With the temperature rising in Sydney today - a high of 25 degrees expected - we thought it the perfect time to release a preview of issue 04 as we hit the print button. Pictured above is new face Brandon Lund in what is a 10-page preview - the first of its kind in the world - of the spring/summer Z Zegna collection, the second under the direction of new creative director Paul Surridge, who spoke exclusively with Manuscript following the house's triumphant showing in Milan in late June.
The issue also features an in-depth look at the new album, Pacifica, from Australian electronic music outfit The Presets; profiles of fashion designer Jim Thompson of Three Over One, type artist Luca Ionescu, stylist and costume designer Matt Stegh, and visual artist Tim Moore. And that's without the fashion shoots, regular pages and, of course, our cover, which we're happy to keep a secret for now. The issue will be in stores next week and, for the first time, will be available in selected stores throughout Asia.
