The rare first issue of "A Magazine Curated By", a publishing project for which fashion designers are invited to act as guest editors, filling each issue with a personal selection of their own material, expressing their aesthetic and cultural values. The leitmotiv of this issue is "the extended creative life and the expression of the house of Maison Martin Margiela" wherein the magazine acts as a reunion of staff members, collaborators, collectors, models, photographers, artists and film makers to show what they are working on at the moment or a piece of work which still remains very dear to them. The color white, in all its shades and temperatures, acts as a unifying thread between the participants.

As shopping shifts online and the economic shocks associated with the coronavirus pandemic push bankruptcies to unprecedented levels, retail is facing its own version of the end of days. The arsenal of commercial techniques that retail has developed can no longer function as usual. As a result, the entangled worlds of architecture, fashion, business, and art appear to us in a new light, testifying to a culture that is going extinct. At the same time, retail’s techniques of attraction and distraction have become visible in a new way. Stripped of their use-value, they reveal themselves as techniques of pure display. Retail Apocalypse presents a compendium of case studies, interventions, and object lessons rescued from the bonfire of retail culture, ranging from Friedrich Kiesler’s display windows to Gae Aulenti’s Fiat showrooms; from J. G. Ballard’s dystopian fantasies to TELFAR’s critical utopias; and from Rem Koolhaas to Herzog & de Meuron.

A catalogue documenting two exhibitions of works by Alexander Calder and Jean Prouvé at Gagosian Gallery, Paris, and Galerie Patrick Seguin.

Antwerp's favourite fashion photography and make-up duo, Ronald Stoops and Inge Grognard were instrumental in the international breakthrough of Belgian fashion. Collaborating with some of the country's foremost designers and stylists, the pair made a vital contribution to the early careers of luminaries like Dries van Noten and Martin Margiela; their visceral visual language was then enthusiastically employed by second-wave stars like Raf Simons, Veronique Branquinho and Jurgi Persoons. This essential collection of thirty years of seminal European fashion imagery shows every facet of the duo's aesthetic, from austere catwalk experimentalism to equally surprising moments of beauty and humour.

Permanent food is a cannibal magazine, a project conceived and produced by Maurizio Cattelan and Paola Manfrin. It is the result of the passion, obsession and artistic action of its creators, a trace of their critical gaze towards the social context. Built with images stolen from other magazines, selected, torn, detached, modified and then reassembled, Permanent Food was born almost for fun, without the need to have a defined style and personality. It ended up becoming a serious fact, a concrete sign of the times, a collector's item, a real and meaningful "second generation magazine". The aesthetics of each issue stems from the artistic link between Paola's sensitivity for images with a strong visual impact and Maurizio's preference for more cultured, ironic and clear images. Permanent Food's challenge to its audience is to consider and reflect on how we absorb and contextualize the constant flow of images in our daily life.

The fashion label Thema Selection and its outlet in Oberdorf, a Zurich neighborhood, made quite a splash back in the 1970s in the placid city along the Limmat River. The label attracted notice with its unique style and eccentric fashion shows, and the shop itself became a favorite haunt of Zurich's arts scene over the years. The shop and label creators Katharina Bebie, Ursula Rodel and Sissi Zoebeli were joined a few years later by Elisabeth Bossard, then Christa Derungs, and now Sonnhild Kestler. The official membership of this creative undertaking was never decisive, it was a shared can-do business credo that really mattered. The backdrop to the history of this avant-garde enterprise is recounted here by the shop's founders as well as their companions along the way, who were then, and remain to this day, part of that special zest for life.
