Hi, everyone! It’s your Magazine of the Week!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The first and foremost reason this is this week’s Mag of the Week is to remind you to go see the Museum at FIT’s current exhibition Expedition<\/a> before it comes down on January 6th. It’s so cool that this mag used the Exhibition poster for their cover this Nov\/Dec 2017 issue! Plus it’s a super cool wintry image, isn’t it?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Selvedge<\/a><\/em> is published six times a year in London, United Kingdom. It was begun in 2003 by Polly Leonard, an embroiderer, weaver, and freelance editor. Leonard created a magazine that championed textile arts and artists while putting a visually sumptuous,\u00a0 creatively inspiring publication into consumer hands. Using her editorial skills and artist contacts, she began the title by making up a single-sheet prospectus and distributing it at a textile show This got her the subscriptions\u00a0(roughly 5000!!) she needed to put the magazine into production.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The magazine is a combination of gorgeous inspirational magazine, like Bloom<\/a><\/em>, with anthropological articles, like a textile-focused National Geographic<\/em><\/a>, on historic makers and art reviews of textile-based artists, like Parkett<\/a><\/em> or 032c<\/a><\/em>. Selvedge’s<\/em> website describes this, “dedicated to finding and nurturing textiles from every angle. We believe that textiles unite all humanity and in a surveying the development of society it is clear that from the spider’s web to the world wide web, textiles appear as the protagonist.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The internet has made it possible for the Selvedge<\/em> world to expand into a carefully designed shop specializing in textile art objects and decorative home goods. These have a similar hand-crafted, minimalist aesthetic to the Alabama Studio style<\/a> and other contemporary titles I’ve reviewed here<\/a>, such as Oh, Comely,<\/a> Frankie<\/a><\/em>, and Cereal.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n
