Anja Rubik Debuts 25 Magazine's "Erotic" Issue

Justin Fenner — Thu, 24 May 2012 12:33:20 PDT

The newest issue of 25 magazine, which Anja Rubik helms with her husband Sasha Knezevic, features 300 pages of fashion photos tinged with an "erotic twist."

The couple launched the issue at a party Wednesday night in Cannes. Rubik described the issue as "more of a book than a magazine" and said that its ad-free pages are dedicated to women photographers including Annie Leibovitz, Ellen von Unwerth, and Corrine Day.

"It's mainly a fashion magazine, but with an erotic twist," Rubik explained, adding that she took inspiration from '70s issues of Viva, Playboy, and Penthouse. "I think it's balanced quite well. There's a lot of fashion. The stylists had a lot of liberty to play around with clothes, and there was no list of credits they had to follow or anything like that."

In fact, whoever styled the cover photo - which Knezevic tweeted yesterday - opted not to use clothes at all. The same goes for a 15-second teaser video clip for the issue called Kiss, seen below.

Rubik and Knezevic started working on 25 in 2009, when one of Knezevic's friends acquired it and asked him for help. Knezevic is now the magazine's editor-in-chief and creative director, and Rubik serves as fashion and art director. Take a look at some of their work below.

>> After five consecutive Chanel campaigns - ending with the Fall 2011 set styled by Carine Roitfeld - it sounds like Freja Beha Erichsen's reign has come to an end. Roitfeld and Karl Lagerfeld reteamed over the weekend at the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, France, where Lagerfeld shot Saskia de Brauw and Joan Smalls for the Spring 2012 Chanel ads, which are “all about athletics and the sea. . . . It’s very modern sportif and in black and white,” according to the designer. He is now headed to Rome to shoot Fendi's Spring 2012 campaign with Arizona Muse, who will pose on the city's streets at dawn and dusk. She replaces Anja Rubik, who has been the face of Fendi for the past four seasons. [WWD]
