Cos magazine

My Mum has been sending newspaper clippings to me for years along with notes saying, ‘thought this might be interesting for the blog.’ Last night she arrived to stay with this new Cos magazine and I ‘thought this might be interesting for the blog,’ before she even said it.

Cos is a brand, like Toast, which attracts a totally fanatical follower because it gives more than its core product – the core product being good to start with, importantly. This mag is a fine example. A few pages in some things felt familiar though: The writing and shoot style, the single pages of short text about sub cultures, the interview subjects all a bit left of mainstream. And, come on, how often do you get Wolfgang Tillmans shooting a story on a digital printing trade fair for a shop’s magazine?

Why? Cos Magazine is edited by those gents who publish The Gentlewoman and Fantastic Man – Gert Jonkers and Jop van Bennekom, who surely have the best names in the biz.

Nice details (totally The Gentlewoman).

That’s literally a peek, but I urge you to pick one up off the counter the next time you’re in Cos. It’s a nice little read.
