tank magazine has always been such an inspiration not in terms of captivating covers with seductive blondes a la vogue paris, nor because of experimental on-the-verve-of-tasteless editorials a la self service. it is an amazing blend of intelligence and surprising wisdom one can merely associate with fashion publication (it's fashion/artzine to be precious). just as the absolute favorite berlin-based 032c magazine, tank feels clynically smart and undashebly serious without being snob. this is the format someone like me would dare to dream of being part of.
