212 — Issue 21 / Dear John (Spring/Summer 2026)

Issue 21 of 212 takes its title from the farewell letter — that older, slower act of putting feelings into words and sending them away — and uses it as a frame for thinking about how we address our own moment. 'Dear John' is part reckoning, part introspection, and part search for a different register in which to talk to the present.

212 is a semi-annual, large-format magazine that approaches its themes through interviews with creative practitioners across disciplines. The result is more essay collection than monthly title: closer in feel to a book than a magazine, and a useful counterweight to the faster cycle of the rest of the fashion-and-culture shelf. UK cover price £16.
