Heavyweight System explores with style and substance the dialogues at the heart of the global fashion industry. This Spring/Summer 2024 issue focuses on fashion as a form of mass entertainment, particularly the industry's ‘capacity to wed itself to the prevailing kings and queens of mainstream entertainment: the stars of cinema and TV, music and sport, as well as the digital world's scrappier but no-less-adored luminaries.’
Think a pink-suited Pharrell on the cover, a multi-decade round up of Armani ruling red carpet looks at the Oscars, how film studio A24 follows the fashion house branding playbook, K-pop in luxury fashion, and Interview's Mel Ottenberg on working with A-listers and niche maniacs on the internet. This issue is also accompanied by a 36-page supplement on a collaboration between The Frankie Shop and designer Harry Nuriev, also featuring Demi Moore.
