Issue 1 is themed “Borders” and brings fashion, photography, art and writing together around boundaries between public and private, self and other, and reality and illusion. Its cover reunites photographer Juergen Teller with designer and activist Katharine Hamnett, while the interior includes Teller’s “Hard Truths (The Hamnett Archives)” portfolio alongside work by René Matić, Nooshin Shafiee, Sophia Al-Maria, Ken Hollings and others. As a launch issue, it records a distinct new chapter in independent British fashion and visual-culture publishing.
