Twin, Issue 31 (Cover A)

Twin is a biannual art, fashion and feminism book. Founded on the eve of a new decade, Twin is the brainchild of ex-Lula magazine creative director Becky Smith, and a handpicked international team that includes British Vogue’’s Aimee Farrell (features and online director), art editor Francesca Gavin (Dazed, The Guardian, Vogue) and fashion editors Celestine Cooney, Naomi Miller and Alastair McKimm.

Twin is a cloth-bound, hard-backed biannual that showcases art, culture and feminist features alongside freshly commissioned fashion photography from the likes of Ben Weller, Paul Wetherall, KT Autela and Boo George, featuring models including Freja Beha Erichsen, Dree Hemingway, Hanne Gaby and Christina Kruse.

In this issue:

As we enter the first quarter of the twenty first century next year, style is constantly evolving, and Twin is busy recording it, talking about it and demonstrating it to you through its pages.

In this issue we look at the established, the sustainable and the future, we shift our attention from works of art in galleries to fashion pieces that are works of art. With all the team and contributors focussed on recording and communicating the events and names across the world, we zip from New York as a location to shoot fashion, to Berlin for an event across to artisans and creative teams in Paris, and wherever they may be based. Avril Groom takes us into the luxury art and extraordinary creativity of Claire Choisne at Boucheron Paris, Francesca Gavin looks to Germany for Atonal and its impact, and Fondazionde Prada and a recent special exhibition. Whilst we watch the world’s reactions to new ways of creating art and fashion, Madeline Ringer delves into the work of three sustainable fashion designers. Stephane Rolland tells us about his shows and clothes, as well as hinting at future plans, accompanied by David Downtown’s images direct from the catwalk to bring this vision to life. Amongst our fashion stories we feature style and accessories out on the streets, lounging by the pool, or as an art installation. Photographers include Kat Irlin, Sascha von Bismarck, Grace Difford and Kate Jackling, and stylists Iona Ivan, Niki Pauls, and Natasha Royt. These are just some, amongst the many creatives, who have worked so hard to present this issue to you, but all focussed on offering examples of evolving and exciting creativity wherever we find it, that is always Twin Magazines mission.
