Slanted Magazine #44—Type Fashion

Slanted Magazine #44—Type Fashion explores the intersection of typography and fashion. The issue explores the boundaries of conventional design, embracing cutting-edge typography as a dynamic canvas for fashion expression. It presents art pieces, conceptual works, unconventional positioning, bold messages, weird concepts, and off-road applications that challenge the status quo of fashion industries.

If Slanted were a fashion brand, our mission would be clear: to inform, provoke, and ignite the imagination—championing freedom, research, and creativity, where fantasy becomes reality, aspirations are achieved, and culture is constantly evolving.

In addition to showcasing outstanding works, this issue features insightful essays by Christina Donoghue, Ann Marie Wainscott, Graphéine, Jelena Drobac, Ian Lynam, Jimmy Henderson, Kylièn Bergh, and Karmen Samson. Furthermore, interviews with Golnar Kat-Rahmani, Mirko Borsche, Jochen Smuda and Martin Fussenegger (Ucon Acrobatics), as well as Jean-Baptiste Levée, provide valuable insights into the intersection of typography and fashion. The issue concludes with an extensive appendix, listing all participating contributors.

In collaboration with the Berlin-based brand Ucon Acrobatics, we’re excited to additionally present a limited special edition on occasion of the release of Slanted Magazine #44—Type Fashion. It includes the magazine alongside an exclusive bag which draws inspiration from the bold design of the new issue, blending typography and fashion into a stylish and sustainable statement piece.
