First there was Dazed, then The Face, and Pop. After Pop came Love with Condé Nast, and then, ever enterprising, Katie Grand moved on again to create her very own magazine. And its pages are just as rich, colourful and star-laden as you’d expect—both in front of and behind the camera.
Issue #9.5 of Grand’s uber-stylish Perfect is an XL limited edition Asap Rocky zine, featuring bold, colourful photography by Rafael Pavarotti and an in-depth interview with Rocky about his many creative endeavours—from his work as a musician and founder of the creative agency and brand AWGE, to his role as creative director of Ray-Ban, and, more recently, his burgeoning acting career. Despite his hugely successful poly-hyphenate career to date, he’s still striving for more. ‘It’s not really about who did it first. It’s about who did it best’ he tells Amber Slater—as he focuses on building a legacy that lives up to his self-titled 2012 album ‘Long. Live. ASAP’.
Featuring five covers to choose from.
