End of the line: Attitudes in Drawing

I had a day off yesterday. Timed really well with the downpour. So off I went to Bristol museum, to see End of the line: Attitudes in drawing. You should visit, some amazing pencil drawings on display.

The Face

Rumour has it that Bauer Media is considering re-launching The Face, however, they’ve neither denied or confirmed the suggestion and inevitably it's sparked much discussion online and in the Media Guardian yesterday. Apparently it may resurface next year as a free title or online, with talks taking place with former FHM editor Anthony Noguera. From what I've read, the general consensus seems to be that it's a pretty pointless venture, "how do you maintain the cachet if you give it away free?", asks a former Face staffer, surely the point of The Face was to create something iconic, stylish and the "benchmark of cool" which is pretty tricky when it's being handed out with ya copy of the metro. Fair enough, if it's only available in trendy shops but then it has no budget and loses its "editorial teeth". Personally I don't see the need to bring it back from the dead; it was like so many other things a reflection of the zeitgist. With i-D dropping from a monthly to bi-monthly publication in order to survive, it seems like a recipe for disaster considering the current climate. Taking it online seems to defeat purpose of what it set out to be in the first place, I think the "80's fashion bible" has had it's day.
