A Magazine Curated By celebrated the launch of our 24th issue curated by Erdem Moralioglu MBE over a candlelit dinner on Thursday, November 26th at Sessions Arts Club, London. The British-Turkish fashion designer and creative director of his eponymous label ERDEM invited family, friends and contributors to the intimate affair, hosted in collaboration with MATCHESFASHION.

The evening began with speeches by editor-in-chief Dan Thawley and Erdem himself, poignantly thanking the collaborators featured within the issue.
Guests included Keira Knightley, James Righton, Alexa Chung, Neil Tennant, Jenna Coleman, Sheila Atim, Maria Balshaw, Nicholas Cullinan, Nadine Ijewere, Omari Douglas, Christopher Kane, Simone Rocha, Nick Beighton, Ola-Oluwa Ebiti, Emma Elwick-Bates, Charlie Porter, Frances von Hofmannsthal, Sarah Mower, Anj Smith, Tim Blanks, Charlene Prempeh, Maureen Paley, Jerry Stafford, Raven Smith, Thomas Persson, Tish Weinstock, Tom Guinness, William Waterworth, Kaye Donachie, Olgaç Bozalp and Trinity Ellis.
