‘Manual for Freedom, Research, and Creativity’

The latest issue of iconoclastic fashion biannual 032c for Winter 2025/26 commences with a 40-page report on the industrial rock band Nine Inch Nail’s ongoing Peel It Back Tour—‘a piece of memorabilia for those who were there, and an archive for those who wish they were’—opening with an atmospheric photo diary, followed by an interview with the tour’s visionary creative director Todd Tourso, a setlist that also doubles as a historical record reaching back to the band’s 1988 inception, and, of course, culminating in a conversation with founder Trent Reznor and longtime collaborator Atticus Ross. 

Elsewhere, whispers of a wild 1998 Vogue shoot at Jil Sander’s Hamburg villa pave the way for Hamish Bowles investigation into the designer’s uncharacteristically maximalist home; Lancashire-native Tom Heyes (aka ‘Blackhaine’) settles the score, opening up to Claire Koron Elat about the process behind his experimental soundscapes and ‘punishing’ choreography; across the pond in sunny Sacramento all five members of Deftones sit down with Cassidy George to discuss the band’s contemporary appeal; and the 032c ‘X-Files’ introduce the likes of The Hellp, Joanna Kuchta, Raf Simons, Bruce Weber, Toshikazu Kayano and Sara Choi.
