Matchbook - March 2011 Issue No. 2

Matchbook Issue No. 2 is now live. I like the cover of this issue more than the first as I find it more contemporary & the colour really grabs my attention. The cover of the first issue was more dated than I had hoped.


I've had a brief flick through the 168 page issue and it looks very interesting. Highlights of this issue includes interviews with some very interesting people such as Pamela Keogh - author of Audrey Style, Jackie Style, Elvis Style & the recently released Are You A Jackie Or A Marilyn? I own the first three books & must say that if you are an Audrey fan, the Audrey Style book is wonderful.


Other personalities of note to be found are fashion's "prince of colour" - Chris Benz, who is this issue's cover subject. Graphic design maven, Abby Clawson Low, who previously worked as the Senior Art Director for the Kate & Jack Spade brands features also. Abby now heads her own design studio HI + LOW as well as being a partner of Partners & Spade which is Andy Spade's & Anthony Sperdutti's studio & concept store.


Kelly Galvin Robson of online vintage shop High Street Market makes an appearance as do Candice Pool & Soraya Sichenstedt of Finn Jewelry.


But there's so much more. So go take a look at Matchbook. It's a great read.
