Dear Shaded Viewers,
Inside FORM Times—a new publication where six perspectives, including my own as an interviewee, illuminate fashion’s poetic afterlife.
FORM is captivating on its own terms. Launched in beta with $8M of boutique-sourced archives, FORM’s core is a seamless union of commerce and scholarship: each garment arrives with its full story, provenance, and context, transforming the platform into a collector’s true sanctuary.
But the real artifact of desire is FORM Times—the print companion, available in three collectible covers and structured by time itself. The publication’s core is six distinctive interviews: conversations with legendary figures who have marked the fashion landscape. Among them are Michèle Lamy, AF Vandevorst and Filip Arickx, Mia Khalifa, Kevin Davies, Paul Nicholson—and myself, not as an author but as an interview subject, sharing my journey, atmosphere, and cinematic recollections as shaped by FORM’s questions.
The story told here, visually and editorially, is FORM’s. FORM helps keep fashion’s archive vibrantly present.
Images on this page are exclusive to FORM, as are the moving pictures. Byronesque is both compass and anchor, but FORM is my new voyage: a new keeper for the poetic afterlife of fashion objects—where documentation, scholarship, and narrative unite and seduce.
Later,
Diane
