The Return of the Shreds
“This collection is inspired from the waste that the fashion industry creates. Shreds, second-hand clothes are upcycled and given a new preciosity. The silhouette of the outfits are inspired from 17th century royal garments, in contrast with today’s fast fashion items.”
poesia
The series of photographs is presented shrouded in darkness, with only one or almost only one source of light, the verses of poems projected directly on the bodies of the posing models. This combination combines the worlds of typography and fashion, creating a unique visual experience.
Peace Fake Love
The fashion industry is a master of weaving narratives that sell not just garments, but ideals—promising us a slice of originality, authenticity, and even concepts like peace, love, and sustainability. Slogans on clothing collections serve as powerful marketing tools, luring consumers with the allure of social responsibility and moral virtue. Yet, beneath the surface, questions linger about the tangible impact of these messages and the authenticity of mass-produced fashion.
GAMBERRXS
JUAN VG is not just a brand, it’s a statement. It’s for those who dare to stand out, who embrace their individuality with pride. These pieces are a expressions of freedom, creativity, and rebellion. From edgy hand-painted designs to bold airbrush creations, each garment tells a story of defiance and authenticity. Born in Valladolid, the designs draw inspiration from the raw energy of the grunge scene in contrast with the Spanish “pijo” style. creating a style that is both distinctive and daring.
LD-13
Berlin. Paris. New York. These are all places where designer Lisa Deurer is present at Fashion Weeks with her brand LD-13. Somewhere between glossy and punk, her creations are always characterised by the avant-garde. To match this, we have customised a new look that is always loud where it is allowed to be, and takes a back seat wherever fashion and photos take centre stage.
“W Glitch” T-shirt
The “W Glitch” is a limited-edition t-shirt that delves into the interplay between our digital and physical identities, examining the effects when these two realms intersect. The shirt showcases a distorted typographic composition that introduces contrast and tension, yet maintains a harmonious and cohesive fashion piece.
Festival für Neue Musik
“The Festival for New Music” is a two-day event at the Konzerthaus Bielefeld for the free interpretation of classical music in the transition to improvisation and experimentation. New shoes for new paths. The somewhat differently staged admission ticket in the form of a Typo Chuck for a “meet & greet” behind the scenes.

In a patriarchal system there is no justice for those affected by patriarchal violence.

rearrange
The idea of the workshop was combining random pocket founds via scanning and editing into posters. The concept of the workshop is from Sandra Doeller.
In the next step the designs were transferred onto scarfs. The most interesting frames of both were picked and then the colors on one scarf was changed entirely and on the other one the color scheme of the original poster was recreated.

Blinded by Nothingness
While living in a prototype for the typical German small city, K 0105. took several circumstances and moods as an impetus to find mindful methods for escaping the alleged “nothingness”. The concept of the Flâneur served as an act of taking off one’s blinders of monotony and simultaneously finding the unknown beauty in the known cityscape, like the bold “DAS BAD” neon sign on the facade of the municipal swimming pool next door. On the garment itself, it opens up another process of rediscovering.
Kleidografie – typographic exploration of a long-sleeved shirt
Collaborating artists Marie Walser and Louisa Grambole combine their specialities by experimenting with the placement and design of typography on garments. Analog and experimental they explore various methods how letters, words, sentences or even entire texts can be shown on the different parts of a long-sleeved white shirt. Beyond traditional paper mediums, clothing opens up endless possibilities of playing with different materials, textures and the dynamic relationship between text and body.
Zimile
Zimile is the image of an image. She is the visualization of a self-narration. A two-dimensional interpretation of a three-dimensional character of a four-dimensional person. She is confused by her role as a woman. Zimile struggles with her self-discipline to self-actualize in the shadow of fulfillment culture and its disenchantment spiral. She is a typeface, textile pattern, work wear and an attempt at a self-portrait in one.
Experiments in Type
A series that explores the variety of ways type can be utilized in the world of fashion.
MODE D’EMPLOI (photo n°1/2/3) HYBRIDE (photo n°4) MEMORIES photo n°5
Françoise Hoffmann creates original hybrid « nuno » textiles, combining felt –hand-made with a mix of carded wool fibres– and silk. After spending several years learning traditional felt, she then started inventing her own new techniques by playing with textures, materials, colour and prints, as well as her own photographic work, she explores a wide and varied artistic vocabulary.

Joy Display
Joy Display is eccentric, dynamic and unconventional. It is experimental and multi-faceted. Both the typeface and its earrings were inspired by the expressive hand-letterings and jewelry of the 70s, an expression of queer joy.
Ugly Cute
Ugly Cute is exaggerated in every way: this typeface is wider, more important, better and worse than it has any right to be. Ugly Cute is fantastic, it’s annoying, it’s flamboyant, it is queer. The Ugly Cute Jacket is this typeface come to life – blown up, extreme proportions. A hand-sewn quilted jacket in contrasting, gaudy colors. Huge sleeves, ultra cropped & a collar standing so tall, it swallows its wearer up to the eyes. This ugly cute jacket is one of The most eye-catching pick-me pieces.
AH22
Re-imagined battle jacket, visually inspired from patched vests of various, glorious subcultures.
Content-wise a summary of and homage to the personal garderobe.
Concept-wise a change of hierarchical importance, to value up the obsolete artifacts into the main visual object.
Slanted Magazine #43—Ukraine
This Slanted issue is not about war. Instead, it delves into the lives of remarkable individuals within the creative industry in and hailing from Ukraine, as they endeavor to maintain a semblance of normalcy amidst their diligent efforts. This narrative underscores the inseparable bond between culture and design, raising the question of its feasibility.
During the NEED conference in Warsaw in early September 2023, the Ukrainian delegation motivated the Slanted team to initiate a magazine dedicated to the Ukrainian design sphere, advocating that “better now than never!” Without their invaluable assistance, input, and valor, such an endeavor would have been inconceivable. The editorial policy refrains from producing issues centered on a city or country if physical presence isn’t feasible, as the essence of a place cannot truly be captured from a distance. However, with each new connection established, the palpable tension among individuals becomes increasingly apparent, underscoring the universal impact of current circumstances.
The sheer volume of nearly 1,500 submissions was overwhelming, and the selection process inherently subjective. Despite meticulous deliberations, every decision, formulation, and work runs the risk of being perceived as flawed, insufficient, or misunderstood. The compilation features 20 interviews with designers and creatives both within and beyond Ukraine, offering diverse insights, responses, and perspectives.
Many of the showcased works and texts reflect upon the ongoing war, which has persisted for over two years. Despite this, there remains a glimmer of hope for its resolution, with a collective aspiration for design discourse to eventually transition to other topics. This issue serves as a significant contemporary time capsule, a testament to the profound impact of design, and an expression of Slanted Publishers’ unwavering commitment to this cause.
The magazine features three different covers with artworks by Mykola Kovalenko, Dasha Podoltseva, and Anna Sarvira (no selection can be made).
Also, check out our Limited Special Edition #43; it includes 10 stickers featuring designs by artists from Slanted Magazine #43—Ukraine. Stick your message! #standwithukraine
