Aye up. I was 20 in 1980 and followed Neville Brody into the LCP to study typography. Up in the loft somewhere I’ve got the first 100 Face mags bar one, frustratingly. I grew up in Nottingham and got punched regularly for wearing drainpipes and frequenting the Sandpiper Club. Keep up the writing youth, enjoyed this one.
I was a total magazine junkie growing up. I guess they were really important for young people pre-internet. I had a collection of copies of The Face from later on 88-95 which I sold when I moved to Japan. They must have given so many creatives work too - all the photographers, stylists, writers. I also really liked the short-lived relaunch of Nova magazine at the end of the 90s. I have pretty much given up on magazines now. I binned all my old Vogue's except one or two issues. Is there anything good out there that I should look at?
Nothing in my (limited) orbit. The resurgence of paper format has been a bit of a damp squib. Some of the magazines struggle to have much engaging or inspiring content, but I guess there's at least two generation gaps between me and the target readership. Nova (60s and 70s) has recently been published as an edited collection. I think growing up in the 80s (and partly the 90s) we were blessed with a creative movement of music and fashion

Thanks. It was rich pickings and I guess the budgets were good. I’m going to look up the Nova collection.
