editor's letter
Please give it up for Cult of Self Magazine Issue 05, in partnership
with Levi’s®! Our fully digital magazine is tailored so that you can
choose how you want to experience the well-balanced content.
Interaction is key for progression… So we expanded on this. Inside
these pages you’ll now be able to start a convo, join in on one, or
simply leave your mark! Ideal for iOS, Android on both mobile and
tablets!
We’re not yet done talking updates! Introducing RANKED and
RATED, our regular that gives you a 360-degree digital showdown
of street culture products. Skate, Ink, Bike and all that is street sub
culture… Rate each product/concept yourself with our clickable 1-5
stars.
Put time aside for our thought-provoking video exclusive with
founders of 20sk8, a skate collective formed 12 years ago in South
Africa’s Cape Flats – a former apartheid ‘dumping ground’. They talk
roots, challenging old mentalities, the notorious 28s gang, and their
dogged love for the ‘brotherhood’ and skating.
Sandrine Pagnoux, Parisian graphic artist, shares her inspirations
with us in an interview that is textured in candour and presented
with fierce, fragile beauty. Her work presents portraits of duality,
created using handcrafts, computer illustration, photographs and
traditional media.
Bring out the bubbly as we announce the winner and finalists of the
“el Jimador 100% Agave Surfboard” competition, celebrate Lady
Levi’s® 80-Year Anniversary, and give you the chance to claim the
coveted cover star title for our summer edition. Let’s break it down…

Saving the best for last (well, it’s definitely up there!). In this issue
we launch the INKED Cover Contest! We are searching for
someone charismatic, and INKED, to feature on the cover of our
summer edition. Not only could you win this great opportunity, but
you will also be professionally photographed, get a bottle of el
Jimador tequila, get kitted out head-to-toe in Levi’s® gear, and walk
away with an A2 canvas of the cover. So, if you have tattoos, what
are you waiting for? Enter now…
