The story of ELASTE is the story of a movement - that of the New Wave generation in West Germany. Founded in 1980 in Hanover, the magazine was a beacon of cultural revolt and the first glossy indie magazine of the Federal Republic: self-published, a statement somewhere between pop avant-garde, subversion, and a sharp sense of style. Among those who shaped the look and spirit of the magazine were Jon Savage, Ellen von Unwerth, and Diedrich Diederichsen. No other magazine operated at the intersection of music, fashion, and society quite like ELASTE -- with headliners such as Warhol, The Rolling Stones, and Kraftwerk. This book by the magazine's editors Thomas Elsner and Michael Reinboth, looks back -- at the pioneering spirit, the minds, and the stories behind the magazine.
