A Magazine Curated By N°30: Hiroshi Fujiwara

A Magazine Curated By is a biannual fashion publication that invites a different designer or creative figure to curate each issue as a deeply personal editorial project.

For N°30, Hiroshi Fujiwara — widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in Japanese streetwear and contemporary fashion — looks beyond a straightforward retrospective of his own work. Instead, he brings together the interests, memories and references that have informed his thinking across fashion, music, art and culture for more than four decades.

The issue includes a photographic inventory of Fujiwara’s personal possessions, a series documenting places around Tokyo that hold particular meaning for him, and contributions from artists including Ai Weiwei, Keita Morimoto and Ana Scripariu-Ochiai. A collaboration with VVS Tools imagines a catalogue of products that have never existed, while other stories move through music, film, history and independent journalism.

Rather than explaining Fujiwara through his archive alone, the issue works more like a mind map — a collection of influences and curiosities that reveals how ideas travel between disciplines and how his particular approach to culture has developed over time.
