If you like fashion –not the usual catwalk or high street one but fashion that questions, provokes and makes you think, i’d also recommend Fashion Projects, edited by Francesca Granata. The current issue features interviews and portraits of Cat Chow and Susan Cianciolo, Simon Periton, Despina Papadopoulos (founding member of the design collective Studio 5050), Show Studio, etc.

There’s also an essay about the use of clothes by European protest movements, in particular the Italian collective Serpica Naro whose spoof fashion show managed to gain entrance into the official Milanese fashion calendar last year. The magazine is a good read, devoid of any ad and incredibly cheap.
