2010, includes: 148 pages of racing photography taken in Britain, an interview with living legend Bernard Hinault, the second part of a Rouleur series on the life of a young aspiring rider, as well as images (the cover is spectacular!) from world-renowned photographer Nadav Kander. Besides Kander, the photography in this issue was taken by Gerard Brown, Taz Darling, Ben Ingham and Nadav Kander.

Something about Stefano Tonchi taking over as Editor-in-Chief of W in July – he used to be Editor of the very prestigious T: The New York Times Style Magazine – is working. He brought Terry Richardson back after a 14-year W ban, for starters!
The September issue debuts a new W logo and full front-to-back redesign, as well as a triple gatefold cover shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, which features eight up-and-coming actresses: Kat Dennings, Jessica Chastain, Yaya DaCosta, Greta Gerwig, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Roberts and Zoë Kravitz.
It’s no secret that the Condé Nast fashion title has been suffering on the stands. Does Tonchi have the golden touch?
Here are some highlights of Tonchi’s interview with WWD, in today’s issue:
WWD: Do you feel like the magazine is more general interest?
S.T.: It’s more about fashion in the context of contemporary culture, and that’s really the definition that I like to use. At the end, everything we look at is in the key of style, and that’s why I defined the content of the magazine as the who, the what, the where, the when, the why in the world of style.
WWD: What other specific changes have you made?
S.T.: Starting from the new logo and typefaces throughout the magazine, and we also really completely changed the structure of the front of the book, which is now organized in departments. The departments are the five Ws, and they are all very rich in information from different areas — the world of entertainment, music, youth culture and contemporary art and design and architecture — all things that are part of what is fashionable today. The ‘whos’ are the people that you want to know about this month. We have a story on [Kazuyo] Sejima, the architect who is the director of the Venice Architecture Biennale, which opens on the 26th of August. In the section “when,” we have all the best things to do in September. It’s five pages, and you go from a show in Minneapolis, a release of a new record by Ryuichi Sakamoto to a fair about food, an exhibition of the designer Marc Newson or another exhibition of John Pawson to a book about Island Records to an exhibition about Yul Brynner.
WWD: When the old guard left W, some people wondered if the magazine’s biggest photographers, such as Bruce Weber or Paolo Roversi, would leave, too.
S.T.: Paolo Roversi had a fantastic story in the August issue and wants to work for the magazine, so he will again. Steven Klein — we have not had a project for him right now, but we may have a good project for him. Juergen Teller — we’re going to work with him again in November, I think. But in this issue, we have some of the photographers who have been identified with W recently, and at the same time we brought in some new people like Tim Walker.
WWD: When will the makeover be complete?
S.T.: Probably in six or eight months the readers and the audience will have a more clear idea of the magazine and where it’s going. We also have to see how people react to it, how the media community reacts, hearing from the readers, how the newsstand does, how the advertising community judges the magazine and how even Condé Nast, as a company, reacts to the magazine. So far, what they saw, they were incredibly happy with it.

As the creative director of the edgy, world renowned fashion label 55DSL (and son of iconic Diesel founder Renzo Rosso) it’s no surprise that Andrea Rosso has excellent taste in, well, almost everything.

Rosso IS 55DSL, and this MYMAG will give you an insider view of just exactly what that means.

The artists formerly known as Pearl Harbor are young, blonde, and kind of killing it. Mermaid haired sisters Piper and Skyler make soft, slow music perfect for summer (and fall, winter, and spring). If sleepy, nostalgic lo-fi is up your alley, then you’ll love About the Chapparals the band’s debut EP, released on Mexican Summer last year. A modern twist on Brian and Dennis Wilson, these girls are the California Girls of Beach Boys yore, except now they’re the ones making the music too.
You can check them out HERE and on tour this summer with Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti.

Vice Magazine‘s annual photo show starts July 22, and this year they’ve chosen Jerry Hsu, professional skateboarder and amateur internet wizard, to show a selection of his work. If you like pictures of people eating alone and graffiti inspired by The Hills, this is the show for you. Or if you just like really good photography. The show is presented by Scion and curated by Hsu and Jesse Pearson, and runs through July 28.
There are magazines, and then there are coffee table magazines. Sure we all read publications that reassure us that celebrities really ARE just like us and provide us with tips on how to get a beach body in four days (ok, maybe just me), but we do not arrange them on our coffee tables like so many Faberge eggs. Here is a list of ten magazines worthy of coffee table prominence.
1. Purple
2. Ten
3. AnOther
4. Visionaire
6. POP
7. Arkitip
8. Monocle
9. Interview
10. i-D Magazine
Last night PETA and Last Chance For Animals gathered at the Staples Center to protest the opening of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, and they were joined by MYMAG Tastemaker Olivia Munn. Munn is an ardent animal rights supporter, and specifically has been involved in rallying people against the abuse of elephants in the circus. If you want to get involved, you can write a letter to your local newspaper via this PETA website. Help Olivia save the elephants!
There are still a few copies of Olivia’s MYMAG left HERE, grab one before they’re all gone!
