Spindle magazine is a new, free quarterly showing off the best up-and-coming talent in fashion, art and music. Launched in May, the Brighton-based, nationally distributed magazine is the brainchild of Heather Falconer, who thought a magazine like Spindle, with glossy, brilliantly composed photo shoots that place it head and shoulders above other free magazines, ‘just seemed needed’.
Refusing all PR photos, listings and reviews, Spindle’s pages are well thought out and beautifully shot, proving the designers featured are talented individuals keen to show off the best of their work. In issue one, currently available across Brighton and the UK, we see Alis Pelleschi, Yeasayer and Bombay Bicycle Club amongst other artists. Issue two will be out in September.
Spindle’s launch party at Madame Geisha was a fantastic evening of art and fashion. Heather, Spindle’s editor, is continuing its success with a monthly fashion party, Rack and Ruin, in association with the Laden Showrooms (also to be held at Madam Geisha). Featuring sample sales from local and international designers, fashion shows, and collection previews, Rack and Ruin is not to be missed. Along with Spindle, it is sure to become a fixture on the Brighton fashion scene.
Pick up your copy of Spindle from Madam Geisha, The Duke of York’s, Komedia, Resident Records and various other locations. For a full list of stockists visit the Spindle website.
