It is a journal which appeals to anyone whose taste in popular culture’s is not ghettoized into a single discipline and offers a quality of writing photography and design.Launched in March 2008 as an eye-catching but never gimmicky fanzine-minded independent quarterly Art & Music proved an instant success with the cognoscenti of London’s thrumming art world and independent music scenes. After two highly-prized issues it was snapped up by Charles Saatchi who installed it as the in-house magazine for his expansive new west London gallery.Despite the stellar imprimatur the magazine’s editorial remit remains totally independent and fearlessly original covering a gamut of feature subjects from interviews with heavyweight established names to ‘you-saw-it-here-first’ showcases for emerging talent.
This book is all about the celebration of fancy dress and dressing up which it takes to the extreme.The book is full of high quality pictures and contains forwords from Bestival comrade Lily Allen esteemed journalist Miranda Sawyer and Rob da Bank the Bestival curator.
