Really, really looking forward to this (Plus I'd love to be able to contribute an article down the line once I've got a few more pieces elsewhere under my belt).
"Lots of people who think they are into fashion are actually just into shopping"
TheThief's post should be the prologue of the first issue, or parts of it. A lot of truth in this about the worth of something you can touch, and as an old music magazine collector I know what I am talking about, and the nonsense that is just modern, but not an improvement of life. I am eagerly awaiting this now. And nice to have some well known members involved in this.
Фауст, это просто профессиональное любопытство) буду ждать с нетерпением появления на свет первого выпуска)
По поводу айпадов: в их нынешнем воплощении - согласен, fuck ipads, следующее поколение, скорее всего, расположит к себе намного сильнее.)
TheThief, yes, I'm understand you and E. pretty good, have same feelings about vintage mags and books, sure that next generations 'll feel it about SZmag)
I hope (as I type on a laptop and read a .pdf on the side) that print will always reign supreme.
I still have some old Purple Fashion volumes from the late 90s with shoots of Margiela's "oversized" collection - a beaut. Had I not the physical object to drag around with me as I moved around the country, I surely would have forgotten about those editorials. (Ah - an idea: scan those shoots for the Margiela thread.)
Those fashion articles are something I *cannot* wait to read.

seriously! I've even (unfortunately) minimized my sz reading due to the fact that I find staring at a screen rather tiresome. I look forward to the opportunity to collect the new magazine in its moment. I have a feeling the editorials will be rather epic...not to mention, obviously, the articles. Faust I hope you are, or at least will be, writing some of them. This magazine is a great idea and destined to be nothing but the best!
So, I guess after all this time I should stop being so aloof and, under orders of the comandante, introduce myself.
My name's Daniel and I'm Faust's co-publisher and Managing Editor. I know some of you outside of the forums and hope to meet many more.
I like long walks on West Broadway, coffees at Ground Support and Julius leathers....
Damn.. I'm shocked. Really great to hear and I can't wait to see the physical product!
Will this be funded / semi-funded by ad space? Will it be produced in limited quantities like the designers we adore? When is the launch party? Please give a good notice.
Coming next month.. high-res HOF issue!

Yes, I am! :-)
Peasant, the SZ 5 year anniversary party IS the launch party!
We might also have launch parties in London, Paris, Tokyo and L.A. - still mulling over some options.

That's good news ! I'd love to come to the launch party if you make one in Paris or London and meet you all ! (I would even more love to come to the launch party in Tokyo, LA or New York but it would be a little more complicated )
I trust the parties will be legendary, and the magazine fascinating.
