Launching on 2 November, Perfect Bound is a new bi-annual print publication which will explore art, culture, people, photography, music, travel, fashion and beauty. Each volume of Perfect Bound will be themed, with the first issue focusing on interpretations of wildness, from pioneering anti-nuclear activists and counter culture photography to wild swimming, raw beauty and fashion that takes the reader off-the-beaten-track.

Contributors to the first issue include Wendy Carrig, Piers Golden, John Rowley, Robin Broadbent, Graham Keen and Elizabeth Gibson, Nitin Sawhney and Michael Birt.

The team includes: Daniel Dumoulin, publisher; Karena Callen, editor (formerly beauty director of ELLE and Red); Geoff Waring, design and art director (previously creative director at ELLE, Red, Vogue, Glamour); and Shelly Vella, style & creative director (previously fashion director at Cosmopolitan).

Perfect Bound will be available by subscription and through specialist booksellers including Tate, Selfridges and Wardour News.
