• THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT! •
|
|
|
|
|
Curated by Daniel McCabe
|
|
|
There’s a distinct trend towards high end luxury in contemporary fashion print publishing, with many titles now selling with a cover price around £35 or more. This shouldn’t obscure a wave of innovative and accessibly-priced new entrants, as well an established clutch of titles that leverage their advertising clout and their access to A-list photographers and stylists put out high quality magazines at low prices. One of our favourite is Antwerp’s RE-EDITION which fuses fashion with abstract and street vibes to construct something that's just off-kilter, yet wholly mesmerising. It attempts to reinterpret how we dress ourselves and our perceptions of clothing on other people, breaking boundaries between conformities such as age and gender. It’s mammoth, it’s published twice a year and it’s out this week for well under a tenner.

Dive into The Festival of Nature, 7 - 15 June
|
|
|
|
|
The UK’s
biggest free nature festival returns this June, with a powerful new theme – all
about water – designed to take audiences beyond the typical green spaces and
discover the importance of an often overlooked vital life force.
Running across Bristol and
Bath, the festival features more than 80 events, most of them free. The theme
of water literally runs through the heart of the festival, with the River Avon
connecting events in Bristol Harbourside and along Bath’s waterfront, from
wildlife boat trips and outdoor exhibitions to paddleboarding taster sessions
and
screenings with a river view.
Highlights include a
wildlife boat trip with expert zoologist and TV personality Ed
Drewitt, ex-BBC presenter Ali Vowles’ environmental chat show aboard a
boat, and the festival’s first ever nature-themed club night, Club SOL, at
the
Old Market Assembly.
To really make a splash, the
centrepiece of the packed nine-day festival will be a living, breathing 8x8m
wetland brought to life in Bristol’s Harbourside.
