ANTHEM

CURRENT ISSUE



#36 (Fall) Fall Fashion 2008

It seems like we can't spend a full day without stumbling on someone's premature obituary of print media. Anthem wants to prove that what seems impossible can be answered with what's least expected: bigger, bolder, brasher. We'd like to think we're running full throttle into the future with oversized ambition—critics and so-called common sense be damned.

Hence the newly refined publication. We've happily transitioned into a quarterly format, given ourselves a design face-lift and refined the editorial you've come to expect from Anthem: special projects, all-star contributors and content that looks as sexy in your hands as it does on your coffee table. This bigger picture reflects a symbiotic relationship that you, the reader, have necessitated and to which we, the magazine, have responded. In the end, we're all marching to the beat of the same drum.

STYLE

Fashion icon and all-around artiste Hedi Slimane captures the inner life and style of Beck for our inaugural quarterly issue. Then we take a look at the visual history of Guess, Brett Westfall's work with Comme des Garcons, the new Fred Perry/Raf Simmons collaboration, Zucca, and Dream On.

Keywords: Beck, Guess, Brett Westfall, Comme des Garcon, Fred Perry, Raf Simmons, Zucca

FILM

Check out TV On The Radio's intensely danceable Dear Science, and then read what front man Tunde Adebimpe has to say about playing the groom in Jonathan Demme's "Rachel Getting Married." Anthem also smokes out the story behind Humboldt County, goes head-to-head with the eccentric genius of Dennis Hopper, and plays dress up with the head costume designer for The Duchess.

MUSIC

We visit the Chinatown apartment of classical savant Nico Muhly, and Fleet Foxes pull their favorite cuts from Sub Pop's 20 year old archives. Also: Neil Halstead of Slowdive's solo outing, Teepee Records, and exclusive backstage photos from Prince's life on the road.

LIFE
