In the ‘80s, there was no internet, so magazines were the only way to access youth culture. Until then, music and fashion magazines were separate entities, so there weren’t any magazines that mixed music and fashion like The Face did. It was a time when the only way to get information was through books, so I would go to the bookstore nearly every day. What other magazines were you reading at the time?įujiwara: I was reading the music magazine New Musical Express, and also Japanese magazines like POPEYE and an-an. So I was completely engrossed in reading it. The Face featured people I liked at the time, like Vivienne and Malcolm, and had a lot of covers with artists I liked, like. I was fascinated by the fact that it covered a range of cultural topics from music to fashion, spanning across the established and the underground. There weren’t any other magazines with color photos of indie pop stars, so I can vividly remember when I first laid eyes on The Face. RECORD MIRROR was also in color, but it mainly focused on music, and it was a tabloid. What was your first impression of The Face?įujiwara: That there was finally a quality magazine in color. At the time, I was going through a phase where I was basically only interested in stuff coming out of London. They had it at the clothing and record stores I would go to. Hiroshi Fujiwara: Around when it first came out. The Face was the first magazine to fuse everything from fashion to music.
