FILM PREMIERE
FANTASTIC SPIN #1 IN PRADA

TWELVE SEPTEMBER, TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN

An exciting video series graces the DAILY RECOMMENDATIONS this week care of the Dutch artist duo LERNERT & SANDER, who, on a sunny day in London filmed in super slow motion two professional figure skaters spinning in the newest autumn fashions. Each video grants a spectacular 360° view on a spectacular athlete wearing a spectacular look. Today’s film features LAWRENCE EVANS, a runner-up for the 2014 Winter Olympics, performing an upright catch-foot spin in a sparkling v-neck jumper and T-shirt by Prada, with leggings by PAMELA MANN. Please come back tomorrow, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for more film amazingness.

BUTTONED UP

BOOK

What excitement! Out now is Buttoned-Up, a pocket book edited by Fantastic Man for the venerable house of Penguin. The paperback’s 112 pages explore the curious fashion phenomenon of young men in east London buttoning up their shirts all the way to the top. Is it a secret code? Or, perhaps, a rite of passage? The book contains essays, reportages, photographs and an entertaining interview with the notoriously buttoned-up NEIL TENNANT of the PET SHOP BOYS. The title is part of a series of 12 books celebrating the 150th anniversary of the London Underground, that practical public-transport system of great renown, and is available from all good bookshops and via Penguin’s website. Visitors to the latter can expect to receive a discount of 30 per cent on the already affordable cover price of £4.99. To make use of said discount, please enter the word “tube” upon checkout.

NEW
SEVENTEEN

SPRING & SUMMER 2013

The 17th issue of Fantastic Man, for the Spring & Summer 2013 season, sees the popular artist Mr. JEREMY DELLER on the cover. The 46-year-old pop-culture enthusiast, who will represent the nation of Great Britain at the upcoming Venice Biennale, discusses his infatuation with the MANIC STREET PREACHERS and his genuine awe at being able to get away with what he does. JEREMY is, of course, joined by six equally spectacular men: the fabulously flexible ballet dancer Mr. ROBERTO BOLLE; the rigorous stylist Mr. JOE McKENNA; the sensible food activist Mr. MICHAEL POLLAN; the fashion designer and luxury specialist Mr. TOMAS MAIER; and Messrs. NACHO ALEGRE and OMAR SOSA, the Barcelona-based duo behind interiors magazine Apartamento. This issue of Fantastic Man also sees a trip to the streets of Tokyo where a fashionable mix of modernity with tradition is explored. It’s a fresh-faced issue filled with delightfully trifling ideas, sunny fashions and investigations into painfully relevant matters. Order now
