FUTURE-PROOFING YOUR NOVEL

DOUBLE Down • Clashing PRINTS. Layered TEXTURES. Knockout ACCESSORIES. Spring’s brand of MAXIMALISM isn’t about memeification—it’s about MIXING it all up with a PERSONAL TWIST.

ARCHIVE • RICHARD AVEDON, APRIL 1965

ALEX PALOMA ANOK • THE WORD NOW has multiple meanings. It can refer to a place in time. It can be a call to action. It can convey a sense of urgency. It’s a theory more than an actual thing. We look around, take stock of what we see and what we think we know, and call that “now”—knowing that the instant we’ve articulated it, the conditions of our lives will have changed. Even with all the tools and technologies that now exist to help us with that process, it hasn’t gotten easier. This issue isn’t an attempt to capture everything that’s happening right now in a definitive way (a virtual impossibility). But it does offer a snapshot of the way the world looks and where we are in this particular moment through a range of different eyes and lenses—and perhaps a glimpse of where we’re going in the future.
