Pen Magazine is possibly the largest men's fashion magazine in Japan.
Issue number 147 released in 2005 had a British 60's theme to the fashion editorial, focusing on three cities with strong connections to the 60's...London, Brighton and Liverpool. Nick Brown, a Liverpool / London based photographer, and I were asked to help out with the Liverpool section, finding all the locations and models, and making sure everything went as smooth as possible for the Liverpool section, working closely with the art director and photographers. Our local knowledge helped us supply everything from from food (Kimos kebabs went down a treat) to transport (my Uncle Terry's executive travel service, aka 'Terry's Taxis'!). The editor and art director were that impressed with the Liverpool section that it was increased in size and even made the cover. I also made a cameo appearance in the only clothes that would fit...a 60's police uniform!
PEN is a great fashion magazine for the young and the young in spirit.
