Heavyweight biannual System lifts the curtain on the global fashion industry’s movers and shakers, ‘exploring and commenting on fashion’s constantly shifting landscape’.
This bumper Autumn/Winter 2026–2027 edition leads with a cover story on Gucci creative director Demna, photographed in his ornately furnished ‘Milanese domestic bliss’ by Juergen Teller. The issue features the designer in conversation with Cathy Horyn, who followed Demna on a quest to formulate ‘his Gucci’ during his first year at the brand. Discover several interviews staged at different points throughout the year, catching up with the designer in Milan, New York, and Los Angeles.
Elsewhere, hear from musician Steve Lacy in discussion with Gucci’s music director Loki, outlining their ideas around change, perception, and the dissonance between artist and audience; Hilary Taymour denounces claims that New York fashion week is dead, penning a passionate defence of its media value, accessible celebrity ecosystem, and creative freedom of expression; Jimmy Choo creative director Sandra Choi sits in conversation with Alexander Fury, reflecting on three decades at the brand and the process of designing and making a Choo; and Jeppe Ugelvig of Viscose Journal—a firm magCulture favourite—delves into the ethos of the magazine, its shifting format, and ‘Fashion Person’ focus.
Plus, discover a conversation between designer Norma Kamali and musician Honey Dijon, accompanied by a unique editorial dreamt up by System stylist Spencer Slinger pulling pieces from Kamali’s archive, and an insert from Cartier spotlighting their Love Unlimited Collection.
