Jack Moss

Jack Moss brings a design-minded lens to fashion, connecting runway collections, brand narratives and cultural spaces with a focus on how clothes intersect with art, design and visual culture. He is Fashion & Beauty Features Director at Wallpaper*, having joined the masthead in 2022 as fashion features editor, and his coverage centres on global fashion weeks, accessories and emerging talent. His recent work ranges from deep-dives into luxury houses to close, season-by-season tracking of key trends, using interviews and archive access to explain why a collection or object matters beyond the catwalk.

Global runway circuits and fashion weeks

Moss covers the fashion-week calendar as a connected circuit, writing crib sheets and wrap-ups that map the narrative of each season across cities.

He produces guides such as “Everything you need to know about Paris Fashion Week”, which lay out debuts, collaborations and “names to know” for upcoming shows. Similar previews for Milan and women’s and men’s fashion weeks set expectations for Pitti Uomo, Milan and Paris, framing the schedule around key houses and new voices.

After the shows, he follows with selections of standout presentations, including pieces like “These were the best shows of Milan Fashion Week S/S 2027” and “These were the best shows of London Fashion Week S/S 2027”. For Paris, he leads live coverage and subsequent debriefs such as “The standout shows of Paris Fashion Week S/S 2026 – as they happened” and “Paris Fashion Week S/S 2026: live updates from the Wallpaper* team”, tracking how debuts and directional shows shift the wider conversation. He also writes trend-led overviews including “Six defining trends and takeaways from the A/W 2026 shows” and “These are the defining looks, accessories and trends of S/S 2026”, distilling runway volume into clear themes like silhouette, colour and attitude.

Within this circuit reporting, Moss brings designers’ thinking to the fore, as in his Milan coverage that highlights Prada’s interrogation of the skirt and Demna’s latest outing for Gucci. His analysis of Prada’s menswear, in a collection framed as “against useless design”, uses the language of utility and reduction to position the show within a broader move towards stripped-back menswear. Across these pieces he treats fashion weeks less as celebrity spectacle and more as a rolling design forum, focusing on how each collection contributes to fashion’s next chapter.

Designer interviews and brand narratives

Moss frequently anchors stories around conversations with creative directors and founders, using interviews to unpack how brands evolve.

Recent coverage includes a sit-down with Jonny Johansson ahead of Acne Studios’ 30th-anniversary show, exploring denim, community and the choice to avoid nostalgia as the brand marks three decades. He writes on Jonathan Anderson’s romantic Dior show, emphasising the “preciousness” of nature behind the collection, and on Demna’s sophomore Gucci outing, examining how an imagined museum-like runway set extends the clothes’ sculptural themes.

Beyond the catwalk, he profiles projects such as Stone Island’s London pop-up designed by Willo Perron, presenting it as a collector’s space that reflects the brand’s material obsessions. Features on collaborations like Paul Smith and Gabriela Hearst’s painterly capsule inspired by the British countryside focus on shared references and how they translate into fabric and form.

In his exclusive look inside the Burberry archive, he traces the story of the trench coat through eight key designs, showing how a single garment mutates over time through shifts in proportion, surface and cultural context.

Across his career Moss has interviewed leading fashion figures including Rick Owens, Pieter Mulier, Jonathan Anderson, Grace Wales Bonner, Christian Lacroix, Kate Moss and Manolo Blahnik. His writing on major houses often pairs these conversations with a detailed reading of spaces, sets and imagery, as in pieces that zoom in on Jonathan Anderson’s first accessories collection for Dior or dissect Demna’s museum-like staging for Gucci. The result is coverage where designer voice, brand history and visual environment are treated as a single narrative rather than separate elements.

Accessories, objects and the intersections of fashion, art and design

Moss regularly focuses on accessories and objects, treating them as design pieces rather than adjuncts to clothing.

He writes about evening bags as a renewed flourish of glamour, selecting eight of the best and situating them within a wider return to dressed-up nightwear. Features on The Row’s flip-flops and Dunhill’s “leather wardrobe” of bags emphasise architecture, materials and the way these accessories bridge work, travel and leisure.

His coverage of Dior’s “95.22” handbag revisits a 1990s icon through the lens of contemporary craft and reinvention.

This object-focused approach extends to interiors and retail, with stories on Tekla’s “soft and inviting” London store, Extreme Cashmere’s New York space for knitwear and furniture lovers, and Palace’s Shanghai store conceived as a contemporary take on the traditional Chinese garden.

In each, he describes layout, tactility and design references, showing how fashion brands build environments that mirror their collections. He also covers exhibitions and books where fashion crosses into art, such as an Annie Leibovitz retrospective framed as a journey from raw reportage to fantastical fashion photography, and a monumental Valentino volume presented as an Italian fashion epic.

Alongside these features, Moss produces gift guides and round-ups that keep the same emphasis on design, including a Wallpaper* gift guide built around his own fashion editor picks. He writes about archival projects like Maison Margiela’s ‘folders’ initiative, which combines runway shows, exhibitions and an open digital archive, highlighting the brand’s attempt to share process as well as product. Across these stories he consistently spotlights the points where fashion meets art, design, photography and furniture, reflecting an explicit interest in these intersections and in championing new international talent within them.

Background and wider contributions

Moss is Fashion & Beauty Features Director at Wallpaper*, having joined the title in 2022 as fashion features editor. Before that he held digital features roles at AnOther and 10 Magazine, and he has contributed to a range of international outlets across fashion and style. His work has also appeared in the Rizzoli volume “Dazed: 32 Years Confused: The Covers”, underlining his long-standing engagement with fashion imagery and editorial direction.

Wallpaper* describes his remit as a design-minded take on the world of style, spanning global runway shows, insider news and emerging trends.

That framing is evident in the way he connects fashion weeks, designer interviews, stores, exhibitions and accessories into a coherent view of contemporary fashion culture. It makes his coverage distinct from generic entertainment reporting, aligning it instead with in-depth, visually literate fashion journalism grounded in design, craft and creative collaboration.
