Document Journal #1 Fall 2012 : Liya Kebede by Collier Schorr

[tentalicious]

Artist Francesco Vezzoli and photographer Collier Schorr have created separate covers for the debut issue of Document, a new semiannual fashion, art and culture magazine that launches in September. Founded by editorial director and publisher Nick Vogelson and creative and fashion director James Valeri, the New York-based title has lined up a cluster of influential contributors for its 208-page first issue, including Jeff Burton, Jack Pierson, David Armstrong, Paul Wetherell, Maripol, Vince Aletti, Justin Bond, architect Charles Renfro and Scissor Sisters singer Jake Shears. Schorr snapped model Liya Kebede for one cover and Vezzoli created an artwork of his mother for another. A third cover will feature a celebrity, said Vogelson, who was previously the creative director of Out magazine and is a founder of Townhouse Creative, a graphic design and art direction agency.


Italy’s Damiani Editore will print 20,000 copies of Document, which will be distributed to newsstands and bookstores by Distributed Art Publishers. The title will have a cover price of $16 and about 15 percent of the pages will be devoted to advertising. A launch party for Document is slated for Sept. 6 on Fashion’s Night Out at Bookmarc, the West Village bookstore operated by Marc Jacobs. Artist Rachel Feinstein and interior designer Ricky Clifton have signed on to create a window installation for the event.

The masthead looks like the one from "The Last Magazine"

 

[Srdjan]

I don't like it at all.

 

[gossiping]

well i like the cover at least!

 

[Psylocke]

It may not be the best and most eye catching cover but close up shots of Liya will never fail. This woman is flawless all-around. I like that leather collar, too.
Excited to see some of the contents though it looks like it will be a while until we get to see more from this issue!

 

[MulletProof]

Not even Liya can save this for me.. it's as bland as the entire layout, and of course "Document". Oh what a purist, you.

Thankfully it seems all the energy was put into gathering excellent artists (Wetherell, Armstrong, Aletti) so unlike The Last Magazine (hopefully the last of its kind), this looks like it might be worth opening and actually buying.

 

[Bertrando3]

it looks exactly like 'Industrie' magazine to me. Is Liya wearing Alexander Wang?

 

[Urban Stylin]

Liya almost saves it but the tittle Document just sounds so boring

models.com presents an exclusive preview: Document Journal
NYFW brings with it the launch of Document Journal, an ambitious NYC fashion and culture glossy with a global perspective. Focusing on a singular ideal the magazine aims for “a blending of viewpoints with a variety of aesthetics and backgrounds that share a similar fascination: Beauty.”

“We wanted to “Document” aesthetics in this moment in history, allowing people to sit down and enjoy different aspects of life on paper. Something collectible but not consumeristic, an intimate moment in this hectic life to discover, and be inspired by, things our readers are attracted to but not necessarily informed about. We wanted to create something inspirational for different kinds of people with a variety of aesthetics and backgrounds with a similar attraction: beauty. All of this with a point of view, current and nostalgic but also forward-looking.” —James Valeri, Creative & Fashion Director

“People are ready for a new approach. Everything about Document will be different. It’s a wide-ranging platform for art, portraiture, men’s and women’s fashion, both looking forward and cognizant of the past. Document moves easily between luxury and popular culture and is astute, unexpected, minimal, and timeless.” —Nick Vogelson, Editorial Director & Publisher

Boasting 200+ pages of art, fashion, and cultural content from renowned and up-and-coming names in the visual arts, fashion, film and literature, Document raises the bar for September issues. The curated content selection features a variety of contributors – top photographers; Collier Schorr, Jeff Burton, Jack Pierson, David Armstrong, Paul Wetherell, Benjamin Alexander Huseby, Maripol, Catherine Servel, Sofia & Mauro, and Miguel Reveriego, A-List editors Sabina Schreder (Purple, i-D, AnOther), Samuel François (Numéro), Jodie Barnes (Fantastic Man) and of course top models like Liya Kebede, Eniko Mihalik, Bette Franke and Hanne Gaby Odiele, who takes on styling duties in a special story.

[BonesAndOil]

I personally love the cover. Clean, minimal, sharp. I hope I can find this here

 

[Naen]

Very much an aimless start with the art direction; it recalls, to say the least, Industrie, Intermision and the likes of... It's a pity coz content obviously has something to offer, shame they didn't take more risk. I'm craving for some radicality when it comes to design nowadays, mags take it for granted, and this one is full of potential.

However. Woohoo at Adrien's ed , that all black/leather shot is of haunting allure!

 

[justaguy]

Loving No. 98, just beautiful.
