A MAGAZINE CURATED BY LUCIE AND LUKE MEIER ¥3,000+TAX
What is required of fashion magazines today? In an age where the emphasis is only on the speed of information, magazines still seem to have more persuasive power and value than the Web in terms of the impact they have when visuals, text, and layout are combined into a trinity. That is why we are not bound by time, but are pursuing the magazine and shifting toward a more niche direction. That may be one of the correct ways to be.
The ultimate existence of theA MagazineI know you may feel nostalgic when you hear the name. Some of you may feel nostalgic when you hear this name, but to reiterate, it has been loved for its innovative concept of summoning famous fashion designers to each issue and having them work on an entire issue. In particular, the early issues by Maison Martin Margiela, Yohji Yamamoto, and Jun Takahashi are coveted collectors' items.

The cover is a 3D scanned reproduction of pressed Japanese paper handmade by a paper company in Noto that has been in business for three generations. The novel design of the spine, with the thread binding exposed as is, has an industrial feel that can also be seen in the clothing.
