Power friends NYC! My buddy Sandy Kim and I just shot and modeled for the cover for the new issue of Vice Magazine. We also have a full spread called Pretty Kool-A, based off Japanese purikura photobooth pics. They just hit the streets, yoink em' while you can. Thank you! -Maggie Lee

Can you even believe your eyes with this Rag & Bone FW12 brocade & fur coat? I just spotted it up close and personal on Ray Siegel from Lucky Mag's Instagram and have been fawning over it ever since. X - Jen
How To Piss In Public by Gavin McInnes is the book everyone has been waiting for! Gavin has been capturing eyes and ears for over two decades now with his brilliant brain and he has no plans on stopping anytime soon. I've only gotten halfway so far (I did only got my copy yesterday) but I couldn't recommend it more! X - Jen

Swatch is doing some crazy contest where instead of shooting their own campaign for their New Gent Laquered watches, they're letting magazines track down "the most stylish and inspirational street." Whichever magazine wins gets to host a street party of a lifetime in June. Woah! I personally love this V Magazine editorial set in the East Village featuring Grimes, Iggy Azaela, and SSION. - Hazel
Inventory Magazine has launched their anticipated 6th issue with features on vintage dealer Bobby Garnett, Batten Sportswear, Tory Leather, and Visvim. I'm honoured to have a photo essay in the issue too. In celebration, they will be hosting their West Coast launch party at the Inventory Stockroom (45 Powell Street) tonight, March 30. The combination of good people, nice clothing, drinks and new reading make the event something that shouldn't be missed. If you can not make it, the magazine will be available at these selected retailers. - Jennilee
I love this fashion editorial of Elle Fanning shot by Venetia Scott for the latest issue of Self Service magazine. She might actually be too adorable. - Hazel
Brandon Chuesy's newest zine, “Can I Call You Back?”, is filled with all of the colors and almost blank faces we've come to love from the artist. Limited to 30, each cover is hand painted and each one is hand bound, giving it a personal touch and making you feel like your copy is one of a kind. Find this zine and more at Brandon's Tumblr.
Pork Magazine is full of all kinds of crazy weirdo awesome RnR and art things that you'd be hard pressed to find another rag like it. They rule for running such a sick setup (that you can also thumb through online!) and you're a fool if you don't pick up their new Motorhead Snaggletooth inspired tee! X - Jen
The newest issue of the highly sought after ANP Quarterly, a large format art and community focused publication, has been released and it looks great!

The free magazine founded by Aaron Rose, Ed Templeton, and Brendan Fowler is available at select retailers, bookshops, and record stores worldwide. - Jennilee
Treadlie is a fairly new cycling publication (it's in its 6th issue) that focuses on the lifestyle of cycling as appose to the sweaty and expensive world of racing as so many other publications do. Though the magazine comes from Australia, it was easy to find at a nearby major bookshop for perusal. I suggest seeking it out! -Bob
Illustrator, typographer, and graphic designer Jeremy Pettis can do no wrong. His intricate, candy-colored doodles and his retro typography showcased on his flickr are so awesome. You can check out his latest typography project, Twenty-Six Types Of Animals, on his personal website. He also has a new, cute looking zine out called Tres Leches. - Hazel
The second issue of Smith Journal hits newsstands this month, and features everything from Dave Eggers' top 10, Henry Rollins on books, Cold War spies, and pigs and potatoes.
Brea Souders' work is crisp, fresh and full of life. She's worked with numerous magazines (New York Magazine, Vice Magazine, and Vogue Paris to name a few) and her art never fails to catch your eye. If in the city, stop by MoMA's Millennium Magazines exhibit, which features a 35-page booklet of her art, running until May 14.
New online magazine, Megazine, asks fine artist painter Eleanor Swordy to catalogue and recreate her favorite pieces from The Metropolitan Museum of Art. In result, presented here are her studies and recreations. These are my favs, she's genius. -Maggie Lee
Ye Rin Mok (one of my favorite photographers) has released a new zine, titled 28 Pictures with Korea based SSE Projects. I love Ye Rin's sensitivity to color and simple wonders. The zine, which has been published in an edition of 500, can be purchased here. - Jennilee
MoMa has a new survey exhibit of contemporary experimental art and design magazines drawn from the museum's library. You can browse some of publications (like my personal favorites Apartmento and Bad Day) on the website for the exhibit here. - Hazel
Motorcycle art is some of my most beloved and for most people, you can't beat David Mann. North Carolina resident Gorgeous George, however, is currently killing it on all accounts (find some of his work inside the great Show Class Mag) and nothing would look better than one of his prints hanging on your wall.

Figure Magazine is a biannual and bilingual cultural journal that celebrates art, design, music, nature, and more by profiling 10 interesting individuals. The magazine is set to debut in June 2012, but Figure needs donations to get started! With art directors Côme de Bouchony and Vincent de Hoÿm heading Figure, I have a feeling this is going to be one awesome journal. - Hazel
