CROSSCURRENT #6

Crosscurrent describes itself as a manual resource for discovery exploring fashion, art, architecture, and ideas. What makes it stands out from a crowded field is the people it chooses to feature and the way it presents them.

Editor-in-chief Clarke Rudick always pulls together a unique series of subjects, ranging from the well-known to the lesser, but soon-to-be known. Art director Emily Schofield designs the texts and accompanying images with plenty of room to breath—no page is full of text and no image extended to full bleed—giving a feel of calm conversation throughout its 300 or so pages.

Issue six is the ‘Shape Shift’ issue, eliciting an equally elusive range of subject matter. Inside, you’ll find Craig Green by Lara Stone; Courrèges by Takashi Homma and Danny Reed; ‘The Edströms’ by Anders Edström and Jodie Barnes; artist Frida Orupabo in conversation with writer Mahoro Seward; musician Christopher Owens' triumphant return; William Burroughs and John Giorno's home at 222 Bowery; and a Comme des Garçons Homme Plus special feature by Daniel Shea and Matt Holmes.
