As guest curators they were given the oppertunity to 'explore and produce a content that expresses their aesthetic, their cultural values and their philosophies as believes'. It is an innovative project for the designers which gives the outsider - the reader a view from within their creative minds.
The #9 issue of A MAGAZINE curated by Proenza Schouler is build up from the concept of ‘MADE IN THE USA’ featuring work of American artists and contributors - friends and people with whom theyve wanted to collaborate with on this project.
The result is an issue with several stunning images/photoshoots, a content that takes in-depth philosophies and articles that all relate to the under laying theme ‘MADE IN THE USA’.

Issue #9 A MAGAZINE was launched at Pitti Immagine fashion fair in Florence, Italy during the summer of 09 and later displayed in the windows of Opening Ceremony in New York, Colette in Paris, and Do Your Read Me?! in Berlin.
Layout of A MAGAZINE CURATED BY PROENZA SCHOULER will be on the site of http://www.amagazinecuratedby.com in march of 2010.

BEATRICE BOYLE
AFTER EXHIBITING HER GRADUATION PAINTINGS AT THE DEGREE SHOW IN JUNE OF 2008 AT THE ROYAL ACADEMY - BEATRICE BOYLE WAS APPROCHED BY JEMMA DYAS AT BROWNS FOCUS TO COLLABORATE ON DESIGNS FEATURING HER ARTWORK. BROWNS FOCUS HAVE LONG BEEN GOOD TO SPOT THE INNOVATIVE TALENTS - THE RESULT OF THE COLLABORATION BETWEEN BOYLE AND BROWNS IS A CAPSULE COLLECTION OF GRAPHIC T'S, TANKS AND T'S DRESSES. FOR THE GRAPHIC PRINTS BOYLE USED PICTURES OF FRIENDS AND DISORTED THEM WITH HER PAINTWORK, TURNING THE PHOTOGRAPHS INTO IMAGES OF IMPERFECTION, MYSTERY, DARKNES AND LUST. THIS SAME APPROCHE WAS USED IN BOYLE'S GRADUATION WORK, BUT HERE IMAGES WERE FLAWLESS GLOSSY IMAGES RIPPED OUT OF MAGAZINES AND ADVERTISING CAMPAINGS
- 'IT'S THE JUXTAPOSITION OF THE GLAMOROUS AND THE SORDID, THE GLOSSY AND THE SINISTER...THAT'S WHAT INTERESTS ME' - BOYLE.
