Each cover of i-D magazine gives you a knowing wink that hints at the wonder inside. Cutting-edge and influential, this publication is well known for its superb layout and first class photography. From the UK, this manual of style was one of the first to break the barrier between art and fashion photography.

The more stuff we accumulate, the more space we need to store it all. Vast portions of the landscape are claimed and governed by spaces of storage, their maintenance, and the goods that move through them—or remain buried within them indefinitely. This issue of Harvard Design Magazine investigates and unpacks the contents, containers, and systems of storage that organize our world. Storage is the aggregation and containment of the material and immaterial stuff of culture; but also the safeguarding—or hoarding—of energy and tools for some imagined future purpose. How does all this stuff mask or overcompensate for economic and ecological bankruptcy? Is storage about greed or need? Storage, perhaps, is everything we can live without but insist on living with. “Shelf Life” explores what’s inside the box (shed, tank, urn, vault, crypt, crate, case, pot, bag, vat, morgue, safe, bin, archive, warehouse, cabinet, cellar, cemetery, depository, locker, freezer, landfill, library). Even as we attempt to reduce and recycle, the stuff that we dispose of also needs to be stored. Where do we put it? Our planet is now a saturated receptacle. This warehouse is full, and we’re all inside it.

The comprehensive book on the visionary Hussein Chalayan, one of the most innovative, experimental, and conceptual fashion designers working today. Internationally acclaimed, Hussein Chalayan is known for his inventive use of materials and integration of new technology into his designs. He is also celebrated for putting the creative process itself on view. Some of his best-known designs include a paper dress that can be folded into an envelope and airmailed, armchair covers that transform into dresses, and a coffee table that reveals itself to be a wooden skirt. Original and groundbreaking, his designs are also pretty and modern, and this book explores that continuum. Featuring Chalayan’s complete body of fashion and creative work—including his installations, videos, and photographs—this unique and beautiful volume is as thought-provoking as it is stunning and is sure to be coveted by fashion, art, and design connoisseurs.

Kurz nach dem Mauerfall lud die französische Regierung die interessantesten Künstler der in Auflösung begriffenen DDR nach Paris ein. So saßen im Frühjahr 1990 sieben ostdeutsche Fotografen in einem Markthallencafé und beschlossen die Gründung einer Agentur, um sich für die politischen, wirtschaftlichen und ästhetischen Herausforderungen der neuen Zeit zu wappnen. Sie nannten sich »Ostkreuz« nach der umtriebigen S-Bahn-Station in Berlin. Seitdem schreibt die Gruppe eine einzigartige Erfolgsgeschichte: Ihre Fotos werden in den wichtigsten internationalen Magazinen gedruckt, gemeinsame Ausstellungsprojekte –Die Stadt. Vom Werden und Vergehen oder Über Grenzen – touren durch die Welt. Zum 25. Jubiläum erscheint diese besondere Mappe mit Bilderbögen jedes der 20 Mitglieder, ein Begleitheft erzählt die Geschichte der Agentur und zeigt Fotografen aus der DDR-Zeit, unter anderem von Sibylle Bergemann, Harald Hauswald, Ute und Werner Mahler.

The “Reproductive” issue (edited by Orsolya Bajusz and Csilla Hódi) is a report from the war for the body – with a special focus on the Battle of the Abortion Pill, feminist self-defence, techno-ontological concussions, hijacking and barricades. Reproductive rights is a matter similar to drugs – whatever needs to be said has been said, is being continuously said, the evidence has been there for a long time, it is crystal clear, and yet nothing changes, and likely not much will change in the near future, as there is too much at stake. This issue is an attempt to re-present academic material (and/or pure perversion) which we have stumbled upon through our dedicated research.

Design is one of the most powerful forces in our lives. When deployed wisely, it can bring us pleasure, choice, strength, decency and much more. But if its power is abused, the outcome can be wasteful, confusing, humiliating, even dangerous. None of us can avoid being affected by design, whether or not we wish to. It is so ubiquitous that it determines how we feel and what we do, often without our noticing. Hello World explores design's influence on our lives. Written by the renowned design critic Alice Rawsthorn and designed by the award-winning book designer Irma Boom, it describes how warlords, scientists, farmers, hackers, activists and designers have used design to different ends throughout history: from the macabre symbol invented by 18th century pirates to terrorise their victims into surrender, to one woman's quest for the best possible prosthetic legs and the evolution of the World Cup ball. At a time when we face colossal changes, unprecedented in their speed, scale and intensity – from the deepening environmental crisis, to giant leaps in science and technology – Hello World explains how design can help us to make sense of them andto turn them to our advantage. 'Hello World is a new book by Alice Rawsthorn, the one and only, the best design critic in the entire world. She keeps the banner of design flying high. Irma Boom designed it, and Irma is simply the best book designer alive' Paola Antonelli, Senior Curator of Architecture and Design at the Museum of Modern Art, New York Praise for Alice Rawsthorn's Yves Saint Laurent 'As gripping as a thriller, packed with plot, character and atmosphere' The Times 'Rawsthorn's excellent biography isn't merely a story about clothes, but of crises, comebacks and drug clinics, and as a document of the time it is compulsive' Evening Standard 'The best book I have ever read about the mesmerising cruelty of fashion' The Spectator 'Intelligent and pragmatic… this is a page-turner of a book' New Statesman 'What a story! A skilful interweaving of the artistic, business and emotional life of a great couture house' Mail on Sunday Alice Rawsthorn is the design critic of the International Herald Tribune, the global edition of the New York Times. Her weekly Design column is syndicated worldwide. A trustee of Arts Council England and the Whitechapel Gallery in London, she is chair of trustees at the Chisenhale Gallery and the author of an acclaimed biography of Yves Saint Laurent.
