A Blog Curated By has an interesting interview with the designer Kris Van Assche about all his experieced curating the "A Magazine Curated By Issue#7".
" Dan Thawley: Your invitation to curate A#7 came at a crucial point in your life – as you began working with Dior in early 2008. Was it a hard decision to make A Magazine at this important time?
Kris Van Assche: Not really… It was a time when I was totally focused (more than ever) on ‘who am I’, ‘where do I want to go?’, ‘what are the differences between my own brand and Dior Homme?’, etc… It was actually quite healthy to put this reflection ‘on paper’ as you asked me to do.
DT: What are your strongest memories of making A Magazine?
KVA: “Each collaboration felt like a victory. With Dior, I felt like the whole world was pointing bazookas at me, so the fact to have people like Sarah Moon, Nan Goldin, Jeff Burton etc. accept to be part of this project was huge. There was the discovery of the new work of Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison … I knew their older work and contacted them to ask if I could print some… So they ended up showing me all this new stuff which was great!
