Dasha Zhukova and Shala Monroque’s New Magazine Garage Features a Lily Donaldson Puppet, Lettuce McQueen and Tattooed Labia

After her brief and less than well-received stint as Pop‘s editor-in-chief, it sounds like Dasha Zhukova has finally found a place to do her fashion-meets-art thing her way. Her new magazine, Garage, debuts for fall 2011 and the New York Times‘ Eric Wilson got a preview.

The art collector, fashion designer, and girlfriend of Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, named the magazine after the Garage Center for Contemporary Culture, a museum she opened in Moscow in 2008.
