A Magazine Curated By Lucie and Luke Meier

The 21st issue of A Magazine has been curated by Lucie and Luke Meier, former co-creative directors of Jil Sander. In a process beginning in July 2019, the Meiers have approached their ‘carte blanche’ project for A Magazine as a call for reflection and an open dialogue on the dualities of the one theme that is present in all of their work – HUMAN NATURE / MOTHER NATURE.

Historical works from the Meiers’ distinct canon of modern art favourites are juxtaposed with new imagery from a host of new and established names in photography across 200 pages arranged in the form of visual ‘plates’ in the tradition of art book publishing, with the issue’s text component appearing as a ‘legend’ to close the magazine. Fashion from the archives of Jil Sander, designed by Lucie and Luke Meier, and OAMC, a menswear brand designed and co-founded by Luke Meier in 2013, appear across the pages in a portfolio by Olivier Kervern and portrait stories featuring the musician Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) by Julia Hetta, and Kelsey Lu by Richard Bush. A keen emphasis on family sees many projects executed by teams consisting of husbands, wives, brothers and sisters, as well as drawings by children from the Meiers’ extended family and friends.
