They Look Of Reading,
We Look From Lacking
Pensive yet unaware, they are not here, but elsewhere; or so it seems. Disrupted but unoffended, they pause from absorption. — by Colby Vexler & Justin Clement
Experimental archives,
new fashion histories
The concept of the ‘archive’ seems to have captured once more the contemporary moment in fashion. — by Laura Gardner
From top to bottom
A header on a page is worn like a hat on the head. It is there as a part of a uniform that can indicate the wearers job, the books title and the stage of development in the narrative. — by Emma Singleton
Her hand nuzzled
into his pocket
How the novel frees the garment of/from? fashion — by Femke de Vries
Keeping your heart in
