The 10th issue of Fantastic Man for autumn/winter 2009 is out on magazine stands now. It features a dashing Ewan McGregor on the cover. Along with a story on the accomplished actor is a spread with Vogue’s dandy-at-large Hamish Bowels, an interview with Chanel’s cosmetic creative director Peter Philips, a series of remarkable style stories, and so much more.
Developed by the same duo that brought you BUTT, Gert Jonkers and Jop Van Bennekom have found the most plausible solution for the magazine and publishing fiasco. Rather than put out a disposable monthly with ill considered design and content, they present a tome of aesthetic and tactile pleasure twice a year (though I would be even more pleased if it were quarterly). From the art direction to the fashion editorial to the writing, and even the paper quality, the magazine is flawless through and through.
