Issue 31 August 2017 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE WAVES OF JOY DIVISION: RAF SIMONS SS18 The Men’s New York Fashion Week was blown away by Raf Simon’s SS18 campaign. Revisiting past collections and his love for Peter Saville’s era defining graphic design at Factory Records, Raf showcased his latest collection that was inspired by Joy Division and New Order. Raf’s graphic trenches and layered t-shirts emblazoned with Joy Division and New Order’s album art are sure to be a street style hit. Back in 2003, his ‘Closer’ collection applied New Order’s 1983 Power, Corruption & Lies album cover to fishtail parkas and hoodie (which now auction for $20,000). Ten years later, Supreme used the same floral motif on a T-shirt, hoodie, and bucket hat, producing some of its most legendary and coveted pieces of all time. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

40 YEARS ON: MOTÖRHEAD WE LOVE YOU Motörhead was the band’s self-titled debut studio album that was released into our lives forever back in August 1977. Lemmy (we’re not worthy) Kilmister who was originally in Hawkwind, left and started up his own band which was to become one of the world’s most iconic and influential bands of all time. 40 years on and the spirit of Lemmy still reigns strong – just like the latest Motörhead Whiskey (yep, you heard correctly) that was created by the man himself and now band members have completed the production process to make it accessible to fans and Whiskey fans alike. Lemmy was very much part of the making process and his reaction after trying it? ‘This one tastes f*cking great’! Long live the Spirit of Motörhead!!!
