Mag Hag

While everyone else is loving their magazines, i'm loving Neo2. Neo2 has been my must have hard copy magazine for years now. it's a spanish magazine that puts everyone in southern europe (and maybe me and a few other north americans) in the know about fashion, design (all fronts), music, books, and the art scene in spain. First and foremost, the fashion spreads that come out of this magazine are visual fireworks. They feature many designers who will probably only be on the fashion radar on this side of the globe in 1 or 2 years. They're design section is a confetti display of all the new concept work coming out all over the world. They also focus on art gallery openings and the artists works. They give us their perspectives on the indie bands we're listening to now. The sexiest part of the mag is that it's only printed in spanish (used to have a complete english translation section but that's been long abandoned). I've recently discovered as well that with each hard copy issue you receive, a code is provided to download the latest font found on their cover... Fonts make me wiggle. If you can find a diverse enough mag shop, pick up a copy, its total goodness.
