PIAZZA MIRABELLO Al numero 1 di Piazza Mirabello, nel palazzo progettato da Jan Andrea Battistoni negli anni ‘60, ha luogo il mio studio. In ingresso la serie Fear Management del 1987 di @generalidea_ a parete e ‘l’uomo che cammina’ è di @giovannidefrancesco. Il primo spazio, occupato da un grande tavolo realizzato in ferro naturale su disegno (su cui poggia una lampada 63 di #umbertoriva @fontanaarte sormontato da lampade tecniche a tenuta stagna in inox 3f Filippi) ospita 5 postazioni. Il tavolo galleggia tra le opere a parete, da una parte il trittico a pois di @scottkingstudio dall’altra l’opera The Left Door / La Derniere Porte (Athens Archive) 2004/2005 @beckybeasleyuk @francescaminini. Il divano Oblong di @jasper.morrison @cappelliniofficial rivestito in pelle morbida color cacao con cuciture contrasto turchesi giace sopra un tappeto a fiori cinese anni ‘20 rosa e nero. A parete opera di @_nickgoss untitled del 2009. La scrivania fasce cromate di #cacciadominioni per @azucenaofficial_ con piano rivestito in panno blu, lampada di #joecolombo. Alle pareti una fila di liberie lips vago nere contengono il tesoro prezioso dello studio, la mia collezione di libri d’architettura, di design, di arte, di moda, magazine, le mie pubblicazioni, cataloghi, saggi, romanzi, giornali, ma anche campioni di tessuto, di marmo, di vetro, di metallo, piccoli prototipi, sculture. Il mio abaco. 01-02-03) @studio_lgb 04-05-06) @_decadance_ Daniele de Carolis #architecture #milano janandreabattistoni @studio_lgb

Late to the party with An Inventory of Detail. Sometime in October 2022, I visited the MoMA and on the top floor was an exhibition by Wolfgang Tillmans. I was unsure of my artistic direction at the time, but I took a lot of photos that trip. A few freelance gigs led to a full-time role at Fred Perry, and a conversation with Dom about the zine and my admiration for it’s contributors, Tillmans included, so it’s a privilege to share the pages with them. I came across my great-grandfather’s business card and the polaroid when going through a few family photo albums - a good reminder to take photos you can hold in your hand. Big thanks to @dominiquefenn, @scottkingstudio and everyone involved!

“Sleazenation 2001: Like Before Only More.” The magazine’s plans included “angry, opinionated rants from bitter, tired hacks clearly dissatisfied with the shoddy hand life has dealt them.” It also proposed dropping “tired faux-ironic gestures,” with the qualification “unless we can’t think of anything better.” The list ends with “References to Britney Spears.” Sleazenation, February 2001. Opening editorial page and masthead.

In 2001, Sleazenation asked whether pop could still produce a revolution. By the end of the essay, the internet was part of the hopeful answer: musicians could make records outside the industry, and now they might distribute them that way, too. Stevie Chick and Steve Slocombe worked through what “revolutionary” actually meant, from punk’s invitation to start your own magazine to hip-hop’s redistribution of cultural and economic power. Some of their judgments are a lot harder to defend than others. But the closing faith in the internet is what catches me now: the infrastructure for an alternative seemed to be arriving. “Only apathy can stop us now,” they concluded. There turned out to be a few other obstacles. Sleazenation, February 2001. Words: Stevie Chick and Steve Slocombe.

FRONTROSE CORRESPONDENCE – A CONVERSATION WITH SCOTT KING For the first edition of Frontrose Correspondence, we asked art director and author Scott King to look back at the places, objects, influences and early works that have shaped his practice – and at what, despite everything, has remained. Five questions. Four photographs. A conversation at a distance. Image 01: Hot Flat by Austrian architectural group Coop Himmelblau, 1978 — a design for an apartment block with a ‘burning wing’, perpetually at risk of burning itself down. Image 02: A 1930s biscuit barrel belonging to Scott’s Nanna King, a familiar object from his childhood. Image 03: Airmyn riverbank, where Scott played as a child and returns to often, with Drax power station in the background. Image 04: Never Work, Scott’s first work for Sleazenation, made in collaboration with writer Matt Worley, with whom he produced CRASH. In correspondence with Scott King (@scottkingstudio).

