On the evening of March 6, A Magazine Curated By celebrated 25 years of Curation and Creation with the launch of A MAGAZINE CURATED BY: 2000/2004–2025 and the opening of an immersive exhibition at Union de la Jeunesse Internationale, hosted in collaboration with SSENSE.
Designers, artists and longtime collaborators gathered for the occasion, including curators Stephen Jones, Simone Rocha, Lucie and Luke Meier, Kris Van Assche, Martine Sitbon, and Erdem Moralıoğlu, and key figures from fashion, art and publishing.
Set within the historic walls of TATI, the evening unfolded in the spirit of the magazine — creative, intimate and free. Louise Chen curated the night’s soundtrack, an eclectic mix reflecting A Magazine Curated By’s long-standing dialogue with music.
With the valued support of NetJets, the gathering brought together friends and collaborators old and new in a celebration of shared sensibilities. Drinks for the evening were offered by Tequila Komos, Hoxxoh Champagne, L’Acrobat Gin, Fever Tree and Iessi.
The night also marked the opening of a week-long series of public talks, bringing together voices from fashion, publishing and design to discuss independent magazines, the future of fashion and the intersections between fashion, art and community.

I’m drawn to the books by their cover, their texture and design; it must catch my eye instantly for me to pick it up. I need a book to intrigue me! I like to spend the whole day reading through my initial selection, as there might be books by many artists I don’t know yet. I can spend more than two hours in a single bookstore, checking every book until I am exhausted. Then I go sit down and get a coffee. And then come back to it again.
