The third issue of "BILL," a visual magazine edited and designed by Belgian graphic designer Julie Peters. It is an experimental publication that could be called a "magazine without words," minimizing explanations through text and captions, and allowing readers to interpret images through sequences of photographs, paper, printing, and the act of turning pages itself. This issue is a "Special Archival Issue," constructed using materials from the personal libraries of Peters and RareBooksParis, which collects rare fashion-related books and printed materials. By extracting images from existing publications and rearranging them in a different order and context, a new visual story is created from the two archives. Particularly noteworthy is the composition in which diverse images, including previously unpublished lookbook photographs of Martin Margiela, 1990s Japanese street fashion by Shoichi Aoki, known for "FRUiTS," Hysteric Glamour, Anders Edström, and Ettore Sottsass, intersect without any hierarchical order. The editing style, which breaks down the boundaries between fashion, art, documentary photography, and everyday records, and gives new relationships to existing images, reflects a spirit of reinterpretation reminiscent of Margiela. Using different paper for each photo story, the paper quality and printing itself function as an editorial language, making this a book that explores the possibilities of photography, graphic design, and archiving.
