A self deprecating print-only magazine embedded with humour and wit, MERDE reflects on fashion’s cultural landscape by exploring the creative process without a filter. With the aim to disrupt tired fashion narratives, each biannual issue picks a theme to explore -in all seriousness.
MERDE is ruled and empowered by atypical creative expression. MERDE explores the visions and voices of unlikely narratives from inside and outside the fashion scene, building a larger story of creative practices.
A publication with reflexive intuitions, MERDE aims to satisfy fashion’s postmodern desire for unconventional and subversive text and imagery.

Issue VI simultaneously explores the physicality of archival fashion, and enters the metaverse to determine new ways of documentation. Featuring cover star Bea Miller captured in Los Angeles by Paris Mumpower.
