International fashion magazine about fashion magazines, Distill, launches

A new international design-focused fashion publication entitled Distill has been launched in London by Craft Publishing. Essentially, it is a digest-sized magazine about fashion magazines. Expected in March, it had its launch late last week.

You can read more about it in this post from MediaBistro's Unbeige blog. Former Wallpaper publisher Christopher Lockwood is creative and publishing director for the magazine. He says

'This is not a fashion magazine about hemlines, it is about the way fashion is presented globally.'

'The number of designers and creatives is growing. Fashion is an important visual stimulus and inspiration to the creative sector as a whole, which is why we have recruited designers from a range of disciplines to sit on the editorial board.'

The cover price for the new magazine is a fairly steep £4.50 (no word on Canadian price) and it will publish 6 times a year. It will be distributed in 44 countries worldwide, on a similar expensive-and-exclusive model as Wallpaper or Monocle.
