The magazine SANG BLEU is part of a multidisciplinary project that encompasses, fashion, fetish,
visual arts & performances but a distinctive feature of Sang Bleu remains
its bound existence. Within the magazine seemingly contrasting topics like fetish
& fashion to rap culture & music combine.
Betony Vernon serves as the official editor
of fetish matters, which notably includes a feature on Bruce argue aka ESINEM,
a master of rope bondage. Fashion activist Jason
Farrer and photographer Adrian
Wilson lead fashion collaborations and contributions from Michèle Lamy, Dior Homme stylist Mauricio
Nardi, make up artist Isamaya
French, Zana Byne, Char Alfonzo, and
designer of Givenchy’s infamous Bird of
Paradise pattern Simon Cook.
These high fashion stories form a dialogue with a series of interviews
exploring style and creative impulse with rappers Apathy, Booba, Bushwick Bill, Nacho Picasso, Paul Wall, Stalley, and Styles P each representing a distinct niche in hip-hop
and regional background.
Tattooing is an eminent part
of Sang Bleu project. Issue 6 documents French tattooers Laura Satana
and Tin Tin, the lettering of BJ Betts and Stephanie Tamez, fresh American styles from Mark Cross and Robert Ryan,
