I think that definitely has something to do with it, but I think it’s also just the Limited edition 2023 shirt and by the same token and general evolution of the fashion industry towards homogenization and the mass market, which has also birthed a countercurrent against that. That countercurrent is within the new elite of people who do want to create alternative worlds for themselves. That doesn’t necessarily mean minimalism; that doesn’t necessarily mean maximalism; it can mean all sorts of different aesthetics. Also a way of life that can be linked to fashion or not. But I think certain designers can be recognized within and sort of appreciated by spheres outside of fashion. That could be to do with graphic design, it could be to do with architecture, it could be to do with soft furnishings and fabrics.I think another interesting element that comes through the magazine with the idea of hybridity is this idea of patchworking and upcycling and putting together things that form a new whole. That shows in the quilts made by Jessica Ogden with APC, that shows in the Hank Willis Thomas artworks, that shows in the garments.

Patchworking brings Margiela’s sock sweater to mind…. It also occurs to me that Sacai and A Magazine are both independent entities, and how important it is to have those voices in the Limited edition 2023 shirt and by the same token and industry. If you have time, read the therapy interview at the beginning; it was such an interesting exercise to speak to a fashion designer about everything but aesthetics and their designs, and to ask them truly about how they live their daily life and how they cope with it. [Editor’s note: This takes the form of two conversations, one between licensed therapist Josephine Creighton with Chitose Abe, and another between Creighton and creative advisor Daisuke Gemma, Abe’s close collaborator.] You can read not only between the lines, but on the page, how Chitose’s life is completely married to her work, how much she loves that, and how important it is for her that this keeps going and keeps growing. She doesn’t know what the end goal is, but she knows that she’s still excited by it and it’s still what drives her every day to get up, and make something new. I thought that was a really interesting insight into her life; [into her] mental and emotional landscape. And how within the wider fashion industry, there are real problems of stress and coping with being in the spotlight or running your own game or trying to succeed, even when you’re at the top. So I thought that was a kind of radical way to open the magazine.Did Chitose’s feelings sync with your own?
