TANK TOO
Edited by Masoud Golsorkhi and Andreas Laeufer
Showcasing the best and brightest young photographers, illustrators, and stylists
that have graced the large-format Tank magazine since 2002
PAPERBACK ORIGINAL
Since its inception in 1998, Tank magazine has been at the vanguard of
fashion publishing. Initially published in a small-format "bookzine," it
signaled a new era of the small print-run, highly tailored style publishing
that was innovative in both its experimental art direction and design and
its introduction of photojournalism and fine art. Such is its influence
that the magazine was exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art's first
exhibition devoted exclusively to fashion photography in the summer
of 2004.
Tank magazine has cult appeal, shapes tastes, and dares to be resolutely
different.The successful first Tank book featured the highlights of the
magazine's first three years and has become a standard resource for talent
scouts.This second chapter in the Tank phenomenon lends even greater
credibility to the magazine's canny ability to point to fashion's future.
Iranian-born Masoud Golsorkhi studied photography at the University
of Westminster in London before working as a fashion photographer for
such publications as Interview, Jalouse, Numero, and Harpers & Queen.
German-born Andreas Laeufer studied communication design and worked
as an art director for advertising agencies in Germany and Switzerland
before becoming a freelance art director for fashion companies such as
Hugo Boss and Joop!. After moving to London Laeufer met Golsorkhi,
and they launched Tank magazine in 1998.
