2nd Magazine

2nd Magazine is something of a staple for the fashion conscious in Japan. This monthly release focusses on vintage American style as well as the best of Japanese fashion. Ever informative, 2nd always has great pictures and a brilliant insight into the topics they cover.

The August 2012 issue has a definite 'blue' theme running through it, picking out the best of the best in every shade and pattern imaginable, from navy blazers and suede shoes to indigo denim and bandanas, plus a range of blue accessories from bags and belts to turquoise jewelry. As usual the photography is brilliant and the content as in depth as anything you'll find, including an exhaustive guide to t-shirts, and a feature on the finest gentleman's umbrellas.
