A magazine is never the product of one person or company. Like a movie, there are so many people involved in the creation that we hardly have a moment to thank them. Our small staff is comprised of a dedicated, talented crew of people who work long hours out of a sheer passion for the world of fashion and magazines. I’d like you to get to know them.

Jay Z collection and<br />
offer an edition of<br />
Rock Star Chic: The Dark Side<br />

250 numbered copies. The book<br />
is a visual journey of over 300<br />
photographs with fashion’s most<br />
cutting-edge photographers, designers<br />
and stylists exposing the<br />
“ominously beautiful obsession<br />
with the bad boy aesthetic and<br />
reveals what draws us into the<br />
darkness, providing a daring<br />
testament to the love affair with<br />
the gloomy, sultry side of Rock<br />
‘N Roll.”<br />

What is the concept behind the book?<br />
The book explores the dark side of<br />

has usually been attributed to the modern-day<br />
“rock star” style - the performance acts of rebellion<br />
set to music.<br />
Rock Star Chic has many meanings, organized<br />
by its 5 chapters: Tribal nomads to portray<br />
the modern-day bohemian gypsy, feathers and<br />
fringes, leather and python. Sometimes the<br />
symbols elude to death, but again mainly as a<br />
symbol of rebellion, such as the use of skulls<br />
and the color black, in the chapter Dark Angels.<br />
