Literary magazine attracting UK hipsters, advertisers

Often what you read can say as much about your cool cred as your funky home
furnishings or your favorite local dive bar. In the United Kingdom, hip
authors such as Zadie Smith and Gwendoline Riley are taking on rock-star
status among the in-the-know elite.

And these informed readers are proudly touting Zembla, the "it" magazine of
the moment. Named after a fictional setting in Vladimir Nabokov's Pale
Fire, this new literary magazine is also attracting the design and fashion
crowds. The smart layout and artistic cover have not only lured devotees
but also advertisers such as Marc Jacobs, Jil Sander, Christian Dior, Paul
Smith and Issey Miyake. Who said bookworms had to look so bookish?
