Sad news that art/culture/fashion platform BULLETT MEDIA is shuttering. Editor-in-chief IDIL TABANCA's farewell letter is heartfelt and funny, citing an unwillingness to continue in a media environment strained by the demands of algo feeds and quantity over quality. Titled "Conscious Uncoupling," it opens some questions about the future of what Tabanca labels "niche" media. I think about this often too, as many smaller, independent titles are gobbled up by larger companies or do little more than function as content mills for press releases. Luxury companies that have a stake in continually establishing fashion as a legitimate cultural form (particularly those with large advertising budgets), may need to take a better look at long-term strategies. It's all too easy to point out the failures and slow-footedness of legacy media, but some counterintuitive thinking is in order here. Should there be better commercial support of publications that create a diverse and thriving ecosystem of stories about fashion (and thus, companies and the people behind them?). If the industry could resist focusing on the impending doom, there'd be better room for creative thinking. And there are plenty of titles still doing great work: SYSTEM, 032C, CABANA, 1GRANARY, THE GENTLEWOMAN, 10 MAGAZINE, DOCUMENT, BON, and SURFACE are but a few. Pour one out for Bullett and have a look through some of their past features. Here's an interview and video I enjoyed featuring emerging designer and PARSONS alum JI WON CHOI. On the subject of magazines, former TIME writer JOE NOCERA wrote a nice essay on TIME INC's sale to MEREDITH... SHAUNE LEANE's amazing jewelry for the late LEE ALEXANDER MCQUEEN are headed to a SOTHEBY'S sale in collaboration with LONDON's KERRY TAYLOR AUCTIONS. Leane's pieces are some of the most stunning pieces created for the runway in recent years. I'm wondering how many corporate archives and museum collections will be competing with private bidders. Would you rather pieces go to a collection held in the public trust, a well-funded corporate archive, or an enthusiast collector? It's all up for grabs...
