Viva was a magazine for women that celebrated female sexuality  and was published by Penthouse from 1973 to 1980. Varying from highly romanticised, emmanuelle-esque editorials tailored to women’s fantasies to in depth articles examining the female orgasm and erotic literature, the magazine excelled in delivering the desires of women to a wider public. For a short time Anna Wintour was the fashion editor who often roped in Helmut Newton to photograph for them. You can look through copies of VFILES here.

On Friday the 1st of March the Fashion History and Theory pathway of Central Saint Martins will take over the British Library.

Exploring the rich source of fashion inspiration that the library owns, the evening will exhibit just how exciting and informing the libraries collections are to fashion and design enthusiasts.

The event will take place from 7.30 -10.30pm and will be filled with various events taking place throughout the night.

The iconic Princess Julia and Jeffrey Hinton will be DJing,

There will be a selection of in conversation talks taking place with the likes of Blitz magazine editor Iain R Webb and fashion historian Cally Blackman

The wonderful antiquarian book sellers November Books will be selling a range of their fantastic books and magazines,

Dusty O will be at the door

Specially created cocktails have been made taken directly from recipes from old issues of Vogue,

A fashion life drawing class will take place with Matty Bovan and James Buck,

A catwalk will take place showing specially commissioned  designs from Saint Martins students

There will be an exhibition showing inspiring and rare fashion magazine covers (which I have been co-curating) with the likes of Rags, Wet, i-D, Big Magazine,  Avant Garde and Sang Bleu on show. Below are a few of covers that will be on display;

And a LOT more events such as a photo booth, other market stalls, make-up make overs and MORE!

Our dear friend, fabulous tattooist & shaman Jondix is featured in the new issue of Tattoo Artist Magazine. I guess the insanity of the cover he designed says it all.
