System is biannual magazine that offers exclusive long-format conversations with fashion’s most relevant, most powerful and most opinionated individuals, accompanied by portfolios created by the industry’s most in-demand image-makers.
Issue #25 is dedicated to time's elasticity. One of the most compelling aspects of Jonathan Anderson’s first year at Dior has been the way he distorts and collapses notions of time. This was one of many themes System explored with Jonathan during the hours of interviews. Time’s elasticity surfaced repeatedly: in conversation with Yorn Michaelsen, Christian Dior’s design assistant in the 1950s, Jonathan reflected on the house’s origins; with Tim Blanks, Jennifer Lawrence, Magdalene Odundo and Sims, he spoke of the realities of implementing his five-year vision for Dior that binds heritage and modernity into one continuous proposition.
Elsewhere, Isabella Burley, founder of Climax Books and former youngest editor-in-chief of Dazed, talks about an analogue artefact that inspired her; Jerry Stafford sits down with industry titan and polymath Amanda Harlech—fashion editor, stylist and creative consultant are amongst the many titles she has held throughout her career; Jonathan Wingfield meets with GQglobal editorial director Will Welch and W editor-in-chief Sara Moonves; and, Tish Weinstock investigates Substack’s cultural saturation.
