:
34 people were killed yesterday in the city of Sumy, Ukraine, by the Russian army of terrorists.

Coincidence or not, yesterday we came across a social media post featuring our colleague — the editor of a so-called “French” magazine, of Russian origin — whose publication is often sold in the same concept stores as BL8D. This individual flits freely between Paris and Moscow, curates major exhibitions with the support of the Russian government, enjoys ballets at the Bolshoi Theatre, so that later, at the upcoming presentation in Paris, broadcast (I quote) about “poetry, fashion, and the quiet urgency of being human.”

What is this — a complete lack of empathy, or ordinary whoredom (бл****во)?

Why do we proclaim our place in this industry if we’re incapable of perceiving the context of the time in which we objectively find ourselves? If a person — not just any person, but the head of a media outlet — born in a country that has become a terrorist state, sees no issue in collaborating with this terrorist in any capacity, then what kind of fashion, what kind of humanism are we even talking about?

Our European colleagues — perhaps. But we, those born on the territory of the Russian Federation, we, those directly connected to the war in Ukraine, especially those running media — we have no moral right to ignore the war and the war crimes committed against Ukraine.

We can choose the format, the context, and the visual tools through which this narrative will be realized, but WE DO NOT HAVE THE OPTION OF SEEING OR NOT SEEING THE WAR.
Living in a bubble — albeit a very large one, over 400 pages long — and calling it “humanism” does not mean engaging in Fashion.

“…The team’s vision is enviable and holds its own amongst a very busy print landscape – a healthy one of late.
The vibrant yellow and black mix on the outside cover gives way to nine eyes printed as a lenticular placed centrally on the front. From different angles the eyes open and close – offering a window into the theme itself, death.
The eyes are symbolic to death it would seem, whereby human beings and the passage of life are depicted, but also could be a call to action – to open one’s eyes to the world around us.” (C)

…And I have identified for myself several topics that would be of interest to me in the con- text of the Future.
Firstly, it is satiety, spoiledness. And loneliness, really. It’s the way I see for myself one part of the future.

And this model of the Future, it united these cockroaches with which people are. That is, these are genetically modified pets that are the closest friends of these plump people. Then I made two more works — these are people lying in toys. Absolutely spoiled, absolutely... Lonely at the same time.(c)

How to use our magazine as a working tool when working on a creative or fashion project.
Part 2.

We dare to call BL8D an alternative trend book, a trend book that uses not textile cards and color palettes, but concepts.

Each text published in the magazine sets its goal to form a certain key image that has the potential for its further transformation into a design product or art object. Our task is to discover and then illustrate the most interesting, key meanings that arise during our dialogue with artists, historians, photographers, art critics...
We do not publish biographies and project explications, art galleries exist for this. Our task, together with representatives of completely different creative professions, is to look for answers to questions that literally vibrate in the space of time in which we live. We are most interested in illustrating the search process itself, rather than stating facts.

Each of the images “caught” in this process, as a rule, has a historical background, contains references to objects of modern art (sculpture, painting, films, etc.), and, of course, is a harbinger of certain macro trends in society.

We will analyze how to apply our book in practice using the example of Vol.1. and Vol.2 in the following posts.

Meet us in Hamburg, September 6-8,
at festival!

“In a world of heightened speed, fake news and disconnection, independent publishing is a remedy, transporting messages of empowerment, life quality and connection.
Every publication at Indiecon brings people together.

Some of the most beautiful magazines are independent magazines because there is so much care in the quality of paper, design work and distribution politics. Independent magazines require extra care due to their uniqueness.”(c)

«…a naked, dreamy, epicurean (under the sign of lotus), mandatory and boundless kind of picture of the future. Almost like moments put in abyss, meta theatrical scenes, dismembered, of the present put into perspective. An escape from this demented world, but that relates to its craziness somehow…(с)

“…I think we’re looking at a human being just like a kind of species subject to certain changes. And it scares me a lot. Is there any place in all this talk about progress for some miracle called “Man”?

Our jaw — it got smaller, it got bigger; we began to press keys faster or earn money more slowly, etc... But if we ask ourselves the question:

“Why did we go through this entire evolutionary path, why were civilizations and cultures created?”...
Well, probably not so that we could quickly order us some food 24 hours a day...”(c)
