10 copies of the newest issue of cult favorite magazine Real Review have recently arrived at Archinect Outpost. With a focus that straddles the line between design and politics and a memorable tagline ('What it means to live today'), Real Review has quickly developed a following.

Of particular interest with the newest issue is its surprising list of contributors. The issue starts off with an interview conducted between Real Review editor-in-chief Jack Self and Chelsea Manning, the former United States Army soldier who famously disclosed nearly 750,000 military and diplomatic documents to WikiLeaks. Given that the theme of issue 8 is 'Against from Within,' Self asks Manning about her exposure of military secrets while under its employment. "We are increasingly seeing risky and aggressive confrontational approaches to activism," she responded.

Further into the issue, Self interviews Virgil Abloh, the DJ, musical producer and fashion designer behind Off-White and the current artistic direction of Louis Vuitton. Self and Abloh have a philosophical discussion about the commitment to reality in an increasingly ambiguous political climate that leads into a discussion of how to impart irony into fashion and design in general.

Other notable contributors include Shumon Basar, Pier Vittorio Aureli and German photographer Wolfgang Tillmans.
