‘Exploring the relationship between art and fashion’
Each issue of the glossy large-format biannual Middle Plane typically uses fashion as an entry point to examining a single artist’s work and legacy.
The 13th issue features conversations between Alejandro Jodorowsky, Pascale Montandon-Jodorowsky and Hans Ulrich Obrist, Laurie Simmons and Lena Dunham, Rob Pruitt and Gavin Brown, interspersed with playful fashion editorials from photographers including Oliver Hadlee Pearch, Alasdair McLellan, Danny Reed, Frank Lebon, Marie Chaix, and more.
Plus, photographer Jamie Hawkesworth and producer Adele Romanski pay a heartfelt tribute to Romanski’s dog Banana through a short essay and photo series, and photographer Laurie Simmons presents a surreal 36-page visual insert, titled ‘Fake Fashion’.
