April's
Stack delivery was a bit of a struggle for me. The magazing was
PYLOT, which is "a bi-annual, all-analogue, fashion and
photography magazine". This statement actualy comes from their
website though, the magazine itself doesn't really tell you what it's
about. When asked what I was reading my description was "a
fashion magazine for people who want you to know that they're too
cool for fashion", a description that I stand by.
The
mixture of fashion, art and photography is interesting – it
includes interviews with cosmetics company founder Bobbi Brown and photographer Arthur Tress – and it has
a policy of not digitally retouching models. Still, it all comes
across as very considered and manufactured rather than conveying any
real enthusiasm for its subject matter. Also all of the clothes are
hideous, but I don't really read high-end fashion magazines so maybe
that's normal.
Would
I buy it again?
No. It's not smart enough to be interesting and the clothes aren't
pretty enough for someone with no interest in fashion.
