‘It’s not always clear why but sometimes a particular magazine just gets to you. There’s something at its core that speaks to something at yours. For me right now, that’s FatBoy Zine…’ Danielle relishes the fourth issue of the ‘greedy attempt to document Asian food and identity’.

For our latest ‘It’s this one thing’ post, Danielle takes a look at a magazine addressing that most vital of niches, climate change. Icarus Complex is a smartly designed magazine that takes a serious look at its subject, drilling into the complexity of the climate crisis and offering practical solutions.

The City is Ours is possibly the most perfect subject yet for our ‘It’s this one thing’ strand. The nicher-than-niche concern of this launch issue—the first in a series of six encouraging street-level curiosity—is the chewed-up-and-uncermoniously-spat-out chewing gum that adds chance pattern to our cities.

 

‘Though I adore music, spend a significant amount of time carefully compiling playlists, and have enthusiastically jumped back into live gigs post(?)-pandemic—I don’t often find myself reading music magazines,’ writes shop manager Danielle Mustarde.
