Beginning as a low-budget, oversized fanzine in 1996, index magazine quickly became one of the most influential small publications in the United States. index had a smart and irreverent voice that epitomized the late '90s indie ethos. Featuring conversations between architects, artists, celebrities, designers, filmmakers, musicians and writers, the magazine brought together some of the most relevant cultural figures who were at that time young and often unknown, yet have since become cultural icons or celebrities. Some of these names include Bjork, Scarlett Johansson, Alexander McQueen, Rem Koolhaas, and David Sedaris, and photographs by cutting-edge photographers such as Leeta Harding, Terry Richardson, Juergen Teller, Wolfgang Tillmans, and Ryan McGinley. Paying homage to Generation X's it glossy, index A to Z features the best interviews and photographs by the most celebrated artists and celebrities that were featured in the iconic index magazine. This A to Z index captures the spirit of an era, with F for Fashion, featuring designers Kate Spade and Marc Jacobs, and I for Indie with Harmony Korine and John Waters, and other sections including Royalty,Vanished, and X-Rated, this volume is packed with index's most memorable interviews and greatest photos of the time, including previously unpublished outtakes and party pictures. A new interview with Halley and Nickas, a reminisence by Bruce LaBruce, and a historical overview by Wendy Vogel offer further looks behind the scenes. Index A to Z celebrates the uncompromising personalities, humor, and DIY brilliance of the indie generation.

index A to Z Reviews

...index A to Z: Art, Design, Fashion, Film, and Music in the Indie Era, a glossy and fun collection that really captures the spirit of this fruitful period in underground culture. -Style.com

...particular slice of history is inventively retold in a new book, Index A to Z, which eschews simple chronology in favor of eclectic categories, from Advertising to Zeitgeist (the latter including some classic party shots of Ryan McGinley and infamous literary hoax artist JT Leroy). -ArtInfo

There was a radical realism to it all that made you feel close to the glamourous people that mattered to you, as though they were just like you, and one day, you might be able to join them. Flipping through Rizzoli's retrospective book today, the effect is just the same. -Fader Magazine
