Collection: Gert Jonkers

Gert Jonkers (born 1967) is a Dutch editor, writer and co-founder, with Jop van Bennekom, of BUTT Magazine, established in Amsterdam in 2001. Jonkers has worked as a journalist and editor across fashion, culture and lifestyle publishing, contributing to titles including Fantastic Man, which he co-founded with van Bennekom in 2005. His editorial sensibility — characterised by directness, warmth and a consistent refusal of the ironic distance typical of fashion and lifestyle media — was central to both publications’ identity. BUTT ran until 2011 and is recognised as one of the most influential independent magazines of the 2000s for its role in shaping queer visual culture and independent editorial practice.
