ALSO is a space for exploration. A platform that challenges narrow definitions of fashion, identity and what it is to be a woman.

Fashion asks us to define: to name trends, to locate origins, to draw lines between what is and what isn’t. But what if we linger in the spaces between; between cultures, identities, past and future? We invite you to rethink who gets to be seen, heard, and remembered in fashion’s evolving narrative.

After seven years, we’ve reimagined ALSO; a space where we soften hierarchies allowing for new ways of seeing to take shape. Thank you to SOUP for creating this space.

We’re grateful to our contributors from Amsterdam, Cape Town, Lagos, London, Stockholm, and Tokyo, whose work brings this issue to life. Their perspectives remind us that fashion is not a fixed story, but a living archive of possibility.
