Grey Magazine


The next magazine I would like to introduce to you is Grey Magazine. Grey is about photography. It comes out twice a year and there are two issues out so far. Although it's a magazine, it comes as a book with a hardcover. There are several different categories inside like Designer, Editorial, Abstract and Interior Design. It's filled with beautiful photographs from the start to the last page with only little advertisment in the beginning and no articles but only short descriptions now and then. In the first issue, there's a manifesto by the editor-in-chief Valentina Ilardi Martin. I don't want to write the whole page down, but here's a short excerpt of it:

„Grey is the result of research and conviction, not strength or false provocation. Each page painted in grey – for nothing pure remains. These pages reclaim a necessary return to the simplicity of beauty, the melancholy on each page recalls a humble antiquity that values the precious work of many, made in the name of passion, dictated by a critical mood which has grown with an eye of respect towards that which has been done and said. Our research aims to transform an image into prose.“

I will buy the issue that are yet to come for sure and it already became one of the magazines I am looking forward to the most next to Acne Paper.

  3. I take issue with all magazines... especially ones that are born from Conde Naste - I find that 2/3's of the content are full of advertisements to which im left unsatisfied and disappointed. I hope Grey is different! I shall be looking out for it - thanks for the heads up!

    Yours truly
