“I desperately thought I wanted to be a designer, until I realised I just wanted to be John Galliano.” Our next cover story starring Alexander Fury
@alexanderfury traces a life shaped by clothes — from growing up a solitary fashion geek in the English countryside to becoming one of the industry’s most influential critics and curators. In our conversation, Fury reflects on archives, obsessions, and why fashion deserves to be read with the same seriousness as art or history. Discover the full story in SHADOWPLAY 9.
