Ten years of Vangardist - growing up in style
Magazines come and go, but Vangardist is here to stay. Find the best of the previous ten years condensed into their anniversary edition "Boyhood to Mankind"
The Vienna-based magazine brands itself as the progressive man's magazine, and as we've covered in a previous article, they are no strangers to pushing the limits. Whether it’s ground-breaking covers containing actual human blood or moving from a digital to a printed magazine: Vangardist is always about taking chances.
As expected, it hasn’t always been easy, but as Julian Wiehl, co-founder and editor-in-chief mentions in the foreword of “Boyhood to Mankind”, it has always been worth it:

But these 10 years have given me the most wonderful moments you could imagine. I’ve learned that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side and that you have to be comfortable in your own garden.
Apart from this insight about the worth of staying true to yourself, the obvious fruits of their labours are now condensed in this impressive volume. Printed on Pergraphica Classic Rough, there are 272 pages filled to the brim with the best texts and photography of the past ten years. The sheer weight of the unit provides exactly the sort of heft you'd expect from an anniversary edition.
We’re sure that in another ten years, it'll have to hold an even bigger one.
