IQONS Magazine in Magazine Numero 44 april - may

Dear Shaded Viewers,

I opened my mailbox today and found the latest issue of Magazine. I always appreciate Magazine and was just paging through it when I came upon an article on Iqons Magazine.

Angelo Cirimele is the Editor in Chief of Magazine which is dedicated to analyzing magazines, art, literature and culture. His critic made me smile including the last line about Sebastian as a most appropriate sponsor for the first issue.

Thank you Angelo.

Gary Card in AnOther Man Issue 6-Photography by William Selden and Styling my Nicola Formichetti

Dear SHaded Viewers,

We met at the Dover Street Market around Christmas, he had done the windows, I loved them. If you go into my archives for last December you will find some of his earlier work. I was really happy when I saw this wicked spread on him in the current issue of AnOther Man.

Zoo Magazine wins Golden Lead Award 2008 for Portrait Photography of the Year

Dear Shaded Viewers,

Zoo Magazine wins Golden LeadAward 2008 for Portrait Photography of the Year

At the 16th annual LeadAwards ceremony held in Hamburg, Germany on March 5th, international style title Zoo Magazine was honored with a Golden LeadAward for its photo shoot of Hollywood actor John Malkovich. Featured in Zoo No. 13, and photographed by Vicki Russell, the striking spread won first prize in the Portrait Photography of the Year category. The prize marks the fourth LeadAward that Zoo has received for its quality fashion shoots.

Authority
Established in 1992, the LeadAwards is the most influential and authoritative recognition of talent in Germany’s media, advertising and marketing industries. Nominees are pre-selected by the LeadAwards team before being presented to a prominent jury of A-list photographers from Germany’s top magazines including Bild, Der Spiegel, Stern and Vogue.

The world’s best photographers
Zoo Magazine first appeared in 2003, and has been published quarterly since 2004. Published jointly by renowned musician/photographer Bryan Adams and Sandor Lubbe – best known for publishing Dutch (1994-2002) – Zoo features the work of some of the world’s top photographers, including Steven Klein, David LaChapelle, Terry Richardson, Hedi Slimane, Karl Lagerfeld and Nobuyoshi Araki. The subjects they have covered have been equally famous: Venus Williams, Madonna, Morrissey, Mickey Rourke, Courtney Love, Dustin Hoffman, Emmanuelle Seigner, Lindsay Lohan and Amy Winehouse, to name a few.

Cinematic blueprint
The current issue of Zoo Magazine, launched during the 58th Berlin International Film Festival, is the follow-up to last year’s special Cinema Issue, which featured the award-winning John Malkovich shoot. The latest edition, a blueprint of today’s cinematic avant-garde with references to today’s best fashion movers and makers, features some of the world’s most exciting cinematic personalities such as Nina Hoss, Sandra Hüller, Diane Kruger, Clémence Poésy, Franka Potente, Oskar Roehler, Omar Sharif and Christian Slater. Each photo shoot is accompanied by exclusive, in-depth interviews. Also in this edition are interviews with veteran filmmaker Michael Haneke and French novelist/director Michel Houellebecq. The next issue of Zoo will focus on music, and will be released in May. It will include shoots with Mick Jagger, Cat Power and Billy Idol.

Le Monde and internet advertising

Dear Shaded Viewers,

My friend, David Herman from Standard sent me this article he found in Le Monde about the 56% rise in internet advertising in 2007. I don't know how your French is but basically it says that based on a survey that there are twice as many advertisers on internet than on tv. It says that even though it is early to predict what will happen in 2008, it does not look like the trend for advertising on the internet is likely to change.

En 2007, le nombre d'annonceurs publicitaires sur Internet a progressé de 56%

Les marques se bousculent pour communiquer sur Internet. Signe de vitalité de ce média, en France, le nombre d'annonceurs a dépassé les 3 300 en 2007. Soit une progression de 56 % par rapport à 2006. C'est l'un des enseignements de l'étude TNS Media Intelligence présentée conjointement par l'IAB (Interactive Advertising Bureau) et le SRI (Syndicat des régies Internet), mardi 12 février.

