“There is a pivotal point in the life of a work when I’ve done all I can, and then I’m obsolete; I totally vanish.” @anne_imhof AUTRE “Citizen” FW24 🏴‍☠️ WYWG out Dec 5 on @pan__hq WYWG is a deeply personal survey presenting several new bodies of work that reflect on and further develop a number of core elements that have constituted Imhof’s repertoire from the outset. Throughout the exhibition, Imhof explores notions of finitude, reality and artifice, chance and fate, absence and presence, set against a backdrop of postapocalyptic isolation. #anneimhof #contemporaryart #artistspotlight

Autre’s FW25 “work in progress” issue is officially out now. In the pages of this issue, we took an experimental, provocative, deconstructed approach. We stripped our logo from the cover. We stripped the ads from the inside pages. We zoomed into the contemporary nature of work AND process in the 21st century—a gig economy of burnout and radical inequality. From prehistoric biology to PR to movie making and race car driving. How do we survive, creatively, in a time of extreme existential crisis? The issue is also, loosely, an exploration of magazine making and the role of cultural synthesizers in a time when print media is more exciting and more read than ever, but is virtually unsupported and challenged by algorithmic, attention driven social media and AI. In our cover story with Betsy Johnson, she curates five years of artifacts—notes, relics and trash—from her creative process to reveal a psychological portrait of an artist of our time.

Midnight, the stars, and you ✨ Last night, at the expansive new @laeyeworks campus in Los Angeles, Autre Magazine invited guests on a journey through space and time to celebrate its FW25 “Work in Progress” issue. The evening opened with a captivating panel featuring @caltechedu astrophysicists Katherine de Kleer, Cameron Hummels, and Mike Brown, moderated by Autre’s managing editor @summer.bowie , who guided a conversation spanning black holes, dark matter, and the possibility of life beyond Earth. The discussion gave way to an intimate cocktail soirée, where guests mingled under the stars with drinks courtesy of @madremezcal . photographs by Oliver Kupper #autremagazine #event #nightlife #workinprogress #laeyeworks

“We wanted to destroy art—museums, galleries, everything.” Marta Minujín In conversation with @hansulrichobrist for AUTRE WIP (🔗 in bio) Marta Minujín with her first mattresses in her studio on rue Delambre, París, 1963 #martaminujín #hansulrichobrist

Last week in Paris, AUTRE brought together Shayne Oliver, Frank Nesbitt, and a mix of new and old friends to toast the WORK IN PROGRESS issue with an intimate in-store celebration at @cahiercentral on the occasion of @artbasel in the city of lights #wip #cahiercentral

First stop off the plane from Paris for an up close and personal peek at Dario Vitale’s brilliant and romantic debut collection for @versace at @justoneeye in Los Angeles . A brilliant collection of high and low materiality—from silk to denim. Bold colors and fusion of 1980s high glam with a tinge of 1920s Italian modernism and lots of sex appeal. Unbuttoned flies and open slips with a selection of prints from Gianni’s early 90s collections—including his iconic Miami collection. And of course lots of Medusa insignia who was raped and murdered for her beauty and turned into a monster. Even the mannequins were custom made for this collection-a collab between Dario and 100 year old Milan based @larosa_mannequins #versace #dariovitale #medusa

Paris, nous t’aime. From le Grand Palais to la Chappelle Saint-Louis de la Salpêtrière, Karl Lagerfeld’s library and house , to Lafayette Anticipations, we zigzagged across la Ville-Lumière, sometimes by chauffeured car, but mostly by Metro. We ended the week at Cahier Central to share our FW25 Work in Progress issue with new and old faces alike. Merci à tous qui sont venus et à la ville généreuse. #artbaselparis #paris #cityoflights
