I spent most of my morning enthralled by DIS Magazine, a year-old publication dedicated to deconstructing the norms of art, fashion and beauty. The magazine’s creators, Lauren Boyle, Solomon Chase, S. Adrian Massey III, Marco Roso, Patrik Sandberg, Nicholas Scholl and David Toro tend to take themselves a bit too seriously, but they introduce seriously creative, clever work into a scene they find uninspired. They certainly know how to laugh at the art world, even if they can’t laugh at themselves, and their fashion editorials are pretty fantastic. With their found-object looks, DIS teaches the überhip a lesson on überhip-dom, while giving the always worthwhile reminder that you don’t have to scour thrift, etsy and vintage stores to be creative—home goods, bodegas and electrical tape work just as well!
1. Hot towel wrap
Flamenco-inspired dress and bag, color block kaftan and cap-sleeve crop top, all from towels.
2. Environmentally friendly
Message tanks from plastic grocery bags. Love the nude!
3. Sharp in sharpie
Posing as a poser with home made iPod, cigarette and tattoos.
4. Whimsical wares
Hats from woven baskets, a skirt from a stool cushion and (my favorite!) a swing top from a sheer curtain.
