This vast, multi-volume men's fashion publication weighs in at over two and a half kilos and is made up of 4 separate parts of varying hefts. Aka a whole lot of fashion, and a whole lot of chunk.
For Autumn/Winter 2024, this is the 'Glück' (meaning: luck) issue split over volume A, volume B, and volume C. A wisely written editor's letter introduces this issue discussing the importance of valuing contentment over chasing happiness, prioritising the journey of the self rather than desiring constant consumption. Followed with interviews with photographers, artists and curators talking deeper into their personal processes, why these creatives do what they do and the authenticity behind their works. Additionally, a large newsprinted conversation between rock-musician Marius Müller-Westernhagen and his manager Olaf Meinking; a zine and a song-sheet book featuring Hans Ulrich Obrist interviewing Georges Aperghis.
