Spring Fashion Issue 2026

The Cut’s fourth solo print issue is about artists asking questions and making work that insists on being felt. We follow Katseye during a rare pause in their relentless schedule to see how ambition looks when it’s shared. We welcome the return of Robyn as she thinks aloud about motherhood and reinvention. We sit with Steve Lacy, who is in the midst of writing his next masterpiece. And so many of you asked to see Rama Duwaji in print that we knew we had to listen. Plus: Cathy Horyn’s Spanish road trip with Loewe’s designers, gentle parenting’s reckoning, the debut of our matchmaking column “Both Sides of a First Date,” and so much more.
