The Most Podcast - Episode 34: Dan Thawley

On this latest episode: fashion force Dan Thawley, the Australian-born Editor in Chief of A Magazine Curated By, in conversation with your host Dominique! Also well-regarded as a frequent creative director, curator and contributor to Vogue, Interview Magazine, i-D, GQ, AnOther Magazine and more, Dan Thawley has taken on fashion from every angle in his international career, including retail work and modelling, making him one of those rare, truly holistic editors helming the most immersive designer-curated fashion magazine in print today.

Hear Dan retrace his journey from first tapping into his creativity as an indie rock theatre kid in Sydney to plunging headfirst into the fashion industry as a model as well as working in high-end stores and poring over the passion, craft and production processes behind his favourite designer garments. Dan details his personal growth throughout different periods of his own curiosity as he took the leap to London right as a recession hit and ended up steering one of Antwerp’s most fabled concept stores of all time - and eventually took on fashion bible ‘A Magazine Curated By’, first brought to life as N°A Magazine by Walter Van Beirendonck , Paul Boudens & Dirk Van Saene for the historic ‘MODE2001: Landed/Geland’ city fashion project.

Hear how ‘A Magazine Curated By’ clicks together, why the mythic 2004 Maison Martin Margiela issue was recently re-printed (if you’re quick, you can still nab one) and how Dan and his team collaborate with the industry’s most stalwart names, navigating the surprises and contrasts encountered along the way as legendary designers pour their spirit into a single print issue.
