‘The fabric of your life’ Selvedge celebrates textiles and cloth from historical and contemporary standpoints, with a practical and inspirational edge too. Celebrating the full spectrum of colour, this latest issue, themed ‘Aurora’, takes its cue from Scandinavian design and the Nordic concept of hygge, where long dark winters shaped a taste for bold palettes, cozy knit wear and joyful patterns. Inside, a tour of fashion designer Dame Zandra Rhodes’ vibrant penthouse; Harriet Wallace-Jones’ chromatic weaves; and the striking prints of Marimekko. Also inside: Valentino’s creative director Alessandro Michele presents his first haute couture collection and a deep dive into the rich English history of silk weaving. selvedge.org
