Exploring London’s DIY Zine Revolution

You may have already guessed it, but we’re mad about magazines. If you’ve got something to say, there’s no better way to say it than shouting it out loud on the printed page. In our latest film, i-D meet the creative minds behind Polyester, LAW and Mushpit, three keep-it-on-your-bookshelf-thick-papered-zines for the 21st century, born out of love, sweat, tears, late nights and paper cuts. It’s often said that the print industry is collapsing, but that’s only made this new generation of editors and magazine aficionados more resilient and determined to grow something beautiful out of the hard ground. In our fast paced digital age, print is more precious than ever before, a pause in our ever busy world. Something to have and to hold from issue one, for better, for worse, for richer, for paper, until death do us part.
