Beyond Fashion was born in September 2023 as a digital cover for nss magazine, featuring a round table with 15 emerging designers who were asked about alternative systems for making fashion and their challenges as independents. The digital cover then evolved into a section of the website and a newsletter, driven by the ongoing research that fuels the very essence of the magazine. Beyond Fashion celebrates its first anniversary with an event on September 22, marking both the end and a departure from Milan Fashion Week and its conventions, by inviting talents who have demonstrated their uniqueness in breaking the fashion industry's norms, from MOWALOLA to PROTOTYPES.
The shape of Innovation
with JORDANLUCA and HELIOT EMIL
Can fashion still offer us something new? In the repetitiveness of algorithm-driven society, nss magazine explores the creative possibilities of a brand in terms of design, technology, and ideology by inviting JORDANLUCA and HELIOT EMIL to the debate.
When democracy meets fashion
with PROTOTYPES and Frederic Saint-Parck
Can fashion truly be democratic? To address this question, nss magazine invites Laura Beham and Callum Pidgeon, creative directors of the brand PROTOTYPES, and Fredric Saint-Parck, creative director of Miss Sixty and his eponymous brand.
A matter of Identity
with MOWALOLA
In conversation with Nigerian-born, London-based designer MOWALOLA, nss magazine will explore her journey in building a distinctive and uncompromising aesthetic that pushes the boundaries of fashion while remaining culturally authentic and relevant.
