| | Bill Prince, editor-in-chiefIn the October 2025 issue of Wallpaper* – out now – we give the magazine over to a selection of long-form stories that we feel warrant the unique perspective afforded by print. Given the clamour to create in a multiplatform environment, we believe offering time and space to a series of in-depth articles further enriches our engagement with the world. And by honouring the true value of a medium that privileges rich visual executions, expansive reporting, and the careful juxtaposing of topics and projects, we hope this goes some way to revealing something pertinent and insightful about broader shifts in culture and life, too.

Across the October issue’s 300 pages, we bring you the methods and motivations of a plethora of promising and world-class creatives, including the landscape architects renewing our relationship with the natural world; and the visionary fashion designer Craig Green, whose London atelier we visited, the better to unpack his extraordinary talent. We also explore the idea of home, through a plethora of artists making domesticity their muse. This week, we mourned the loss of Giorgio Armani, the arbiter of elegance who led his fashion house for over 50 years. At age 91, he leaves behind an empire and a remarkable legacy. And in the world of architecture, conversation was dominated by this year's RIBA Stirling prize shortlist (including a nod to the globe's most famous clock tower) and the unveiling of a new Herzog & de Meuron project on the banks of Lake Geneva. We were there to take a tour. |
Welcome to the Landscape Architects’ Directory |
This year, a deep dive into landscape architecture brings a refreshing shift to the long-standing Wallpaper* Architects’ Directory, an annual listing of promising practices across the globe. For 2025, our survey of exciting studios heads outside, as we sample the inspiring international talent that is transforming the environment around us. We cast our net far and wide, taking in young as well as established practices, exploring diverse iterations of what landscape is, and spanning Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania. |
Backstage and in the studio with Craig Green, free spirit of British fashion |
|
British fashion designer Craig Green has been steadily building a cult-like fan base that reveres his innovative, emotional and fearless interpretations of archetypal male attire, writes Jack Moss. His collections can often feel like a Rorschach test: are these clothes for protection or adornment, celebration or mourning? Are air tubes, wrapped around a parka jacket, for life support, or are they helping you breathe in a distant dimension? Are inflatable tabards meant to evoke lilos or emergency rafts? And, while this might occasionally make a Craig Green collection impenetrable – the designer works by a kind of free association, the logic of which might be only known to himself – his clothes are anything but evasive. Instead, they are immediate, visceral – he doesn’t tell you what to think, they are clothes to make you feel. For S/S 2026, he delivered an extraordinary collection that riffed on horror flicks, flower power and the Fab Four. Wallpaper* spent time with Green backstage at the Paris show and also at his studio in London’s Docklands, to find out more about his vision, inspiration and process. |

The artists reframing the domestic world |
Scottish painter Andrew Cranston believes that ‘all the world’s problems stem from a person’s inability to be happy in their own room’. It’s a sentiment that underpins a centuries‑old fascination with domestic interiors, from the Dutch Golden Age to the contemporary art world. Cranston, whose thick oils conjure food‑strewn tables and shafts of light, sees his dreamlike scenes as ‘little deviations from the story’. Hannah Silver traces that lineage through Bonnard and Vuillard to contemporary voices such as Danielle Mckinney and Caroline Walker, whose richly atmospheric paintings capture the quiet labour and intimacy of everyday life. Others, like Cece Philips and Koak, use interiors to probe identity, femininity and power. Meanwhile, Nina Raber‑Urgessa’s contorted bodies and Do Ho Suh’s translucent fabric rooms reimagine the house itself as body and shelter. Join us to consider how the spaces we occupy reflect – and shape – our inner worlds. |
