The twenty-third issue of Stylefile, Germany's benchmark stylewriting magazine, published in the opening weeks of 2007 — a moment its editorial fixes precisely, opening on the storm Kyrill that had just torn across Europe and gathering two years' worth of submissions (some six gigabytes of it) up to a mid-January deadline. As ever, the magazine works from the writers' side: tightly edited, image-led, and committed to documenting the range of European stylewriting rather than chasing trends, with the usual dense run of trains, walls, productions and blackbook-minded work from home and abroad.
At its centre is an interview with SLAYER, alongside a Special Local dedicated to KENT and a close read of the German scene through CASH, CRAZY, CASHBOY183 and BREAK. A Stylefile vs. Writerz meeting with ECB — the German painter Hendrik Beikirch, known for his monumental grayscale portraits — rounds out the features, extending the magazine's habit of setting raw letters against more graphically ambitious work. A strong mid-run issue from the years when Stylefile was the reference point for European writing in print.
