Distill, my heart: New fashion and style magazine launches

Fulfilling the need for more instant information to fit into people’s busy schedules, a new magazine compiles the best of the creative press. Distill, billed as ‘a primary source of inspiration for creatives worldwide’, launched on 1 September, and offers a global digest of fashion and style editorial.

The first issue of the international bi-monthly fashion magazine, published by Craft, brings together a carefully selected collection of images and educated commentary offered by a panel of industry experts. The commentary on each selected feature is followed by the story as it appeared in its original form. The publication’s masthead reads like a Who’s Who of the creative world: Designer Tom Dixon is editor-in-chief, and the editorial board includes Net-A-Porter’s Natalie Massenet, fashion designer Giles Deacon and Deyan Sudjic, director of London’s Design Museum.

‘This is not a fashion magazine about hemlines. It is about the way fashion is presented globally,’ says publishing director Christopher Lockwood. ‘Fashion is an important visual stimulus and inspiration to the creative sector as a whole.’
