Middle Plane

Middle Plane is quietly establishing itself as one of the most interesting art journals around.

Published biannually, each issue harnesses the input from different creatives to examine and explore the relationship between art and fashion by focusing on a single artist for each issue, most recently Maggie Hambling and Christo and Jeanne-Claude.

The results, the publishers hope, are 'unpredictable, critical and eerie'.

About Issue 9 from the publisher:

Things we are loving this summer: hosiery, rose hues, the Hollywood sign, caviar blinis, frolicking, funky eyewear. Middle Plane’s tenth instalment is here, and it’s a bumper fashion special, with plentiful style inspiration. Alessandro Furchino Capia does executive city chic in Prada, Bruce Weber takes Saint Laurent to the (sweet) East coast with our IT GIRL Talia Ryder, and Alezzio Bolzoni gets creative with a JW ANDERSON poinsettia: unseasonal yet perfectly formed.

The mood is ‘Chantilly cream, fresh strawberries and pink almond paste.’

Acclaimed sound director Michel Gaubert shares the tunes he finds unbelievably annoying, the perennially fashionable Lotta Volkova welcomes Middle Plane regular contributo Fumiko Imano to her LA home, and Judy Chicago tells Nathalie Olah her plans to change the world, in a cover story with portraits of the artist shot by the inimitable Sharna Osborne.

Other contributors include Takashi Homma, Alasdair McLellan, Theo Sion, Julien Martinez Leclerc, Raf Simons, Dimitri (the world’s most stylish poodle), Bernard Sumner, Sadie Coles, Wolfgang Tillmans, Max Pearmain, Colin Dodgson, Oliver Hadlee-Pearch and many more.
