Last month the 10th and final edition of Wallet was published. Wallet was always meant to be a finite publication series of 10 total issues, each with its specific theme and duration. These themes have constituted a holistic conversation-like narrative tackling various issues within the fashion industry; be it authority, publishing, education, space, retail, casting, marketing, technology, criticism and archives.

On that occasion, Wallet is launching a special project today the Wallet wallet” a limited edition, collectible box set produced in a run of 100.
