Novella

SOURCE MATERIALS: A ZINE

For each Novella pop-up we try to publish an artwork and/or zine that encapsulates the collaboration/conversation.

In keeping with the theme of jewelry and fashion publishing, it felt right to make something that could be worn, and also read.

This zine is strung on a leather cord and hangs on a silver ring, and features:

“What We Talk About When We Talk About Jewelry,” a Valpak-style essay reflecting on the ornamental nature of jewelry copy, by Nate Hoe

“Works in Progress: A Studio Visit With Faris Du Graf,” a poster-word-picture-tour of Faris’ jewelry workspace in Interbay, Seattle

Faris Du Graf & Abigail Buzbee’s Reading Lists

A Novella bookmark

A stone of your choosing.

Come get yours at this Saturday and Sunday!

Leading up to our pop up at FARIS March 10-13th, we will be sharing a preview of the authors and publishers we will be featuring.

Next Up: Viscose Magazine

“Viscose is a new journal for fashion criticism. Launched between Copenhagen and New York in 2021, the irregular periodical will publish critical writing and projects by a wide range of authors from the worlds of art, fashion, literature, and academia. Through specially edited thematic issues, Viscose gives space to projects that challenge and expand the possibilities of research, practice, and critique of fashion.”

Featured Work: VISCOSE, Issue 2, “Clothes” (shown above) takes a turn from Issue 1’s focus on the immaterial notion of “Style” to focus on the material reality of “Clothes. This edition comes with a new format and binding method, and features a cloth garment “care label” sewn to the outer front and back covers. Featuring articles with Novella favorites such as and others, this issue asks, “What knowledge can we gather from the studying of fashion objects, be they material or immaterial? What is the difference between clothes and fashion? And to which extent is even “fashion" ever successfully signified by things?”
