Re-stocked: Press & Fold Magazine issue #0 / 1 // 2

Press & Fold | Notes on making and doing fashion is a collaborative research project that connects critical fashion practitioners from all over the world. Press & Fold aims to create a safe space for alternative fashion practices and dissonant voices within and outside of the fashion system, and communally explore fashion beyond the commodity. Through discussing our experiences through fashion, the Press & Fold contributors facilitate an alternative discourse that is not just about consuming the latest fashions. The magazine is initiated by Hanka van der Voet in collaboration with art director and graphic designer Beau Bertens and published by the Amsterdam-based platform Warehouse | A Place for Clothes in Context.

Press & Fold explores alternative fashion forms and narratives, providing a platform for critical fashion practitioners who actively seek out the cracks and fissures in the current fashion system to propose new opportunities for making and doing fashion.

Press & Fold #0 | The Street Issue

For its inaugural issue, Press & Fold reflects on the relation between fashion and the street, as the street has always played a pivotal – but ever-changing – role in the generation, presentation and perpetuation of fashion.

Press & Fold #1 | The Luxury Issue

Among a new generation of fashion designers, researchers, writers and curators, very different views on luxury, and fashion in general, exist. These new imaginations on luxury show a radical departure from the classical interpretation of the concept; a concept that is firmly rooted in the idea that luxury is above all about abundance and indulgence, and therefore is not absolutely necessary, but a privilege for the happy few. But what actually is a ‘necessity’ in contemporary society, and what do we define as ‘abundance’?

Press & Fold #2 | The Resistance

Many fashion houses and labels have been incorporating concepts of ‘protest’ and ‘resistance’ in their clothing and collections over the years. However, considering fashion’s entanglement with capitalism, we must wonder: how seriously should we take these statements?

For protest and resistance to become effective, it depends on community to generate, support and further it. This issue takes us further on these ideas of protest, activism and resistance in and around fashion, and not only in terms of clothing, and how it is portrayed in (fashion) imagery, but also in terms of how fashion is structured and organized.

Warehouse is an Amsterdam-based fashion platform that aims to create an open, engaging, and inclusive environment that facilitates critical dialogue and the creation of a discourse that goes beyond treating fashion as a commodity.

What (MORE) can a bookstore do? - A question we must constantly propose.
Bungee Space is an image study- and image criticism-focused art book store, which also sells coffee, wearable designs, and works as an artist-run space & publisher. Rooting in where we come from, our ways of working, and means to survive, we simultaneously try to pursue independence and sustainability to provide a valuable space for emerging contributors to our art ecology. Standing beyond conventional definition of a bookstore, we involve, form, and transform community, intervene social, political, and cultural lives, creating chaos.
