As we mentioned, the Vice Magazine fashion issue (pig and all) has hit the streets and as always, it’s a great read. In their city-vs.-city matchup, the magazine makes some bold claims about what’s in and what’s out across the globe. In a nutshell, it boils down to this:

Girls in NYC are sluts; boys are rockabilly
In Stokholm the boys are Xanax incarnate; girls don’t care
In Barcelona boys are dressing like girls and girls are dressing like boys
Melbourne boys are dressing up in a retro kind of way, and the girls are just copying years’ old trends
Girls in Montreal are cute [...]

There is so much serious, snooty editorial about fashion, we always appreciate when Vice comes out with its Fashion issue. Their most recent is no different. From the interview which hails Kai Kühne as a renegade fashion star before getting him to admit that he doesn’t understand fashion, to the article which claims in all seriousness that epaulettes (those ornament-like shoulder accessories on army uniforms) are the future of fashion, to the amazing cover featuring a wild pig (see above), the whole thing is a breath of fresh air.
