Slashstroke Magazine's sixth issue is out and currently available online. Titled '2D3D,' the images work with notions of shape, dimension and layering, placing pictures on to the pages in a haphazard, cut and paste manner.
The themes of interpretation and variation are at play in this Slashstroke venture. The publication aimed to alter common understandings of life, choosing to instead operate by way of a multi lateral world view.
This philosophical approach to art, culture and fashion is reflected in the images. The models stand about in unusual positions within unusual apparel, challenging dominant assumptions regarding menswear, seasonal apparel, runways productions and all things current. The ensembles and accessories are all full of character, making for a highly engaging read.
