Above Magazine relaunch

Above Magazine relaunches
Tomorrow, December 10, sees the launch of the new-look Above Magazine.
Focusing on the environment and green lifestyle, the new issue features new artwork from American photographer and adventurer Peter Beard, who shot Eva Mendes for the cover; photographs by Gilles Bensimon; and eco-conversation between Tom Dixon and novelist Stephanie Theobald; other contributors include Ali Hewson and Sam Roddick. Nicolas Rachline, Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of Above Magazine says, ‘Our goal is to become the destination publication for information and inspiration about how to save beauty and preserve the environment on both collective and individual levels.’ Above Magazine is published quarterly by Centoria Limited.
“Responding to the urgent need for sustainable living, Above magazine calls upon the environmentally conscious and everyone else interested in the future by sharpening its focus on the endangered beauty of the world.
It is our firm belief that photography, the plastic arts, fashion, architecture and design can be instrumental in raising awareness about the need to preserve nature and we aim to share our opinionated, yet aesthetic vision, with our readers.
Our team is composed of people who believe that the evolution of our world and the people in it matters deeply; who value respect above all, for themselves, for others and for their surroundings, wherever they may be. Above magazine is made by and for those who recognize that the true appeal of beautiful objects and places derives from their inherent rarity and fragility. For them, desirable often means simple rather than extravagant, and living more responsibly without succumbing to self-righteousness is one of the greatest forms of sophistication.
Above is a new kind of lifestyle magazine. Our inspiration lies in the ever so diverse beauty of men and women, the preciousness of the earth and the challenges and opportunities of the future. We are committed to promoting an art of living that improves the environment without depriving daily life of its intrinsic pleasures. Our contributors are among the world’s great photographers and writers, who freely showcase here the splendours of a vanishing world and remind us of the immediate, vital, need to safeguard what remains of it.”
