'A manual resource for discovery'

New 'fashion, art, architecture and ideas' publication Crosscurrent holds within it a collection of alluring images, interviews and well- and lesser-known individuals. In fact, there's plenty to be found in this surprising, self-identified 'manual resource for discover.'

This second issue began with a line from Roland Barthes' Camera Lucida: 'The noise of time is not sad' and is applied both to Western culture and, most interestly, to the 'act of making a magazine, a temporal object whose creation is completely encumbered by time.' Featuring Ari Marcopoulos, Nikita Gale, Saskia de Brauw, Eliot Duncan – to name but a few.

And the name? 'Crosscurrent' noun. 'A conflicting tendency. A current running counter to the general forward direction.'
