The Fashematics Anniversary Zine
- story Chioma Nnadi
Jonathan Zawada makes up one-third of Trust Fun, the Australian design collective we interviewed in FADER #64. Besides designing psychedelic fractal scarves and googly-eyed rockmen, he also mans the endlessly fascinating Fashematics, a website that breaks down the season’s latest runway looks into hilarious and absurdist equations. For example, take a fortune cookie and cross it with the Virgin Mary, and what you end up with is Alexander McQueen Spring 2010! He’s created a limited-edition commemorative zine to mark the anniversary of his 50th fashion conundrum, which features Karl Lagerfeld on the cover as a mean looking android, and some fabulously dressed robot and zombie models on the inside. If that takes your fancy, then back issues of Petit Mal, Trust Fun’s fashion comic will probably blow your Burberry socks off too.

Trust Fun’s Glory Scarves and Rockmen
- story Peter Macia
Sydney-based design group Trust Fun has settled on our browser homeland and is proceeding to construct permanent residence as if it were its god-given right. Which is fine with us because if we learned anything from Baz Luhrmann’s Australia, it can only end up wonderfully, especially if they continue to dazzle and confuse us with such wide-ranging creations as their intensely psychedelic Glory Scarves, volcanic Rockmen, amazing Petit Mal high fashion comic book/zine thing and weirdly precise fashion arithmetic blog Fashematics. To see where two of Trust Fun’s creators Jonathan and Annie Zawada (along with Shane Sakkeus) come up with all this awesomeness, check out The Selby’s recent visit to their home, and see a few more scarves and rocks after the jump.
