We have printed, sealed and delivered. After weeks of preparation our team have produced our first magazine which has every inch of quality that we had hoped.
The New Order is a new quarterly art and fashion magazine, featuring exclusive content from all around the world. Talented and high profile writers and photographers from Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia and many other corners of the globe have contributed to The New Order, making for a magazine that is quite unlike anything else. 
The first issue of The New Order is packed full of great interviews with prominent figures from both the art and fashion worlds, indicative of the magazine's philosophy to look behind the fashion and art and examine the people responsible for making it. Ian Astbury of The Cult, Shawn Mortensen, Richard Prince, Dan Colen, Nate Lowman, Hiroshi Fujiwara, Jose Parla, Keiichi Nitta, Nonnative, Nexus VII, Dr Romanelli, Band of Outsiders, Wood Wood, Bless, Henrik Vibskov, Comme Des Garcons, Visvim, Cassette Playa, Eric Elms, Geoff McFetridge and O.H.W.O.W. represent just a small portion of the people and brands featured in this packed first issue. The New Order also contains regular columns by Fraser Cooke, Aaron 'A-Ron the Downtown Don' Bondaroff, and Aaron Rose amongst others, providing a unique insight into the musings of several iconic figures of street culture, art and fashion. 
Issue One is out now!!
 Available online at slamxhype.com/tno-mag and honeyee.com , and in stores worldwide in the coming weeks.

A magazine that will hold its relevance in years to come, a collectors book rather than current suggestions. A huge step forward in the print world, this one will take you by storm. Promise x

The past month for me has consisted of late nights and early mornings. I am sleep deprived and have grown a love/hate relationship with my computer, BUT.. it is all worth it! Keeping it as secret as I can... There is a new magazine coming to your shelves that will blow your socks off. I promise. There are some amazing people involved and a fantastic team behind The New Order Magazine. 
Having gone to print this week, this is all I can share..... at this point. x

Stay tuned for MORE!

Scientists have discovered a new forest with never seen before species living there all on Google Earth! It was one of the few places on the planet that remained unmapped and unexplored. Who would have though putting satelites around our globe would lead to an untouched rain forest in the middle of the desert!!!! So now Mozambique's Mount Mabu has been unravelled for the world to see. With new types of snakes and chameleon lizards, this mountain has become the camp ground to the worlds biggest scientists....

We have been doing some great road trips around our North Island over the last few weekends as the weather gets warmer and warmer down here. I love getting out of the city and getting to explore this beautiful country I live in. New Zealand's east coast is the master of producing wonderful beaches, one of which is Mount Manganui. We visited here last weekend and did some amazing coastal walks around the mountain..

Following on from Reggie's post on TAR Magazine, I have just looked through the magazine myself and was blown away. Never have I seen such a well put together book, not only aesthetically but in terms of content and contributors too.

The creative within TAR Magazine, directed by Neville Wakefield, is like the team decided that they would create the worlds best arts/culture magazine and push any boundary that any previous magazine has created before now. From the transparent paper inserts to photography by Terry Richardson and Juergen Teller, this movement mag curates you through our socially conscious world of right now.

It seems that every new page turned is a surprise and an inspiration. What a wonderful hour.
TAR only comes out twice a year, so if you haven't already got hold of the first issue, be first in line for the next.

'It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, 
it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness. It was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity.
It was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.
We had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way.'


A fresh start today, lets hope it calls a halt to our current state.
Adam Bryce ( from Slamxhype) and Ben King are founders of New Zealand's first blogging site. The Wire showcases New Zealand's finest from artists, musicians, writers, chefs and more. With daily blogs, news and features, up's and down's, and the latest from the boys, The Wire produces a platform for the rest of the globe to check out our countries talent. 

I attended their launch last week at Croydon Photography Studios, with performances by White Birds And Lemons and a solo show by Kirsten Morelle (from New Zealand band Goldenhorse). Big congrats to the boys for a great night and not running out of alcohol. x
