A different sort of Sunday paper-reading...

A nice STRONG cup of tea, some marmite on toast and a perfectly soft boiled egg and a leisurely read of the papers.  Only, it's the Spring Summer 2008 Acne Paper I'm reading.  I must say that label-produced magazines can be iffy territory.  Where does the advertorial end and the editorial begin...  However, if you're a regular Acne Paper reader, it's a completely different kettle of fish, packed full of rich content and somehow hard to get hold of in the UK despite a long list of stockists.  You can buy it online but I picked mine up for free in Hyeres.  I mean there are some hefty and arraying reads here... Howard Shore's music scores for LOTR, a profile on German actor Udo Kier, an article dedicated to tea, more accusations of 'exoticising' Africans by British colonialists/imperialists in an interview with Helen Mears and a wicked article by Nicola Formichetti about his journey in fashion.... never mind the first cuppa, you could easily get through three or four cups reading the whole thing. 

Fashion photography wise, 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?' (a title bearing not that much relevance to the photos but nonetheless has a nice rin...) photographed by Anthony Maule and styled by Marie Chaix has got me all excited all over again about SS08 Givenchy giant rivets, a fantastic Philip Treacy hat that doesn't seem to want to end and again that Acne caged skirt that has still eluded me (please...does this item actually exist in Stockholm?)...
