TRANSMISSION ISSUE #1 TEXTURE MAY 2011
TRANSMISSION Transmission magazine is a bi-annual publication created by stylist Sophie Beer. The definition of Transmission is the conveyance of information from one space to another, which is the aim of the magazine. It is a source of inspiration that can be accessed by other creative individuals. Each issue is based on a different theme or concept, the first issue focuses on texture. From covering the body in Clingfilm to net curtains, Transmission takes a unique approach to styling to create visually appealing and interesting images.
Editors Note Welcome to Transmission magazine After many hours shredding garments, attaching safety pins (all 1,700 of them) and editing photos Transmission magazine is finally here. Transmission’s purpose is to share ideas and inspire individuals to create new and unusual looks. As a stylist I take inspiration from many different things but I am fascinated by tattoos and the idea of decorating the body. With this in mind the launch issue focuses on texture and covering the body in pre-existing materials, using cling film and a set of net curtains to garments covered in brillo pads and excessive amounts of safety pins. The pages of Transmission are littered with an eclectic range of images, lyrics and quotes, you can check out the inspiration list for this issue and what was listened to during the creation of Transmission on pg.5.
