SPRING / SUMMER
2020春夏
CONTENTS



As this magazine goes to print, COVID-19 has disrupted the globe on an unprecedented scale. It is the first pandemic of the social media age, and its effects are no longer simply filtered by media outlets: we are witnessing the immeasurable impact on the lives of our peers and colleagues—and local individual and government responses, sometimes brilliant, sometimes disheartening—on every continent.

In the early 2000s, China accounted for only 4% of production in the world. It is now responsible for 20%. The supply chains and productions are so tightly integrated in all businesses worldwide that an outbreak in Wuhan spreads into markets and industry as quickly as the virus does from person to person. It’s a manifestation of how globally we operate today—and of how the center of power and trade has shifted to Asia. The weeks ahead will show us whether we can embrace how international we have truly become, working together to overcome. What is certain is that there is no way back, in our view, only a move towards a new understanding of community, collective action, responsibility, and how we share and work together. At SSENSE we embrace this energy in a magazine that depicts a collision of perspectives—historical and futurist, pop cultural and niche, sloweddown and hyper-accelerated—from both sides of the Pacific Ocean.

Our latest covers speak to this sentiment, and feature two SSENSE collaborators: Petra Collins and Kerby Jean-Raymond of Pyer Moss. Collins has designed her first capsule collection, to be released exclusively at ssense.com, and Jean-Raymond, an ongoing creative partner, puts his passion for cars on full display in our interview with Antwaun Sargent.
