Slimane, along with the help of styling genius Nicola Formichetti, burns the magazine’s debut into our collective retinae by juxtaposing black and white photos with those of ejaculatory COLOR! And did we mention it’s all starring an adorable model called Ash?
Polka-dotting young Ash’s porcelain torso and adorning him with skirts, studs, and Samurai swords, the spread is one part Cockettes, two parts pop punk, and a kilo of Akira Kurosawa. If this is the kind of candy-flipped shower-nozzle editorial we can expect from future issues of this new Japanese fashion rag, consider us a captive audience!
