In recent years, it's become harder to tell whether fashion can still stand on its own, without leaning on the scaffolding of sport, film, or whatever cultural tentpole happens to be in rotation. But with the sustained relevance of System and the sharp ambition behind its latest expansion, Editor-in-Chief Jonathan Wingfield offers a clear answer: yes—fashion can still trade on itself. It is a business, unquestionably—but a beautifully complex one, in constant dialogue with culture. And in that dialogue, the currency of creativity proves more stable than gold. Unlike so many aspects of contemporary life, its role is inimitable, its value evergreen. In this conversation, Wingfield traces his own route—from suburban teenage boredom and record sleeves to the visual literacy that would come to define his work. We talk about System's origins, the logic behind System Collections, and what gets lost when coverage is dictated by algorithms rather than curiosity. “The most interesting commentary on a film often came from the costume designer, not the star. That logic applies to fashion too.” - Jonathan Wingfield Episode Highlights: From suburban boredom to fashion curiosity - Wingfield traces his creative awakening to the disconnect between small-town life and the cultural energy of nearby London—music, record sleeves, and magazines were his early portals. The record sleeve as first editorial influence - A Peter Saville–designed cover for New Order's True Faith becomes an entry point into the world of typography, photography, and image-making. A formative mentorship on the road - A months-long carpool with UK publishing legend Alan Lewis becomes a crash course in magazine craft—headline writing, storytelling, and editorial voice. Why editing is about the final decisions - For Wingfield, the joy of putting a magazine together isn't in the interviews—it's in the final details: captions, pull quotes, and headlines that shape meaning. System's founding as a response to access fatigue - Frustrated by increasingly hollow interviews with celebrities, Wingfield wanted a space for deeper, more sustained conversations—System was his answer. Virgil Abloh as a cultural inflection point - A cover story featuring Virgil becomes a turning point for System, bridging industry credibility and outsider influence, and reframing who the magazine is for. The slow reveal: System's relationship to time - Wingfield shares why the magazine resists real-time commentary and favors longer arcs—interviewing designers after the noise has died down. The launch of System Collections - He introduces System's newest project: a seasonal, time-capsule-style publication that offers deep visual and editorial takes on fashion month. On interviewing well—and waiting for silence - One of his top tips: don't rush to fill silences. Real answers often follow the pause. What's contemporary now? Swerve the algorithm - Wingfield's closing reflection: avoid being trapped in feedback loops. Discovery, intuition, and counterintuitive creativity are what truly move culture forward.

How far would Nike possibly go when it comes to bringing grail sneakers back out of the vault? Could untouchable sneakers like the “Red October” Air Yeezy 2 and the Nike Mag actually see some sort of retro? Would people line up all over again for a classic like Sean Wotherspoon's corduroy Air Max 1/97? What about the return of Virgil Abloh's Off-White x Nikes? In light of Nike bringing back heat like the Wu-Tang Dunks and Undefeated x Air Jordan 4s, co-hosts Joe La Puma, Brendan Dunne, and Matt Welty debate the merits of that kind of retro in this episode. Also in the episode: the best Air Jordan retro era ever, Stussy's Nike Baltoros, and the leopard print Adidas Sambas. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Fabriano Fabbri"La voce del diavolo"L'arte contemporanea e la moda.Einaudi Editorewww.einaudi.itNel lungo arco della contemporaneità, l'arte del vestire ha sedotto il corpo per liberarlo da disagi e inibizioni, lo ha accarezzato per divorarne le energie, lo ha spinto oltre i suoi limiti per urlare al mondo «la voce del diavolo», come scriveva William Blake: lo ha protetto con cura per reciderlo dai lacci della morale e del perbenismo. Fabriano Fabbri rilegge la storia dell'arte dalla fine del Settecento agli anni Duemila usando come metronomo le funamboliche evoluzioni del guardaroba di ieri e di oggi, fra i tumulti della tecnologia e le tempeste della rivoluzione sessuale.Moda e arte vivono di intrecci senza fine, di trame a doppio filo, di storie nelle storie che incantano, che sorprendono, che illudono e divertono. Nelle sue frenetiche rapsodie creative, ogni stile indumentale ha stretto da sempre un accordo di alleanza con i movimenti artistici piú noti al grande pubblico, dal Neoclassicismo alla Pop art. Eppure, in pochi conoscono le spinte sotterranee che animano moda, pittura e scultura, in pochi afferrano le ragioni profonde che spingono le une fra le braccia dell'altra. Quante volte abbiamo incontrato la parola «Minimalismo » curiosando fra rete e riviste? Quante volte abbiamo sentito parlare di Dalí e Schiaparelli o di Mondrian e Saint Laurent? E i colorati parei di Gauguin, quanto li abbiamo visti fra le pitture tropicali del simbolista francese e la sua impudica «casa del piacere»? E poi, ancora, chi non ha presente le danzatrici di Canova o la Madame Récamier di David in provocanti «vesti di velo», per rubare le parole al «Divin marchese» de Sade?«Vèstiti, cosí alla sdrucciola, potrebbe suonare come un imperativo, un invito piú o meno scoperto a dare un tocco di ricercatezza agli ingredienti del nostro stile. Oppure potrebbe essere un sostantivo: vestíti intesi come abiti, come capi d'abbigliamento, come divise, come fogge. Infine, vestíti, participio passato di vestire. Sia quel che sia, quando ci copriamo di tessuti non stiamo avvolgendo il corpo per semplice necessità di decoro e protezione: stiamo indossando le forme – le tele? – di Picasso e di Chanel, se ci infiliamo in un rettangolo; ci stiamo abbigliando con le visioni di Turner o Pollock quando i tessuti sono sdruciti, grinzosi e caotici; siamo invece avvolti dall'ironia di Duchamp se il nostro look è sofisticato, insolito, a volte street – come ci insegna Virgil Abloh. E siccome la storia dell'arte e del costume è sempre una storia di spazio e di volumi, partiremo proprio dall'amplesso mai interrotto fra gli artisti e gli stilisti del nostro tempo. Sia chiaro, è fin troppo ovvio mettere le mani in avanti, spiegare a mo' di preambolo che il primo impatto con un'opera d'arte o con un'opera vestimentaria coinvolge l'interezza della nostra sfera emotiva, del gusto e della personalità, delle cose che semplicemente “ci piacciono” cosí, in via istintiva; ma se vogliamo entrare nel merito dei valori che favoriscono uno stile piuttosto che un altro per capirne a fondo il senso culturale, spazio e volume sono le materie prime di un approccio obiettivo, il piú fedele possibile al nostro oggetto di interesse. E nel farlo sarà fondamentale tenere ben salda la distinzione tra le forme della modernità e le forme del contemporaneo».Fabriano Fabbri insegna Stili e arti del contemporaneo, Forme della moda contemporanea e Contemporary fashion all'Università di Bologna. È autore di numerose monografie su arte e moda, tra cui Sesso arte rock'n'roll, Atlante, Bologna 2006; Lo zen e il manga, Bruno Mondadori, Milano 2009; Boris Bidjan Saberi. 11, Atlante, Bologna 2013; L'orizzonte degli eventi, Atlante, Bologna 2013; Angelo Marani, Atlante, Bologna 2015.

