They say you should never meet your heroes. Well, don’t believe what people tell you… in issue 6 of TON, we show you why you should MEET YOUR IDOLS, as we celebrate the people with star power who move us with their music, and make our dreams come true with design. For issue 6, TON has gone and done two covers, something we always said we would never do… but when you’ve got Mr Marc Almond smelling the roses, and Signor Alberto Alessi posing alongside a massive rubber duckie in his empty Alessandro Mendini swimming pool, smoking a cigar in a pair of Ray-Bans, frankly you would be an utter fool not to…And we don’t stop there, we get a private tour of the new Hermès Maison, visit icons of British tailoring, Paris couture, the London gallery scene, and artists who prove the fruits of pouring your life into your work. It’s time to get the autograph books out, darling ducks! List of featured people and contributors to note: Tom Hunter, Rupert Lycett Green, Guillaume Henry, Cassie Beadle (Cob Gallery), Lucy Stein, Rita McGurn, Soft Baroque, Kitty Travers (La Grotta Ices), Roland Beaufre, Camille Vivier, Marc Almond, Alberto Alessi PEOPLE AND PLACES WITH A POINT OF VIEW. TON is a proud alternative to dinosaur nonsense, and we continue to stick to our pledge: to champion fun, personality, individuality, originality, and to celebrate those who choose to live a different kind of life.
