DAZED & CONFUSED VINTAGE AT MATERIAL

Since Dazed & Confused began in 1992 as a limited-edition fold-out poster, the magazine has produced a monthly bounty of culturally diverse issues, extending it’s remit beyond fashion, film and music, covering local and international social and political themes.

This month, Dazed & Confused have teamed up with Material gallery and bookshop to bring you, for one month only, the chance to own an issue of the past that you may have missed and have been coveting for some time. With every purchase of the latest issue, Dazed and Material will be giving away a complimentary vintage copy of the magazine.

The promotion will be ongoing for the duration of the issue and will be launched at the gallery on the issue release date where we will also be holding an exhibition of Dazed cover posters which will be available to buy.

Join us for a drink on Thursday 15th July between 6-8pm

VELO: Bicylce Culture & Design

This book came into stock at Material a week ago but it flew out of the door so quickly, I didn't have time to blog about it.

Cycling is zeitgeist. With rising fuel prices and mounting ecological awareness, bicycle sales are significantly up. Activity became activism and then lifestyle. Moving on two wheels is now a movement.

Velo introduces a wild bunch of passionate cyclists – frame builders, urban planners, artists, photographers, and those who ride professionally – who are making an impact. They are not only shaping styles, but promoting cycling as a primary form of transport. The book also explores the aesthetic of today’s cycling culture and presents custom-made frames and art bikes as well as a selection of contemporary illustration and design influenced by the cycling movement. Geared toward anyone who has a personal or professional interest in cycling, Velo is the fast lane into a current topic that is both entertaining and socially relevant.

A striking visual journey into the multifaceted world of cycling and the diverse tribes that inhabit it, Velo ranges from hardcore 2-wheel globetrotters, downtown messengers on fixed-gear bikes without brakes, laid back pedallers on old-fashioned Dutch bicycles, fashionable cyclists on vintage racing bikes, and dedicated fans of high-tech racing machines and e-bikes.
