The much anticipated Garage Magazine will release its first issue for Fall/Winter 2011. Named after the art space that founder Dasha Zhukova opened in 2008 in Moscow, nobody really knows what to expect from the fashion/art magazine, yet expectations are certainly high. The art director of German 032c magazine is also the new art director of Garage magazine and the three covers for the first issue, only hint at the high profile talent that the magazine managed to bring together for its first issue.

Artist Dinos Chapman worked with photographer Nick Knight, Hedi Slimane photographed a naked model (Shauna Taylor) having a Damien Hirst butterfly tattoo on her crotch, which is covered by a removable Damien Hirst butterfly sticker on the cover. And last but not least Richard Prince also created an artwork for the a third cover. A launch of the magazine is expected during New York Fashion Week 2011, early September.

On May 22nd “Louis Vuitton: A Passion for Creation” will open its doors at the Hong Kong Museum of Art. To celebrate the event, the facade of the museum has been wrapped with the “After Dark” series by artist Richard Prince, who has already worked with Louis Vuitton on several other projects. Facing the Victoria Harbour of Hong Kong, this is one of the very first public art installations in Hong Kong.

The “After Dark” series consists of blown-up novels that Richard Prince has gathered. The illustrate protagonists’ stories of “After Dark” or after midnight in different cities around the world. Each second city is Hong Kong. Certainly an impressive and eye catching piece, that should result in a lot of people passing by the Louis Vuitton exhibition, which is open until August 9th.

Here a little preview of a FUCT x Zozotown collaboration as well as a new design that is part of their Fall 2007 collection.
The Raglan of the Zozo collaboration is a custom body with a vintage wash and screen print, for a softer feel. The design is that of the mystic Grigori Rasputin, with the Zozo logo being that of mystical black magic enthusiast, Jimmy Page (Led Zepp) with the even more mystical BRUNETTI in the “O” of of the word “TOWN”.
The bunny skull design is similar to a Richard Prince design from the 80’s. We could not see a better fit for FUCT.
