A Magazine Curated By

What A Magazine Curated By does

A Magazine Curated By is an independent fashion editorial publication founded in 2000 by Belgian designer Walter Van Beirendock, originally issued as N°A, B, C, D and E Magazines before relaunching under its current title in 2004 with an issue curated by Maison Martin Margiela. The company's defining mechanism is a guest-curator model in which each issue is entirely directed by a different prominent fashion designer, granting that designer full creative freedom to assemble photography, essays, and artistic collaborations that document their personal references and creative community; this format has produced 29 issues across 25 years featuring designers including Yohji Yamamoto, Haider Ackermann, Riccardo Tisci, Proenza Schouler, Thom Browne, Kim Jones, Alessandro Michele, Pierpaolo Piccioli, Glenn Martens, Willy Chavarria, and Cecilie Bahnsen. The product portfolio now extends beyond the flagship magazine into 'A Zine Curated For' (a smaller-format publication whose first edition covers Paris Saint-Germain), a special edition with Nike ('A Manual For Living Curated for Nike'), an experimental sub-brand called 'A Lab Curated By,' and a curated bookstore of printed matter sold through the brand's own Shopify storefront and via the official retail partner KD Presse alongside select global stockists. The business is privately held, founder-owned, and headquartered in Belgium with operating activity across Europe, North America, and Asia; commercial revenue derives primarily from print issue sales, brand collaborations, exhibition and event programming, and adjacent editorial merchandise, with no public revenue or funding disclosure available.

Core offering

A Magazine Curated By publishes a fashion and culture magazine in which each issue is guest-curated by a different fashion designer who has full creative freedom to express their personal vision, references, and artistic community. The publication produces collector-quality print issues, zine-format extensions (A Zine Curated For), and special collaborative editorial projects, distributing them via its own Shopify store, the KD Presse retailer, and global stockists.

Product overview

A Magazine Curated By is a fashion and culture publication that operates as a platform of multiple editorial products. The core offering is the main magazine, where each issue is guest-curated by a different fashion designer who creates an intimate publication exploring their creative vision and personal narratives. The publication has expanded into new formats including 'A Zine Curated For' (a smaller zine-format line, first edition with Paris Saint-Germain) and special projects like 'A Manual For Living Curated for Nike'. The brand also offers a curated bookstore alongside its online shop, and operates 'A Lab Curated By' as an experimental offshoot. The magazine publishes approximately one to two issues per year, with each edition becoming a collector's item reflecting the curator-designer's unique aesthetic perspective.
