Sebastian Magazine by HOSTEM is a publication like none other. While most magazines stick consistently to one overarching theme that can be seen in every issue, each issue of the HOSTEM publication will be named after a different man and be given a different theme. According to the website, Sebastian is a "bi-annual culture and lifestyle publication that that treads its own editorial path with wit, consideration and a focus on the personal."
Sebastian's identity is described as "creative, curious and intelligent. He is fashion literate and culturally informed. Sebastian the magazine speaks in the voice of Sebastian the man." The debut issue features interviews with renowned gallery owners, artists, photographers, bakers, shoe designers and even horseback rider Katie Price.
These virtually schizophrenic magazine will make you feel like you're getting to know a new person every time you read it!
