Creative Canon: French Glamour (1988–1995)
The French edition of Glamour magazine was first published from 1988 to 1995 as part of the Vogue Paris stable. The editor was Anne Chabrol.

Event: Graphic Design—Now in production
Every so often a design exhibition comes along that manages to mark a significant point in the creative industrie’s development.

Event: Imaginary Menagerie
A couple of weeks ago Linefeed had a ramble around Bloomsbury after attending a few Sunday sessions at Typo London [typolondon.com], and checking out the Bloomsbury Festival, which just happened to be on at the same time. It was after ducking down an alley off Lambs Conduit Street that we discovered a tiny gallery check [...]
What’s Up #101: Check Morris
A lot of Check Morris‘ [checkmorris.com] output may not look entirely new, they occasionally borrow quite heavily from So-Me‘s aesthetic which So-Me developed while working on the Ed Banger Record label (So-Me hasn’t bothered with a portfolio site so here’s his blog instead [so-me.coolcats.fr]) but they are to be commended for the aplomb with which [...]
