Catalogue note
UK local edition of VICE Volume 12 Number 5, corresponding to the global Volume 21 Issue 5 editorial package known as The Profiles Issue. The issue is visually anchored by Nick Veasey's X-ray punk/fashion cover and his first-ever fashion shoot for VICE, and includes profiles spanning Mikki Kendall and social-media-era feminist debate, José Mujica, underground filmmaker Nick Zedd, Jon Taffer and other subjects. As a free-distribution print object, it documents VICE at the height of its early-2010s print/digital hybrid model, with the rear American Apparel x Nathalie Du Pasquier advertisement adding period fashion/design context.
Why this object matters
Veasey’s X-ray fashion treatment and the Du Pasquier advertisement make a specific design-photography document alongside substantive profiles. Retain 8.7, with the claimed fashion first restricted to the verified VICE context.
Evidence limits: No new physical inspection or collation was performed. Copy-specific conclusions remain limited to the retained catalogue and accession evidence.
