Centrefold Magazine, the fashion/art/design bi-annual, is pleased to announce its collaboration with Tom Lardner Ltd on The Vintage Issue. All the looks throughout this issue were created using mainly vintage pieces (inc. Beyond Retro, Elio Ferraro & Bolongaro Trevor) to evoke the bygone eras of the 60s and 70s, while every shoot is a re-imagination of defining pop cultural moments and events of those periods.
Inspired by echoes of musical iconography from Sgt Pepper’s to the Sex Pistols, a vista of talented individuals unite to produce a glimpse into that slice of history through their creative vision. So we travel through a varied landscape within this issue’s pages, encompassing the reoccurring themes of hedonism, youthful rebellion, lost innocence, sex, drugs and rock and roll music that defined the halcyon days of both British and U.S social history and still resonate with us today.
Each set of images is unique, lending itself to Centrefold’s main ethos, which is to produce a collection of standalone A2 posters within one publication. Famed illustrator, Michael Gillette re-animates the spirit of the notorious Oz magazine with his intoxicating cover image, a trio of wily rock goddesses. Photographer Claire Shilland portrays the seedier side of the street, while addressing the underage boys of L.A’s late 60s Sunset Strip (Every Boy on the Sunset Strip) within unvarnished portraits.
From there we move to England’s original Crazy Diamond with Andrew G. Hobbs, reincarnating Pink Floyd’s iconic Syd Barrett in the guise of top model, Georgia Frost (After Syd). Together they capture the dangerous allure and candid innocence inside the tortured soul. Jethro Cave and his paramour navigate Iain McKell’s surreal path into a hazy acid trip (Micro Dot), culminating in the centrefold spread where the young lover’s collapse in laconic rapture. Elsewhere Adam Whitehead illuminates free-spirited It model Alice Dellal (Ask Alice), Bowie’s China Girl provides inspiration to Ben Weller (China Girl) and Nicholas Lawn channels Picnic at Hanging Rock (Maidens of May) producing a cinematic finish to this stunning pantheon of images.
We invite the pleasure of your company on this journey and encourage you to continue with us on future issues of this limited edition magazine and on our regularly updated weblog, http://centrefoldmagazine.blogspot.com.
