Nuts is the latest publication from Richard Turley and his Food team—including Bertie Brands, last heard of on Mushpit—and nothing to do with the early noughties lads mag. An anxiety-inducing mass of monochrome pages of image and texts that seems to be a fashion magazine but clearly isn’t a fashion magazine. No big-name snappers, stylists or models, just a bunch of friends imagining how to make a fashion magazine. Think a book-format Civilization in pictures. This (even chunkier) sophomore issue, titled ‘If You're Awake, I'm Awake’, introduces a single glossy photograph onto the previously bare front cover, with texts by Isabelle Rea and a series of sculpted figurines interspersed across the see-through pages. Deputy editor Echo Wu also makes an appearance, sharing a cinematic kiss with partner Gabriel on the final spread, New York in the backdrop. nuts.international
