032c is a fashion magazine for the 21st century The missionis to inform, provoke, and activate the imagination. The 032c universe is a place for freedom, research, and creativity, where fantasy is reality, aspiration is attainment, and everything is culture in the making. And, like any universe, 032c is expanding. Issue 48 “We are inspired by excellence, and we don’t think there’s enough of it in the world, especially in the current political and cultural climate." -Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross / Nine Inch Nails The dossier in Issue #48 functions as the unofficial Peel It Back tour book. Cassidy George speaks to NINE INCH NAILS members TRENT REZNOR and ATTICUS ROSS, as well as the tour’s creative director TODD TOURSO, and explores the history of the band through the concert setlist. Serving as both memorabilia and archive, it also examines why Nine Inch Nails' ideas are "some of the most pillaged in the industry." In Sacramento, photographer Jack Bridgland and creative director Tal Midyan capture DEFTONES and their cult fanbase in a story (featuring interviews with all five members) about how the band redefines youth culture, while being in their fifties.
