AS SEEN IN BLITZ
In the 1980s and 1990s zines like I-D emerged from the underground giving face to a sub cultural movement in fashion, art and music that was otherwise left unnoticed. Many magazines’ emerged and exited – and by now due to the Interweb the editorial landscape of magazines has changed completely. Like I-D, Blitz was one of those magazines from back in the days that beautifully depicted the ‘80s scene with a colorfull cast of contributors showcasing the likes of Leigh Bowery, Madonna, Daniel Day Lewis, Pam Hogg, Issey Miyake, Vivienne Westwood and Comme Des Garçons. Blitz fashion editor Lain R. Webb now has published a book, entitled As Seen In Blitz: Fashioning ‘80s Style highlighting the years between 1982 and 1987. You can purchase the book here.
