Obsidizine, the bi-monthly photo-zine by UK fashion photographer Adam Marc Williams launches with Concrete Elite, a parkour-inspired streetwear editorial shot on location in the back-streets of France in collaboration with Maverick Models.
Featuring contemporary brands including AKA Clothing & Underated London, this is Obsidizine’s first in a series of collaborations with exciting brands and retailers celebrating modern-monochrome fashion.
The publication is an eight-page A5 photo-zine that folds out into an impressive A2 poster. Each copy is cut and folded by hand as a labor of love keeping print runs limited to 500 copies.
