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.
Issue six is the ‘Shape Shift’ issue, eliciting an equally elusive range of subject matter. Inside, you’ll find Craig Green by Lara Stone; Courrèges by Takashi Homma and Danny Reed; ‘The Edströms’ by Anders Edström and Jodie Barnes; artist Frida Orupabo in conversation with writer Mahoro Seward; musician Christopher Owens' triumphant return; William Burroughs and John Giorno's home at 222 Bowery; and a Comme des Garçons Homme Plus special feature by Daniel Shea and Matt Holmes.
Plus a 48 page portfolio by Mark Borthwick and Vanessa Reid.
