Dear Shaded Viewers,
The new publication presents fashion as a curatation scanning the past, present and future and reaching across periods and disciplines with the use of orighinal documents and conversations with artists, thinkers and designers. De Rigueur attempts to re-define the idea of fashion beyond "what's hot right now" and the normal circus of the fashion world. Their approach is critical, intellectual, artistic, sometimes humorous and always rigorous.
De Rigueur also plans to hold events, presentations, pop-up stores, symposiums, exhibitions, film festivals, in order to expand the ideas discussed in the publication and reach a wider 'real life' audience.
The magazine will publish 8 to 10 times a year, each structured around a theme (Young Tokyo designers, Cult post-punk artist Toshio Nakanishi, Identity, New fashion photography…) It will be available both in English and Japanese in the Amazon Kindle store (Kindle reader, iPhone, iPad PC, Mac, Android) for 2.99 USD.
