Apart from my shoes which are under the coffee table where a bunch of issues are kept, lolzzzzer. No, which website/magazine/other does the job of The Face in 2007?

I-D? Purple Fashion? Another Magazine? Butt? I dunno...

HA! Super Super is basically a strange little fanzine that no-one buys, insn't it? It's a scene thing like Faith or Socialism but instead of writing it has pretty pictures. The Observer Weekend magazine has more in common with The Face than that...
Tank was a brief contender for The Face crown, but then it kind of got a bit rubbish and it's not mass market enough.
Oh and I'd go for The Face = classic. Great articles and fun not dour like I-D and Dazed.

I miss the Face.

man glad i'm not the only one who finds i-D a dour slog

I find it weird that the only magazine I would probably still buy is not published anymore (see also MUZIK).

― Spencer Chow, Friday, 27 April 2007 00:43 (sixteen years ago) link

see also Select

― Spencer Chow, Friday, 27 April 2007 00:44 (sixteen years ago) link

you should buy mixmag

otm.

but yeah MIXMAG as we've discussed many a time i think has changed a lot in the last 18 months since the take over. MUZIK it aint like but what is?

― pisces, Friday, 27 April 2007 01:35 (sixteen years ago) link

SELECT!
I was wandering through my old copies from the golden era a while back. Such a wonderful mag. I was even laughing at Moody DJ, even though it was funnier in my head than it was in reality.

at least it has pretty decent covermount CDs.

― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 27 April 2007 04:45 (sixteen years ago) link

and a few of them lately (switch, sven vath, erol alkan) have been just this side of brain melting

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

― Tits Bramble (Matt DC), Wednesday, 3 June 2009 09:48 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

― FREE DOM AND ETHAN (special guest stars mark bronson), Wednesday, 3 June 2009 10:00 (fourteen years ago) link

i-D going quarterly? really? wow.

― piscesx, Wednesday, 3 June 2009 11:18 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

^^ and teh gays

― Tim F, Wednesday, 3 June 2009 12:35 (fourteen years ago) link

where does it say it'll be in the 'mens market'?
