VENICE, Calif.—In a time when reports of print media is on its death bed are common, along comes Black Label Magazine.
Black Label's latest issue—Issue X: The Decadent Issue—features Darcie Dolce on the cover and in a 24-page spread along with half a dozen other models.
The limited edition magazine measures 9.5” x 12”, larger than standard magazines. It comes with a glossy cover, thick pages and elegant packaging. Readers also may access the magazine via digital download to both the .pdf issue and Darcie’s video “The Spinner.”
Black Label Magazine is the product of Lincoln Mark Lease, who started shooting local models in the Portland area and by the 10th issue is shooting models from around the world, including some of adult's biggest stars.
“It’s been quite a process putting all of this together, a lot of unique challenges,” Lincoln said. “I feel like it’s the revival of artcore, bringing back something that I think has gotten lost as adult content has transformed in recent years. I’m very passionate about the product and it’s important for me to have control over every aspect as I try to create a magazine that reflects my vision. That includes everything from selecting and photographing the models, the art direction, the lighting, to the magazine’s layout and the paper it’s printed on and everything in-between. I’m fully responsible for the results and I like it that way.”
The print issue has 120 pages and features Darcie Dolce, Verronica Kirei, Dasha U, Juliette Jadot, Sophia Depoorter, Dane Halo and Willow Marie Lane. This edition also includes a travel feature on French Polynesia.
