Twin - a bi-annual magazine and a website - launches this week.

Issue one is complete and available to buy now in places such as Colette and Dover Street Market. The style book features a poetry portfolio curated by the first female poet laureate, Carol Ann Duffy, plus Miranda July’s imaginings on a female future and photography by Todd Selby, Boo George and Garance Doré.

 

In the meantime view the website (designed by Catch digital) with making off videos and blogs on www.twinfactory.co.uk. Social media wise Twin does it all with a fan page on Facebook, a Twitter profile and Flickr account.

Who is the team behind Twin then? Editor in chief Becky Smith was the founder and former creative director of the mag Lula; art editor Francesca Gavin does double duty at Dazed & Confused and Elle U.K, and features editor Aimee Farrell works by day at British Vogue. Online editor is Hianta Cassam Chenai, former creator of the successful blog Fluokids. For my part I am blogging and working with Hianta on the online promotion, I call it digital PR.
