map magazine #84
| editor's note | |||
Welcome to the March CLOTH issue of map magazine. For our loyal readers, you will appreciate that whilst map continually pushes boundaries and questions the opinions perpetuated by mass media, our resolute dedication is to focus on the positive aspects of life. Subscribing to a similar ethos is the National Portrait Gallery (NPG) of London’s current Face of Fashion photographic exhibition. Here the art form and relationship between the photographer and subject is celebrated. Case in point is our front cover image of Kate Moss courtesy of NPG. It was snapped early on in her career by Corinne Day, a British photographer credited as ‘discovering’ the iconic model. Despite her tabloid-persona, Kate has contributed greatly to fashion, gracing three-hundred plus magazine covers, securing unprecedented advertising campaigns and continually inspiring a cultish following in the fashion world. The dreamers of #83 are leaving their own indelible mark on the world and hoping to inspire others to do the same. Read how former Brand Director Jane Shepherdson built Topshop into a multi-million dollar company; why Chelsea De Luca shuns mass-production and painstakingly handcrafts her exquisite jewellery; how Natalie Cohen seeks out interesting textiles for her Cohen et Sabine label; and why Nobel Peace Prize Winner and founder of the Green Belt Movement Wangari Maathai began planting trees to encourage peace. Celebrate the good and enjoy the read. Tina Brown =^..^= |

NATALIE COHEN |
|
At first you might catch a glimpse of a subtle teardrop, glittery silver detail, optical white beads or lace and ribbon embellishment; it’s exquisite and delicate. Then your eye skips down to a soft hemline. She floats past, and the sweet image is upturned. From behind, through cleverly-placed cut-outs, the contours of her body take shape. She’s feminine and sexy, she’s gentle and edgy. She is wearing Cohen et Sabine.read more... |

| pureman CNR ALBERT & CHARLOTTE ST, CITY T. 3012 7990 Created by Scotsman Al McDonald, Pureman lives up to its name, adding some serious retro-and macho-man injection into the male grooming industry. Dominating a corner of Albert and Charlotte Streets in the heart of the City, this visual explosion of vibrant colour and textures lures a now ‘blokey’ cult-following to preen and pamper with skincare and grooming products, including American Crew, HeadBlade, and hot US skin care and shaving brands, Men-U, Sharps USA and Baxter of California, previously unavailable in Australian retail outlets. Past the uncomplicated glass facade, the warehouse-style interior of this ‘fancy’ barbershop is decked out in pure-man decor. The waiting quarter features a comfy brown leather bench and leads on to the main action area in this open-planned space. |
Exploding from the concrete floor are six luscious tobacco-coloured Belmont Apollo barber chairs. Sitting in one of these beauties instantly transports you back to days of old, when having a haircut or shave wasn’t a chore quickly slotted into a busy schedule, but a leisurely excursion where your barber was your friend. Yet, this is Pureman so expect a few mod-con surprises, like the individual LCD monitors positioned in front of each chair. The definite highlight of the space is the enormous 4.5m by 2.6m mural, created by Brisbane graphic design company RED-i Design. Dominating the entire back wall of the salon, it’s a collage of all-time great men and iconic images, including Clint Eastwood’s Dirty Harry, Al Pacino’s Tony Montana, Muhammad Ali, James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, and Evel Knievel. |

BEIGEL 24/7 We have all done the dodgy kebab stop after hitting the clubs, but wouldn’t it be lovely to try something different? In London, and in the very fashionable Brick Lane, is Beigel Bake. What makes this an iconic destination known to all party-people is the 24/7 trade and cheap-as-chips prices (35p to £3.50 each). Almost on par with the Soup Nazi attraction of New York, customers here line up outside the door and must quickly give orders when it is their turn. Try the famous salt beef filling, or cream cheese, smoked salmon or combo. |
| SEASONAL plums American poet Dr William Carlos Williams was so enthused by the plum, he dedicated a poem to this succulent stone fruit, “I have eaten the plums that were in the icebox and which you were probably saving for breakfast. Forgive me, they were delicious, so sweet and so cold.” Who can blame him for feasting on the slightly tart skin and sweet flesh? This month is the peak season for plums and with more than two hundred varieties in Australia to choose from, we should all spend autumn eating these succulent fruits and reading poetry. |

pedro - you, me & everyone BY INERTIA, 2007CORDS, 206 You, Me & Everyone is the stunning new album from Pedro, an ambitious attempt to widen the scope of cut and paste music. Since the release of his first EP in 1999, Pedro has worked relentlessly to broaden the definition of instrumental hip-hop. With only a small handful of releases under his belt Pedro quickly went on to find favour with acts like Radiohead. The sound is fraught with screeching horns and harrowing bass-lines that unveil a vivid dreamlike beauty. Floating somewhere between free jazz, African tribal, hip-hop and experimental rock music, Pedro is a unique craftsman of collected sound. |

Combining drawing and collage, Nicola utilises these themes to delve into three main threads with her vibrant exhibition at Jan Murphy Gallery. The Almanac series is about the creation of the artist’s own almanac - charting sensations and feelings, while Red Prayer is a series of smaller tableaux on red, using domestic objects to create little elegies to larger themes. The third body of work is a continuation of the pure, intimate pencil drawings from her last exhibition in 2005. Due to their fragile nature, Nicola’s works consist of collages printed on paper with archival inks. These are then painted over with a fine brush and acrylic paint.
