Founded by James Oliver (best known for his involvement in launching and developing street-culture site SLAMXHYPE) The New Order aspires to ‘seamlessly bridge the gaps found between the most established high-end brands, discreet yet gifted and stimulating projects, and offerings from the world’s most innovative and modernist forces of creativity.’
Issue #36 is themed ‘Closer’, featuring Dutch former footballer Ryan Babel, who made his debut as a striker with Ajax in 2004, breakdancer Izaak Brandt, artist Kaumichi Maruoka, woodwork duo ‘Noteworks’, plus a philosophical profile of shoe brand Hender Scheme. You’ll also find a pleasing taxonomy of the brand’s products, pleasingly organised into a colour coordinated grid.
Cover stars for this issue include Billy Menezes, Gino Iannucci, and Hender Scheme.
