Pebble Zine, Issue 2

The début issue of Pebble Zine was a hearty success, attracting more than 2,000 readers. The positive comments, including those from my blog subscribers, meant so much to the team and I, and it spurred us on to make the next edition even better.

For this new December/January edition, we have reduced the number of pages from 240 to 186, for a more manageable read. In contrast, our team has grown to incorporate more writers, designers, photographers and marketers. We have also included clear title pages to distinguish each magazine section, and used fewer typfaces for a more consistent style throughout the publication.

Highlights of this issue include interviews with musicians Benjamin Francis Leftwich and Ryan Keen, independent designer Jennifer Morris, and also the valiant Scott Westwood, the man who walked the length of Britain without food or money.

Furthermore, in keeping with this issue's theme of 'brothers and sisters', we also discuss the winning partnerships of famed film-makers, the Coen brothers, and twin fashion designers, 'Spijkers en Spijkers'. And since it is December, we have thrown in some Christmassy treats too.

If you fancy contributing to Pebble Zine, or if you would like to advertise in our February/March issue, please do contact us. We would love to hear from you.

Interview with Joshua Castro

During the next four months, Unlimited by JK shall serve as a platform for a multimedia feature, focusing on the rise of the British menswear industry. Dylan Jones, Chair of the 2012 Menswear Committee, described menswear as a "sleeping giant", but the relatively recent addition of 'London Collections: Men' to our fashion calendar suggests that the giant has finally awoken from its slumber.

My first interview was with Joshua Castro, store manager at Wolf & Badger. The Ledbury Road and Dover Street boutiques hold a wealth of fashions from independent designers, including menswear collections by Lou Dalton, Fox Hunt Menswear and Serge DeNimes. Having been familiar with the Wolf & Badger brand for some time, it seemed a good place to officially begin this journalistic venture. You can watch my interview teaser below.
