Distill Magazine, New from Designer Tom Dixon

One sign that old media might not be dead yet: famed furniture designer Tom Dixon has decided to have a go at running a magazine called Distill. The bi-monthly publication will have a fashion focus.

Along with the broad selection of fashion and art photography, each issue of Distill will contain expert commentary on the chosen stories, and include checklists of exhibitions, shows, new trends, book reviews and critiques of events happening around the globe. But as Distill’s creative and publishing director, Christoper Lockwood says,

This is not a fashion magazine about hemlines, it is about the way fashion is presented globally.

The magazine world won’t be completely new venture for Dixon. He has served on the editorial board of Elle Decoration (UK). The challenge for Distill looks to be appealing to designers and creatives and not getting lost in the wash of other fashion titles.

Issue 1 of Distill should already be available in the UK. Look for it to appear at Universal News in NYC early next week.
