THE NINETIES O'CLOCK NEWSPAPER ZINES: ANNUAL VISUAL COLLECTION. JAPANESE ARTIST AND STYLIST KIMIE HATA PUBLISHED THREE PICTURE-ONLY PAPERS BETWEEN 1994-1996 AND CAPTURED THE WORLD OF FASHION AND ANTI-FASHION IN THEIR ZWILLION PAGES.
1, 2, 3. All that were published. Everything that exists. Editor and publisher Kimie Hata was, amongst many other things, the stylist of the legendary Sonomama Sonomama book! We need not say more. These zines are large format nineties landscape greatness.
How nineties is it? Very! This Anette Aurell page from the first zine (1994) sets the tone. Middle of the nineties = middle of everywhere.
Or how about this Roger Charity photograph. Model wears Helmut Lang shirt and Agnès B sweater.
Issue doubles down on the down-low-slung trousers with the Alexander McQueen McQueen AW 95-96 collection.
It's not all fashion but it is all super cool. Tokuko Ushioda double pages from his Ice Box series of fridge interiors.
Had to drop two of these Mark Borthwick for Yohji Yamamoto spreads. Just wonderful and rarely seen work.
OK so this isn't the nineties. This is 1976 but you don't see these Dan Asher photographs of Lou Reed, John Cale (it isn't Robert DeNiro on vocals) and David Byrne all playing together. Patti Smith was on it too - photos of her on other spreads in the 3rd volume of Annual Visual Collection.
Back into fashion for Junya Watanabe 96-97 AW collection.
They are incredible really. The whole decade as easy as one, two, three. Buy them as a set on the red button below.
SUPERBOOKS & AMAZINES. DISCO BEAUTY IS HERE, ALL THE WAY FROM 1979. SUBWAY NEW YORK MAKES A WELCOME RETURN. JIM BRITT SISTERS AND THE MOLLY RINGWALD CINE ICON BOOK. HONESTLY, WE SPOIL OURSELVES SOME TIMES.