"Il y a deux fois plus d'annonceurs sur Internet qu'en télévision", précise Jérôme de la Briffe, président de l'IAB. Le moindre coût d'une campagne publicitaire sur le Web – le rapport est de un à cinq – explique en partie ce différentiel. Mais le coût n'est pas le seul critère. "Parmi les 100 plus gros annonceurs français, 99 sont désormais présents sur Internet. Ce média s'ancre dans le marché publicitaire", affirme Eric Trousset, directeur marketing de TNS Media Intelligence.
Tous les secteurs ont rallié le mouvement. "Y compris le luxe même si cela ne représente qu'une faible part de son budget publicitaire", souligne M.Trousset. La sophistication des formats avec le développement de la vidéo favorise l'arrivée d'acteurs soucieux de leur image.

TNS Media Intelligence cite aussi, parmi les autres secteurs dont les investissements sur le Web ont progressé en 2007, la distribution et la grande consommation avec, notamment, les produits d'hygiène et de beauté. A l'inverse, les budgets des pionniers du Web comme les opérateurs de télécommunications ou les voyagistes montrent des signes de stabilisation.

"CONVERGENCE"

Globalement, TNS chiffre la progression des investissements sur Internet à 34,5 % en 2007 avec un total estimé à 2,76 milliards d'euros. Une croissance qui a contribué pour une bonne part à la dynamique d'ensemble du marché publicitaire hexagonal, alors que la radio, la presse, l'affichage et les grandes chaînes hertziennes marquaient le pas.

Toutefois, ces indicateurs sont en données brutes – ils ne prennent pas en compte les taux de remise aux annonceurs, souvent conséquents. De plus, ils ne mesurent pas les investissements consentis par les marques pour être référencées par les moteurs de recherche, les fameux liens sponsorisés, un filon exploité surtout par Google.

C'est d'ailleurs la réticence de l'américain, leader mondial de la publicité sur le Web, à collaborer avec les autres acteurs du marché français qui rend difficile la publication de chiffres nets. "Les investissements nets sur Internet sont compris entre 1,3 et 1,5milliard d'euros, en progression de 35 %", estime Xavier Guillon, directeur de la société d'études France Pub.

Et pour 2008 ? "Même s'il est difficile de juger sur le seul mois de janvier, je ne vois pas de retournement de tendance", affirme Luc Tran-Thang, président du SRI. Mais les chantiers ne manquent pas pour conforter la place d'Internet sur le marché publicitaire. "Nous devons industrialiser ce média et améliorer la mesure d'audience", précise M. Tran-Thang. Pour M. de la Briffe : "Avec la télévision sur le Web, l'Internet mobile, les podcasts, l'heure est à la convergence. Les formats publicitaires devront s'adapter".

AnOther Magazine/Uma cover and opening for Matt Irwin

Dear Shaded Viewers,

I just received an advance copy of AnOther Magazine with the beautiful Uma on the cover.

UMA by Craig McDean

I especially liked the article and images on Angelica Houston and the work of Swiss artist Urs Fischer titled Gavin Brown's You or the resurrection and the grave.

If you are going to be in London next week you might want to rsvp for Matt Irwin's opening. I love his quote about the eternal truth.

Yagos from Crawford Magazine in Thessaloniki

Dear Shaded Viewers,

Yagos from Crawford Magazine, Thessaloniki and David TV

While I was in Stockholm I received a request for an interview from a new magazine in Thessaloniki. David TV was taking the photo and Yagos did the interview. I met David TV about 7 years ago through a friend so I thought it would be nice to see him again. They suggested the bar at the Pont Royal Hotel on rue Montalember in the 7eme because it was quiet and inviting and indeed it was.

commons&sense new website is launched today

Dear Shaded Viewers,

I am a big fan of commons&sense magazine and have been waiting for their new website to be up, today it was launched.

A message from the editor in chief:

The commons&sense website has finally been launched!

We made the design of our site quite simple and easy to read with loads of content (and more to come!). As editor in chief, I, Kaoru Sasaki, will be posting blog entries and photos, which will (hopefully) be updated everyday!!! (it's an extremely difficult task, but I will do my best.)

