In a sinking and saturated world of indy publishing, he says f***k it I'm gonna make some money and not bother dealing with dramatic art directors and fashioninstas.. im just gonna reprint the best of the season, so WE (the consumer) don't have to buy 10 different over priced magazines... we just get DISTILL instead. Well done. Christopher Lockwood is a genius!!

I bought it, but left feeling disappointed. To be honest I think this magazine is rather pointless as it is simply a collage of bits of other mags. Hmm..

Probably still going to buy it though! This looks dreadful, the sample spreads look like a college project. Probably still going to buy it though!

Its website is just a banner, and the rest of the internet has little to offer. What I would like to know is where on earth (or, more specifically, the south of the USA) I can find this magazine!

You beat me to it (as usual)! :) I'm finding the concept pretty weird. It's a magazine about curating stuff from other magazines and unlike permanent food... http://www.shift.jp.org/en/archives/2004/06/permanent_food.html ...there's articles about why they've selected what... see, weird. If the goal is to provide snippets of all the best stuff from all the best mags in one cheap and easy to read package (kind of like a paper version of Google Reader for fashion geeks) then I would agree, it could do better. They would need to cast a much much wider net for Distill to be useful in this way. What I'd like to see is Distill featured in a magazine that reviews other magazines. It could be called the Magazine Review Magazine. They would have to review themselves on a regular basis too, just to complete the circle. Then we'll really start to distil the magazine format down to it's most basic essence. :) Hey. You beat me to it (as usual)! :)
