This is the very first issue of 'Marfa Journal' the yearly fashion / art journal masquerading as a magazine made by artists for artists. Inspired by the town Marfa in Texas, the backdrop for Larry Clarke's latest film 'Marfa Girl' and a cultural centre for contemporary artists and artisans, the journal is ' ... pure burning creative energy packed in paper and a screaming manifesto of creative insanity.' and is a ' ... platform which connects high end fashion and art.'.

The first release was limited to 2,000 copies worldwide - which is also the population of Marfa, Texas - and was covered by websites such as dazed, highsnobiety, huh. magazine, feedmyhabit and goodhood. This ssue is split into 6 sections (Raw, Casual, Decadent, Romantic, Obscure, Progressive) of a mix of photography, art and interviews.
