Fusing Scandinavian minimalism with the traditions of French fashion, her unique collections are loved the world over. Elsewhere, this issue aims to celebrate a broader definition of design and architecture as we look at the future of construction. Read up on a recent collaboration between circular materials company EasyMining and Form Us With Love that has been exploring design-friendly uses for sand that is generated as a by-product of waste recovery. Continuing with this boundary-pushing theme, The Missing Thread: Untold Stories of Black British Fashion at Somerset House, showcases key moments in British design.