As part of this year’s London Design Festival we’re bringing together a group of publishers, designers, historians and academics to take a fresh look at where magazines came from, and what they mean to readers in the 21st century. Tony Quinn is author of A History of British Magazine Design. He will show how social, technological, and commercial changes shaped the thing we now know as the magazine. Dr Sharon Maxwell Magnus is author of Feminism, UK Women’s Magazines and the Women Who Created Them. She will speak about the rise of UK women’s magazines from the 1960s to the 1990s. Scott King was art director for i-D magazine in the late 1990s and creative director for Sleazenation in the early 2000s. In his talk he will speak about the work he did then, and how it has informed more recent projects such as The Debrist Manifesto (2021) and The New Space (2025). Charlie Baker is editor of @thefencemag and Mathias Clottu from @studiomathiasclottu is art director. They will speak about “mining the archives”, borrowing ideas from great magazines past and using them to make a great magazine for the present. Lucy Roeber is editor of @eroticreview and Frith Kerr from @studiofrith is art director. They will speak about designing the erotic for 2026, and the freedoms that a print magazine allows in an increasingly restrictive digital age. Meara Sharma is senior editor of @elastic.mag. She will show how the magazine subtly subverts conventions in order to communicate an original vision of psychedelic art and literature that’s “the ordinary, only slightly, weirdly off”. Alice Sherwin and Harry Bennett are the founders of @studiogroundfloor. They will speak about their work on @pilotmagazined, taking a conceptual approach to design ingenious and avant garde publications. It’s all happening @stbridefoundation in partnership with @go_all_in_2026 and generously supported by @fleetstquarter. Friday 18 September 2026 St Bride Foundation and Online See link in bio for more information and to book tickets

It is detail – and our preference for one detail over the next – which informs every choice that we make. We chose this shirt (not THAT shirt), we like this film (not THAT film), we love this band, (not THAT band), and so on. With this in mind, Fred Perry invited a variety of people from in and around our world to nominate one detail which is so crucial to them, that it has – in some way – shaped who they are. This publication was conceived and produced in collaboration with British art director Scott King. Copies are FREE to collect in person from Fred Perry shops around the Metro, while stocks last.

A version of this week’s Substack essay is included in Fred Perry’s An Inventory of Detail, Volume 1. The publication asks: which detail matters enough to shape how you see yourself? My answer is British Standard 381C 638 Dark Sea Grey, the military colour specification I used when painting my flat. A grey designed not to express taste, but to regulate visibility. A colour that looks neutral because authority often works best when it appears to have no taste at all. Conceived and produced by Fred Perry with Scott King, the publication includes contributions from @alexishotchip @alistairwaterfield @cackers_ @cameronjlwest @cary.kwok @charlesjeffreyloverboy @craig__green @davidcurtisring @dominiquefenn @elaine_constantine @georgeshaw_artist @henryshipton @jeremydeller @johnjosephholt @kris_van_assche @mr_dave_haslam @prof.andrewgroves @stoyanlukov @tonycokes_ @100clublondon @wolfgang_tillmans, John Drabble, Joseph Kondras and Richard Turley. Copies are free from Fred Perry shops worldwide, or with online orders, while stocks last.

@FredPerry has released a zine created with @scottkingstudio and @dominiquefenn, focusing on the details in life (and clothing) that “hold the most significance”.⁠ ⁠ The new publication, An Inventory of Detail, asks cultural figures including @wolfgang_tillmans, @elaine_constantine, @mr_dave_haslam and designer Richard Turley for their picks.⁠ ⁠ Their choices are enjoyably eclectic: Tillmans chose the moon in earthlight, while Turley highlights the internal combustion engine. Other evocative contributions include talcum powder on the floor of Northern Soul clubs, picked by photographer @cackers_, and the ballpoint pen, chosen by artist @cary.kwok.⁠ ⁠ 🔗 Read the full story at the link in bio now.⁠ ⁠ #physicalmedia #fashion #printmedia

Ten years to the day when pop up art shop Grrrr! opened its doors and let a hungry public in to see ART and things! The shop was in Malden Road, Kentish Town NW5 and was run by Siân Pattenden and Pandora Vaughan. Alongside their work, we had many artists - Cathy Ward, Scott King, Jane Hoodless, KeelerTornero, Gee Vaucher and Exitstencil Press, Nick Newsam, Joe Carcary, Tessa Norton, Claire Biddles (Grrrr! two) and the first and maybe only showing ever of Terry Hall's great artwork. We were there for a few weeks just being ART and that's also when PROTEST BISCUITS happened, after a Brexit vote and in honour of the Rock n Roll Biscuit. More posts to follow in the next few days. Many hugs and much love to those that came to see the show and the workshops. Thanks to the Kentishtowner and Time Out for their support at the time. https://gr-grrrr.blogspot.com/
