The fashion magazine with a difference, Mildew focuses on secondhand clothes to create a beautifully warm, nostalgic picture of what we wear. There’s a strong ideological angle too – Mildew’s vision of secondhand provides an alternative to the social and environmental damage done by fast fashion, and even extends to alternative models of ownership. And because none of the clothes on its pages are for sale, it’s a rare example of a fashion magazine that’s not trying to sell you anything.
In this issue:
