Neville Brody and Research Studios have collaborated on the 33rd edition of mens’ fashion title Arena Homme+ with Editor in Chief Jo-Ann Furniss and her team.

The inspiration for this edition came from the notions of time and travel. In her editor’s letter Furniss comments “The initial premise of this edition of Arena Homme+ was ‘Home and Away’ – not the cheap Australian soap sponsored by BrightHouse, but the notion of where many of the contributors began and where the have travelled to, both in their lives and their careers, both literally and metaphorically.”

Brody has designed a custom font ‘RS Champions’ for this edition which is juxtaposed with supporting font Mercury to create Neo-Classical layouts and story introduction pages. Cover star Oliver Sim of the XX was shot by David Sims and resulting image combined with simple, clean and structured typography. Brody reinstated the original Arena logo as a personal nod to his point of beginning as the original Art Director of the sister title in 1986.

Brody was supported by Research Studios’ designer George Sheldrake and project manager Phil Rodgers in the design and production of the magazine.

Edition 33 features work by an eclectic mix of internationally renowned photographers, stylists and writers including Don McCullin, David Sims, Bruce Weber, Juergen Teller, Panos Yiapanis, Alasdair McLellan, Willy Vanderperre, Olivier Rizzo, Angelo Pennetta, Jane How, Jon Savage, Paul Morley and Laura Houseley.
