In May 2024, Beyond Noise hit stands as a sustainable two-volume print magazine, housed in a slipcase, with cover stars including the New York Times chief fashion critic Vanessa Friedman, Ayo Edebiri (shot by Tyler Mitchell), Vittoria Ceretti (shot by Zoe Ghertner), plus a cover with new photography by Catherine Opie—more to be announced. The Editor-in-Chief of Beyond Noise, Sarah Richardson, has assembled a stacked team that includes co-founders Richard Bush and Stefan Ericsson, along with Holly Shackleton, Anders Christian Madsen, Lucia Pieroni, Magnus Edensvard, Tom Macklin, Christopher Michael, Fran Burns, Venetia Scott, Julia Lange, Marina Testino, and Omar Karim with Gareth Hague and Sara Hemming Studio working on the issue’s physical design.
Contributing photographers for the inaugural issue include Mario Sorrenti, Craig McDean, Juergen Teller, Malick Bodian, Larissa Hofmann , Gray Sorrenti, Mélanie + Ramon, and Sam Taylor-Johnson.
The debut issue will open with an urgent and inspiring manifesto, penned by conservationist Dr. Jane Goodall (the manifesto will sit in place of the traditional editor’s letter, penned by a different visionary woman each issue). There will be a deep dive into Azzedine Alaïa’s archive; op-eds by Sarah Mower, Joan Juliet Buck, Nada Alic, and Mindy Seu, among others; a feature on punk metamorphosis revisiting Alexander McQueen’s 1999 No. 13 finale; a photo portfolio depicting rewilding efforts in Patagonia by Laurence Ellis; original fiction; and much more.
