- Gavin Hills' articles in general, but especially the one on Sarajevo
- Putting the Spice Girls into very grown up Agent Provocateur undies while the rest of the press was still portraying them as cartoon characters
- Finding All Saints before anyone else
- Often amazing photography that's been much copied - I've often found fashion spreads in Vogue or Elle which were very close to stuff I'd seen in the Face a couple of months earlier and then there was the blatant plagiarism in En Vogue's video for Whatever...
- It put me onto a number of authors I'd otherwise never have heard of back in the good old days when computers had black screens and green writing
Against:
- Goes through good phases and bad and currently it's not so great. I can't stand the layout, most of the articles are of no interest to me and I don't know much about hoaxes, but the fact that the latest issue comes sealed in a bag with COCAINE writ large all over the front was a total turn off. I haven't bought it
- The barometer. I notice that the, er, new and improved Guardian Weekend section now also features one of these infuriating space fillers

Reviving it in the men's market with a former FHM editor at the helm = bad idea.

bit of a surprise, what with i-d going quarterly or whatever. i'm sure there's a gap in the market for a non-twat-oriented general magazine for twentysomethings of either gender.

i-D going quarterly? really? wow.

I was always under the impression that a lot of Face readers were women, which is why trying to relaunch it squarely in the men's market doesn't seem to make sense.
