g. The Journal of Wear
The Journal of Wear is an anthology interested in the clothes we feel, think, play, work, and live in, examining how and why garments are incorporated into ordinary life. First conceived as a series of digital articles in 2022, The Journal of Wear features narrative-style interviews that capture the wearer’s unique voice and story from their perspective with the writer’s.

By entering one’s wardrobe, an intimate and private space, readers are invited into real, lived human experiences of sartorial joy and troubles. These stories portray the banality of clothing oneself alongside the awe and spectacle that “ordinary” clothing contains and evokes, inviting readers to ruminate on the everyday clothing they encounter, seeing them as not just tools and objects of self-expression but means of greater storytelling.

In its first printed iteration, The Journal of Wear is situated in Arnhem, the Netherlands.

Find physical copies or buy online at Warehouse and San Serriffe (Amsterdam, NL) and Torpedo Books (Oslo, NO).