Who knows how our website will turn out? ...however, I do feel that there is a lot of possibilities in this format. We want to explore all the things which we cannot do in the magazines!!!

Hope you all enjoy it!

Another Magazine got a face lift

Dear Shaded Viewers,

Another Magazine got a facelift and the new look is working. THe new typeface is great but you will have to buy the magazine to see that. Here is a montage of a preview from the new issue. These two images don't go together, by the way.

There were articles on lots of people that I like: Paulo Melim Andersson, the creative director of Chloe giving his thoughts on polar bears, Andre Walker looking backwards and forwards on fashion and inspiration and Florian Ladstaette with his great accessories. Inner Visions by Inez Van Lamsweerde & Vindoodh Matadin gave us portraits of Flora Cross, Isabella Rossellini, Parker Posey, etc. etc.

On the left are the co-founders of encens: Samuel Drira and Sybille Walter

encens is a magazine dedicated to independence and creation. encens is passionate and personal and supportive of those that speak with their own voices and sign their work with their own handwriting.

The magazine celebrated it's 5th year with Paper from Reims and for that they invited a small group of fashion people to an Ancient Jesuites College in Reims. The magazine supported the people that they hold in high esteem with installations and interesting articles: Hermes, Munoz Vrandecic, Kate Moran, Maison Martin Margiela, Rick Owens, Marcelline Delbecq and Benoit Delbecq, Fabrics Interseason and Claude Rutault....

Magazine - Summer issue

Dear Shaded Viewers,

Do you read French? If so, I suggest you start picking up Magazine. Some of the articles are in English, all are insightful and refreshing. You will get an insiders honest view of the publishing world and beyond. I don't see the website but here is the contact: magazinemagazine@gmail.com

I liked the opening editorial, in part," 2 things. the wealth of a man does not reside in his fortune or in his collection but in his intuition."

The cover story looks like it was shot in the most amazing park, I want to go there. It is called Planter Wald and somewhere in Berlin, any German Shaded Viewers know how far this is from the center of Berlin and how I might get there? I will be in Berlin for You Wear it Well on the 13th July.

Magazine offers unbiased comments about other magazines. Is intelligently written but very real.

Pin - UP - the magazine for Architectural Entertainment

Dear Shaded Viewers,

It's not every day that you come across a magazine on architecture and entertainment. The last issue I read had the most interesting article on Rick Owens, the man and his space. This current issue I really enjoyed the article writen by Horacio Silva on Ettore Sottsass, Hanging on the telephone with the design world's grandmaster of flash. The title alone is intriguing. Another highlight was the piece on the Swiss artist, Boris Rebetez that alters our perception of space, one collage at a time. Those are just a few, many more to inspire and enlighten you and the images are breathtaking. The first issue of PIN-UP came out in late October 2006.

032c/Berlin Energy Experimentation

A) 032c, 13TH ISSUE "ENERGY EXPERIMENTATION", SUMMER 2007

""The most anticipated release for the summer has also proved to be the
most surprising one: 032c magazine, already an established leader in
design and known for its elegant minimalism, has brought in Cologne-
based art director Mike Meiré (brand eins, Kid's Wear, BMW, Dornbracht)
for its 13th issue. The provocative outcome has ushered in a break from
the norm with an "anti-feuilleton design," as Meiré and editor Joerg Koch
have called it. This is a bold move from the German magazine, which has
inspired a number of imitators in recent years. [...] With fashion designer
Hedi Slimane, industrial designer Konstantin Grcic and Vanity Fair's
Todd Eberle on board, 032c's list of contributors is distinct in its diversity.[...]"

Dear Shaded Viewers,

I wanted to meet Theo Paijmans, the editor in chief of Blend magazine before leaving Amsterdam. We were talking and I discovered that he had written a book in the end of the 90's called "Free Energy Pioneer". There is a Japanese pirated edition of his book and if any shaded viewers in Japan could find the edition and send it to him, it would be great. Of course he will reimburse the sender for the postage and purchase of the book. He just would like to have it. You can contact Theo theo@blend.nl. In the future Theo will become the new book editor for ashadedviewonfashion.com.

Later for that and thanks if you can help him find his book.
