"With Issue 12, SWINDLE’s got an exclusive interview with the street art collective Faile, who brought femininity and escapism to the urban landscape. We take a look at the “cool school” of Los Angeles’ Ferus Gallery—the prototype rebel stars of the art world from the ‘50s and ‘60s who created the “template of the brilliant, bohemian bad boy before Dylan even thought about plugging in.” We report on the rising problem of opium addiction in Afghanistan; celebrate Ghana’s 50th anniversary of independence; and look back at the history of Detroit hardcore music. SWINDLE’s got page after page of crazy-sexy-cool fashion—from Danilo Hess’s classic, minimalist black and white photography, to Christopher Glancy’s hipster paradise and Elizabeth Perrin’s avant-garde menswear spread. And, as always, we deliver this sophisticated content with cutting-edge layout and design courtesy of Shepard Fairey’s Studio Number-One."
