Relax for Girls was my favourite magazine then, and is still my favourite magazine now. That my favourite magazine died after six issues *, I’m not quite sure what it says about my taste.

It’s so strange looking at the first issue, published almost 10 years ago, as it still feels so familiar and current to me.
Every issue opens with a spread from Takashi Homma.
Bad news is good news.
Fashion editorial on preppy style.
The catalogue, so essential in Japanese magazines.
The context.
Sunday people, a series of portraits.
KK.
Music for Sunday lovers.
For sunny days.
For rainy days.
Bapy and Bape.
Hiromix shoots t-shirts.

Silas special!
Takashi Homma photographs Sofia Coppola.
Art for all.
Silas was my favourite brand at that time.
Sunday music for cloudy days.

Takashi Homma in Dosa studio.
On craft work.
People and the things they make.
An editorial called Room.

Eley Kishimoto on the cover.
I was obsessed by this collection from Eley Kishimoto. It is still my favourite amongst all they have done.
“Fruits parlor” report.
An editorial called Eternity.
I think by eternity, they mean stripes and dots.
The on-location shoots are always lovely.

Marc by Marc Jacobs ad, what happened?
Girl in boys’ clothes.

Bye.
* Five and a half really, the last one was a supplement to Relax (for boys).
