Climax

In honour of Valentine’s Day, THE FACE have put together a list of the hottest, sexiest, steamiest photobooks available right now. Erotica, homoerotica, rare Japanese gems, first-time snogs and DIY zines – we’ve got ’em all.

It’s not another teen movie. It’s a new age, twenty-something angst. Thanks to Heaven by Marc Jacobs, Beabadoobee, Brian Molko and Kathy Acker, ’90s nostalgia is totally rad again.

To celebrate the launch of its latest collection, Isabella Burley, founder of cult book distributor Climax, speaks to Ava Nirui about the teenage fashion fantasia of Heaven by Marc Jacobs.

To celebrate Climax’s six-month birthday, Isabella Burley, the independent distributor and founder of all things erotic, selects her top picks from the latest release: rare pop culture ephemera, saucy books, Japanese periodicals, a VHS tape and more.
