no i dont and i dont think the so called "crazees" do either actually.

WOW!

can someone please enlighten me, I have never understood the deal with wilhelm. Is he completely talentless, or am i missing something.

Rodeo, I assume you're nothing to do with the magazine of the same name?

dreadful wind

You're missing the point, clearly noted by, "its because european designers often design with only design in mind.." Bye.

You all talking fashion wank now. Oh wait sorry that's the point of this forum. Just one thing though, before I fuck off to have fun. Those of you who harp on relentlessly about politics, substance and meaning...Well you sometimes have ENGAGE with something to strike upon those things. If all you want to see is a load of dazzling and seemly offensive colour then that's all you will see. I'm not talking specifically about !wowow! or SS here. What I find irritating is that so many people are scared to involve themselves with something without the safety net of ironic detactment, or they have to have discourse framed in a recognisable format (serious colour = proper fashion, a stern voice = intellectual debate) before they can see anything in 3 dimensions. Having fun can be political, playing can be something with incredible substance it just depends on the context. You won't see the value in anything if all you want to do is undermine it. I guess it probably unsettles and threatens people when people live and work chaotically. The history of squatting, for example, is very interesting and extremely politicised, people from all class groups have illegally.....oh fuck it actually, just point and laugh. I'm bored.

spelling mistakes in that, but I'm knackered. Sue me.

I don't read many fashion magazines any more,
they're just all so boring, lazy and disengaging... and pander too much to their advertisers.
SuperSuper is visually more exciting than Dazed/ i-D/ TANK/ Nylon/ Surface etc etc... god the list is endless... cos of all the bright trashy colours, and haphazard graphics & lo-res pics. It's far from perfect, it's a very rough dirty diamond, but it's only into issue 3.

I don't think i'm crazee enough to rush out to buy it religeously, but it obviously does stand out as being different from all the other fashion magazines on the shelves, aethetically.
It's the sort of mag you flick thru quickly & chuck, but unlike other mags it does leave behind a strong impression or after taste... whether it makes u cum or gag.

I gather from this forum & from hearing lots of fashiony people talking about SuperSuper out & about, that you either half-heartedly love it in a tongue-in-cheek-its-the-new-bible kinda way, or inversely fucking hate the guts of all its contributors & want to hurt them in some way.
There's definately a bit of professional jealousy out there from other magazines & fashion magazine purists (aka wankers) because of the attention it is receiving,
but a lot of the bad comments are also true: it is pretty shit & pretentious, but that is also why it's so appealing. It's cocky & just makes you smile.
Sometimes u laugh with it, sometimes u laugh at it. I rather like that, even if it's unintentional.

I do think the first issues/ transition from SuperBlow to SuperSuper featured too many images of the editors & contributors, but so what?.. any new project put together on a low budget/ wing&a prayer is bound to become cannibalistic & turn on it's surrounding crowd, and personally i think nam & steve are good & hard working people doing what they personally believe in, whilst others have the much easier job of laughing finger-pointing, staring, bitching or applauding.
They have all of you in some sort of spell or twist, one way or another, so they must be doing something right... good, bad or otherwise.

Valentine, i gotta say i think you are pretty damn sharp and bang out some excellent vocab, your comments made me laugh out loud even when they're cruel & mean.... it's good to read proper knee jerk reactions.... do u happen to be french model Valentine that used to go out with a dj in Hackney & who modeled at my Julian&Sophie show back in the days??... or are you someone who by some MAD CRAZY twist of fate just happens to have the same name whilst also being a model? A or B ?

Don't take any of the bitchiness to heart Mollaroid, you're jus being beaten around a bit with your own sticks.

I'm loosely connected to BlowPR (ie. i do tonnes of stuff for them for free, cheapskates) jus so that you know what angle to bitch me from(!) and i admit ive contributed words n garments for the early SuperBlows too, so i imagine that probably makes me a complete cunt. I'd like to take this oportunity to formally appologise to everyone that might have been hurt.
I just thought it'd be fun and interesting... which i'm sure is the same motivation as most other contributors.

I happen to live down the road from Shoreditch, which of course must mean something about what i wear & listen to, i guess... (i can't believe you all have the time or inclination to chategorize people geographically in such a shallow way, it's just so... GAY)... i don't even really know what WOWWOW is all about, cos i don't go out much or particularly care, and on the subject of Gareth Pugh i might as well chip in & say that although i rate him for sticking his neck out & being distinct, i think it's far too early to talk of his huge 'talent' yet: that will either shine through once all the hype recedes & he finds a way to work outside the influence of those who praise/criticize him, or failing that it'll evaporate once the inflatable balloon/ball thing reaches a conclusion. Which i think is soon/now-ish. I wish him sincere good luck cos he deserves to be championed, and SuperSuper too for not being like the other boring mags, even if it earns them a threads worth of scorn:
You know what you need to do, and don't need validation from Showstudio threads.

Finally i'd like to wish everyone a very pleasant day.
Lighten up a bit... it's not like anyone's killed anyone.
& in answer to original thread topic: Yeah SuperSuper gets my personal thumbs up.. for creating storms in a tea cup, etcetera.

Jx

Finally.
I wish I was so succinct.
Bugger.
