Cactus, Issue 20

Cactus is an Italian fashion and visual culture magazine. Born as a fashion magazine, the magazine founded in 2015 from an idea of ​​three young Milanese creatives (Luca Smorgon, Giovanni Grosso and Valeria Peschechera), today presents itself as a cutting-edge window on contemporaneity. 
Among its pages you will find fashion reports, but above all the proposals of carefully selected artists for a potpourri of art, fashion, photography and culture.
Although the individual works are valued based on the identity of each artist, browsing through Cactus gives the impression of experiencing emotions and sensations in a continuum of images and words that barely allow the separation between one service and another to be perceived. 

Today Cactus is a 360-degree magazine which, from fashion, has become a point of reference for the visual arts and those involved in visual and art direction. What is surprising above all is its multi-poster format which, by deconstructing the magazine object, makes it a successful editorial experiment.

In this issue:

For its 20th issue—and tenth anniversary—Cactus Magazine reimagines the print as a loose-leaf collection, featuring 29 artists at the intersection of contemporary art, fashion, and CGI. Faithful to its image-led ethos, this edition positions the visual as the pulse of a synesthetic discourse, where the archive becomes a springboard for new legacies.
