"Mushpit is a London-based magazine put together by what I imagine are two best friends who have a similar passion for clashing colours, iron-on patches, fizzy drinks and hilarious counterfeit clothes. Former Vice Fashion Editor Bertie Brandes and stylist Charlotte Roberts founded the magazine in 2011, and since then it’s been described as ‘J-17 meets Private Eye’, which actually sums up the publication very well. It’s confident, satirical, silly and also fiercely political in places, with lots of clip-art typography, girls dressed in prom dresses and sassy advice columns bursting from the shiny, colour-saturated pages.
Most of the content is a parody of what you’d find in mainstream publications, but it’s also a re-imagining of what was so great about teen magazines, only less patronising and with a lot more punch."
Mushpit magazine is something I have been following ever since Simon introduced us to them during his lecture.
I literally fell in love with the magazine.
The layout.
The colour palettes.
The imagery.
The irony and humour.
And the fact Britney was on the first issue just makes my life.
I've been following their instagram and I hope to be able to grab a copy of their next issue.
