Tipstarr
One of the best online design magazines in Japan has got to be PingMag -- please note that they do much more than just cover design -- and a recent piece took a look at a free paper project called Tipstarr, that covers luxury travel in Asia. Read the interview with Creative Project's Hiroyuki Hatakeyama for more on what the quarterly magazine is all about, but from the images that pepper the piece, it looks like a nice mix of stylish photography and sexy fashion spreads -- think Wallpaper* but with a strong focus on the nightlife and the sexy side of things. Issue 1 featured Vietnam, with the next two issues covering Thailand and Bali respectively, and the upcoming 4th issue will cover Malaysia. You can currently find it up in hair salons, certain hotels, select shops, even at Narita Airport, and they're also hoping to turn into an in-flight magazine for airlines, and also offer an English edition.
