BLOW - Issue 7 (1995)

About

'Blow' magazine, created and edited by James Pretlove and Michael Oliveira-Salac, emerged in the 1990s as a satirical take on the fashion world. Pretlove’s journalism career began with notable recognition in the Vogue talent contest, but his time at Vogue House ended with him deciding not to take fashion too seriously. This led to the creation of 'Blow' a cult hit known for its irreverent content and iconic 'in' and 'out' lists, satirical features, and humorous takes on high fashion. Noteworthy pieces included spoof fashion shoots, altered images of supermodels, and parodies of popular fashion advertisements. The magazine quickly gained a reputation for its bold and humorous critiques of the fashion industry.
