Industrie
Industrie Magazine — Issue 01 from Saturday on Vimeo.
Industrie is the first and only media title dedicated to presenting an independent, in-depth look at the fashion industry, going behind the scenes to chronicle the personalities, stories and defining moments in the world of fashion.
Founded in 2009 by Erik Torstensson and Jens Grede, of the Saturday-group, Industrie aims to shift focus away from current collections and trends and provide a considered insight into the culture of fashion. Industrie documents the individuals who influence fashion and critically examines the ideas which shape it.
Industrie is published twice a year, distributed internationally by Comag and updated continually on industriemagazine.com

The second issue of Inventory magazine includes features and stories from around the world.

Among other things, the latest offering features Margaret Howell, Beams, New Balance, Unis, White Mountaineering, Wm. J. Mills & Co. and The Real McCoy’s.
Inventory Magazine
Inventory Magazine is the new project from Ryan Willms, founder of the discontinued and highly rated h(y)r collective online magazine. Inventory will also exist as on online magazine, but a hard copy will be available too. With a strong influence from Japan, their first issue takes a look at the people behind Yuketen, Nigel Cabourn and Engineered Garments which thrive overseas and are now becoming just as popular in the western world. Editorial features include a look at our favourite parkas for winter and Nom de Guerre’s fall collection.
apartamento 4
Taking a completely new approach in the interior design magazine market, apartamento features real people in real environments, with interiors we can all aspire to rather than over-styled, over-glossy, catalogue-like spreads. The 4th issue is now available in all good magazine stores, and in our opinion is definitely worth picking up.
31 Rue Cambon
We’re excited to learn of the first issue of the new Chanel magazine art directed and designed by Purple’s Olivier Zahm. Named 31 Rue Cambon after the first ever Chanel boutique, it will be distributed worldwide in all of their stores soon.
Kinokuniya
Since 1981, Kinokuniya, the hip Japanese bookstore chain, has served New York’s Japanese-language readers from its outlet at Rockefeller Center with it’s impressive stock of imported Japanese paperbacks, latest issues of hard-to-find magazines, DVDs (such as the animated films of Hayao Miyazaki - Spirited Away) and CDs. Now the company has decided that Japanese is no longer the center of its universe. It’s new store overlooking Bryant Park will house a majority of English-language titles in an effort to expand their audience. But Japanophiles fear not: The new three-storey store, one of nine Kinokuniyas in the United States, is stocked with plenty of Japanese-language novels, fashion magazines and a huge manga (comic) collection in both Japanese and English. The old store will close at the end of the year.
