Cool Hunting
Once a small lifestyle magazine covering local Luxembourg, Nico is about to launch their first bi-annual internationally distributed issue. A diverse collective of contributors from around the globe create a cohesive view of progressive pop and off-the-radar culture through the simple formula of "interviews and fashion."
Focusing on emerging talents in fashion, photography, art, design and illustration, the first edition will hit international newsstands on 21 April 2007. Like the Luxembourg original (which existed from 2004-2006), Nico will feature interviews with experts in the magazine industry as well as eye-candy in the form of fashion shoots with up-and-coming designers and stylists. Hefty at 244 pages, the high-gloss issues are sumptuously designed.
Annual subscriptions are available for €20 in Europe and €30 for the rest of the world here.

What makes a good...
I just got back from Project Las Vegas where I caught up with Matty Merrill from Distilled Clothing, one of the newest and most eye-catching menswear lines from San Francisco.
