Tar Magazine held it's first party last night which, of course, makes it's launch official.  In what is the perhaps worst time to get into print media, Evanly Schindler (BlackBook founder), and Maurizio Marchiori (former communications director for Diesel), have decided to forge ahead anyway.  Tar is "more of an art book than a magazine" with content as a mix of "art, culture, fashion, and social consciousness." The first issue is a 300 pager with a feature about overpopulation, weighty fashion ads and an editorial by Arianna Huffington.  Photographer Ryan McGinley has a 32 spread of nudes. [NY Mag]

The magazine will not be available online, but it's already got a bunch of hip supporters, including those that showed up for the launch party hosted by J. Lindeberg with Choice Productions at 508 Laguardia Place.
