Crosscurrent #9

Crosscurrent is a bi-annual print publication and a manual resource for discovery exploring fashion, art, architecture, and ideas.

Issue 9

Fall/Winter 2026 Issue explores the binary of ‘familiarity’ and its antonym, ‘unfamiliarity’, as a touchpoint for showcasing established creatives in a new light and, conversely, introducing newcomers like old friends. As usual, the issue features a plethora of covers to choose from, spotlighting London-formed electronic ‘girl-pop’ duo NEW YORK; an installation by Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone; a fashion editorial exhibiting up-and-coming designer Colleen Allen’s romantic reworked designs, modelled by new faces Iris Lasnet and Jesse Rinderknecht; Betsy Gaghan captured by candid photographer Mark Steinmetz; and, ‘The Women’, a street cast editorial shot by Crosscurrent regular Anders Edström and styled by Ann-Sofie Back, featuring elderly Stockholm natives. 

Alongside the cover features, readers will find an interview with LA-based songwriter Truman Sinclair, delving into his musical influences, go-to gear, and the adventure of touring; Amy Zimmerman profiles Canadian musician Melissa Auf der Maur—former bassist for Hole and The Smashing Pumpkins—following the success of her 90s rock memoir ‘Even the Good Girls Will Cry’; and, Laura May Todd pays a visit to the Turi Simeti Archive Foundation in Milan.
