System #26

How long does it take to make a fashion house your own? In this issue, journalist Cathy Horyn follows Demna through his first year at Gucci, from rethinking how clothes are made to figuring out how much of himself to bring to a house with a long history. Elsewhere, Simone Bellotti digs into Jil Sander’s archives, Norma Kamali explores how AI might preserve her design legacy, and a new series introduces emerging designers. From established names to the next generation, the issue looks at what fashion needs most: original ideas, plenty of experimentation, and time to get things right.
