Industrie


Finally finished reading issue#3 of Industrie after it hit the stands a couple of weeks ago and it's fair to say it did  not   disappoint- My favourite interview had to be with Isaac Lock, the straight talking, no bullshitting editor of Love magazine gives an objective view of the industry and his take on what an interesting interview really consists of. From a youth spent in and out of prison to his recent promotion at Love, the 27 year old lad from Norfolk has certainly come a long way- you could blame it on luck or his impetuous nature but I'm gonna blame it simply on honesty.  The fearless honesty that underlies all of his interviews is what makes him unique- it’s not the fashion content that is his main focus, but the exposure he gives to his interviewees- ‘telling their story’…

There’s something so refreshing about what he is doing right now and his views on the industry, he doesn’t get preoccupied with fashion politics and simply shrugs off any criticism.  All in all the guy has remained pretty grounded and seems unfazed when questioned on his brash persona.  I guess it comes down to his ability to look at things from a different angle, digging that little bit deeper for stories that haven’t come to light in years that makes him oh so special.  I mean, it takes balls to admit that ‘if someone tells me a story I suspect is not true I’ll happily write it if it’s more interesting than the truth’. 


..and besides all that he's got the RayBan clubmasters that i want.