The Off-White x Air Jordan 1 might feel like too sacred, special, and recent a shoe to get a retro treatment, but rumors are circulating that Jordan Brand is planning to bring the Virgil Abloh design back out as a retro at the end of this year. What's the truth behind those rumors? And is it right to bring the shoe back so soon? Co-hosts Joe La Puma, Brendan Dunne, and Matt Welty discuss that in this episode. They also recap the controversial ‘Bred” Air Jordan 1 85 retro, do an in depth review of the 2025 “Galaxy” Foamposite retro, and talk about the fate of the PlayStation x Nike Air Force 1, another grail-level bring back from Nike. This episode was recorded during Super Bowl LIX weekend in New Orleans live at the Family Style food fest, hence the new set and slightly different look. Hosted on Acast.

While completing her BFA at Baylor University, Rebekah Danae's fourteen year painting practice was stylistically and thematically influenced by formative experiences in Belgium, studying Rene Magritte's surrealist blend of comedy and peril, and in Texas, learning from Sedrick Huckaby's metaphoric expressions offaith, community, and heritage.Sculpturally— through leatherwork and interior design— Danae's work has been influenced by the cowboy boot making community in Beggs, Oklahoma and the design firm of Christopher Murphy in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In practice, Danae draws inspiration from Virgil Abloh, who blurred the lines of art and commerce through the tools of contemporary culture; Rebecca Belmore's ability to elicit intimate moments of reflection while tackling tremendous contemporary issues; the liberatory mysticism of Afrofuturism philosophy; the fiber artists of the wearable art movement in the 70s; and from the community-based relational practice of Rick Lowe.Through her work, Rebekah Danae and A Creative House orchestrate a movement in the middle of the country, made up of a diverse creative choir. Far from a lone ranger, Danae works collaboratively across a curated network of Oklahomans— from the punk underground, homegrown rappers and producers, luxury interior designers, rodeo cowboys, rural bootmakers, to philanthropic, political, and educational leaders. Her approach, while whimsical and surreal, has the intended impact of critical regional culture-shaping from the current white supremacy that is prevalent regionally today and toward a co-created futurist Oklahoma, the liberated West.

Virgil Abloh changed fashion in the 21st century. His brand Off-White redefined streetwear and youth culture for a notoriously elite and inaccessible industry. And he broke barriers to become the first Black artistic director at a French luxury fashion house. “His whole career is dedicated to opening up the gate for everyone,” said Marc Moran, his long-time friend and collaborator. “And I think that's what made him such a force to reckon with.” Virgil Abloh passed away from cancer on November 28, 2021 at the age of 41, leaving behind a sprawling legacy. But before he took over an industry, he was a quiet and humble suburban kid who loved soccer, skateboarding, T-shirts and turntables. This week on Making, host Brandon Pope talks with Abloh's family, friends, critics and collaborators – including his father, his high school soccer coach and the head of British Vogue – to look back at the life of a Chicago icon. Making tells the story of a different, iconic figure every episode. Subscribe now.
