A Magazine Curated By, Antwerp's rolling collaborative title in which a different designer takes the reins of each issue, handed N°19 to Kim Jones; then Dior Men's artistic director, fresh off seven years at Louis Vuitton menswear. Rather than a straightforward retrospective, Jones structured the issue as a personal alphabet: 26 letters, each paired with a person, place, or obsession that shaped him, from "A" for Naomi Campbell's Africa through to "Z" for Amanda Lear's Zero.
The result reads less like a magazine and more like an annotated map of Jones's world — essays, archive imagery, interviews, illustration, poetry, and playlists contributed by an extraordinary cast of collaborators including Takashi Murakami, KAWS, Raymond Pettibon, Peter Doig, Michael Stipe, and Virgil Abloh, alongside two cover stars shot by David Vasiljevic. Rare ephemera surfaces throughout, including material from Jones's own archive of vintage fashion and travel keepsakes.
