Viscose 08: SOUND

The eighth issue of Viscose explores the relationship between fashion, music and sound cultures. Sound emerges as an immaterial yet powerful medium through which fashion operates atmospherically — from runway soundtracks to the sonic environments of retail spaces.

Music shapes fashion’s sense of time, reinforces novelty and weaves clothing into broader cultural contexts and collective memory.

This issue approaches fashion as a soundscape: from designers’ playlists and musical subcultures to the everyday sounds of garments and production processes. Viscose 08 asks whether fashion can be understood entirely through sound — and whether that experience can be translated into the language of print.
