As New./No Jacket - As Issued.. 160pp, profusely illustrated in color. Designed by McWhirter Studio. This second and latest installment of Creative Director Alexander McWhirter's thematic annual art and fashion journal, Public, tackles the challenge “We Must Take Action”. It features seven subjects photographed by Camille Vivier, Jack Webb, Eileen Cowin, Thomas Giddings, Aleksandra Zagozda, Moises Saman, and Rachel Lamb, with styling by Delphine Danhier, Eliza Conlon, and Shibon Kennedy.
Notes McWhirter: "The obvious is all around us. It is a void in which everything has been fine-tuned to such an extent that indistinctiveness prevails. "Cool" has become inoffensive and predictable, and taste is easy to place a pulse on. Issue 1 of Public breaks this pattern of democratized cool, bringing together a body of work that covers a unique perspective on subjects in life".
