Mode and Mode is a periodical that addresses printed matter in fashion practice. Each issue explores experimental publishing in fashion with an interview around a print-based project at the margins—one that has critical effects to fashion as a discourse—with the aim to level alternative, lesser-known fashion practices with contemporary fashion discourse.

Mode and Mode six ‘Art for All’ featuring an interview with Hans Ulrich Obrist on the publication point d’ironie co-founded with artist Christian Boltanski and agnès b., and a foldout poster created by Kate Meakin and Jessie Kiely.

Dictionary Dressings is an ongoing research project by Femke de Vries that uses the nature of the dictionary definition as a “zero condition” for a piece of clothing to decode clothes and explore an alternative fashion vocabulary.
