About the Author

King Kong is the name of a creative collective, formed by the owners of the eponymous shop in Milan at the beginning of the new millennium. With a Do It Yourself philosophy, the group extensively produced fanzines, clothes, publications, photographs, art shows, events, and music. The founders of the project are Federico Sarica and Ivano Atzori. In 2005, they decided to close the shop in favour of fresh experiences and the opportunity to spread the philosophy of King Kong to a wider audience. Federico Sarica (co-founder of King Kong) is the associate editor of Vice magazine in Italy and collaborates with Rodeo, The End and Rolling Stone, Italy. His partner, Ivano Atzori is a renowned Italian writer and artist.
