Classic textiles and changing attitudes meet in an issue dedicated to timeless beauty. We visit the Parco dei Principi Hotel in Sorrento, designed in the 60s by Gio Ponti, and photograph 71 year-old model Benedetta Barzini. Elsewhere Amanda Carr demands the right to grow old gracefully, fashionably, energetically, gently – or in any way she chooses. On the 200th anniversary of the death of Christophe-Philippe Oberkampf, founder of the factory that popularised Toile de Jouy, V&A curator Sarah Grant explains the ongoing appeal of this decorative fabric. And even a touch of nostalgia creeps in when Ptolemy Mann meets the charming creators of Bagpuss and the Clangers. OUT 16 APRIL
I am looking forward to receiving the May/June issue with my subscription, but, I never received a response from Selvedge regarding why issue number 63 JUST ARRIVED in my mailbox THIS WEEK? I understand I live in USA but issue number 63 was beyond late I thought my subscription had lapsed. It is very unusual for the Selvedge team to not respond to my emails. I hope the business is going well as I LOVE each issue of Selvedge and tell my friends it’s worth the price to receive a magazine that is so far ahead of any fashion/fiber publication ever produced in USA.
