The Royal Magazine & The Designer Capitalist

The Royal Magazine is a insider publication we picked up at an opening party for the 555 Soul store in Williamsburg last week. Now on its fifth issue, the slick magazine focuses on "Collisions-Culture-Capitalism". Found in select locations globally or online, the latest issue crams so much attitude from up and coming ‘Designer Capitalists’ that any youth marketer will turn red faced from the embarrassment they’d probably feel when they compare and contrast their own feeble attempts at connecting with youth culture. As the Forward says:

"The money made me do it."

Welcome to a new era, a time of limitless luxury never before seen by any other generation, anywhere, at any point.

Through the aid of technology, we can access a truly global market, command a massive audience, and shatter the control that the old, dying corporate machine has on youth culture.

Enter the new Designer Capitalist. They are the vanguards of a new wave of thinking, a cut and paste aesthetic, and new methods of production, marketing and distribution.
