Crosscurrent describes itself as a manual resource for discovery exploring fashion, art, architecture, and ideas. What makes it stands out from a crowded field is the people it chooses to feature and the way it presents them.
Editor-in-chief Clarke Rudick always pulls together a unique series of subjects, ranging from the well-known to the lesser, but soon-to-be known. Art director Emily Schofield designs the texts and accompanying images with plenty of room to breath—no page is full of text and no image extended to full bleed—giving a feel of calm conversation throughout its 300 or so pages.
In this issue, built around the concepts of seeing and being, you’ll find Karen Elson by Jeremy Everett and Matt Holmes; Celine by Hedi Slimane, by Theo Sion and Alice Goddard; and a timeline of this season’s most extravagant silhouettes by Takashi Homma and Ai Kamoshita. Plus plenty more.
