A Magazine Curated By celebrates 25 Years of Curation and Creation with the opening of an immersive exhibition at Union de la Jeunesse Internationale.
Bringing together 32 past guest curators, the exhibition, designed by Ciguë in collaboration with Matthieu Prat (Diplomates) and Simon Chaouat, extends the magazine’s universe beyond the page.
Objects on display include Yohji Yamamoto’s pack of cigarettes, Jun Takahashi’s silk teddy bear made for A Magazine Curated By Pierpaolo Piccioli alongside his interpretation of a Hermès Kelly bag, Kris Van Assche’s Libertad o Muerte necklace, Stephen Jones’ Planetarium hat and Giambattista Valli’s old iPhone with personal photographs.
In addition, designers contributed silhouettes representing their signature styles, including Glenn Martens (Y/Project), Kim Jones (Dior), Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez (Proenza Schouler), Yohji Yamamoto, Peter Do, Thom Browne, Martine Sitbon and Lucie and Luke Meier (Jil Sander).
The exhibition also features the magazine’s complete digital archive, presented in full for the first time in collaboration with SOOT, offering visitors a chance to explore the visual and narrative evolution of A Magazine Curated By.

An immersive soundscape composed by Studio Ingmar weaves together every piece of music ever referenced in the magazine’s history, and excerpts from curators’ and editors’ letters, narrated by Editor-in-Chief Blake Abbie, guide visitors through an auditory journey shaped by the voices and sounds that define A Magazine Curated By.
With our 25-year legacy now unfolding in a physical space, A Magazine Curated By continues to celebrate the visionaries who have shaped our identity — on the page and beyond.
25 Years of Curation and Creation is on view until 30 March at Union de la Jeunesse Internationale.

To mark its centenary, Loro Piana has opened its first-ever exhibition: If You Know, You Know: Loro Piana’s Quest for Excellence. Held at the Museum of Art Pudong (MAP) in Shanghai, the show offers a quiet, layered portrait of the Italian house — a brand synonymous with the rarest materials, measured innovation and an almost obsessive devotion to craft.
A Magazine Curated By celebrated the launch of the special issue A MAGAZINE CURATED BY: 2000/2004–2025 with an opening event and exhibition preview at L’Union de la Jeunesse Internationale on Thursday, 6 March.
At Kunsten Museum of Modern Art Aalborg, fashion designer Stine Goya brings her distinctive vision to the museum’s vast collection. Through vibrant colors, tactile staging, and a deeply personal exploration of separation, Goya reimagines the artworks, creating a poetic and sensory exhibition that transcends traditional curation.
