Joerg Koch | 032c

Joerg Koch is the visionary founder and editor-in-chief of 032c, a publication often described as the thinking man’s fashion magazine, and the editor-in-chief of Ssense. Under his leadership, 032c has become a cultural icon, offering in-depth features and exclusive interviews with elusive figures like Martin Margiela. Koch's work extends to steering Ssense, a global e-commerce platform known for its carefully curated selection of high-end fashion. Ssense attracts millions of viewers monthly, with the US, South Korea, and China as its top markets. Lauded for injecting rigorous journalistic standards back into fashion publishing, Koch has transformed 032c into a significant cultural force since its inception in 1999. His editorial approach, which he jokingly describes as "Vanity Fair on crack," combines serious journalism with avant-garde creativity, setting a new editorial agenda reminiscent of The Face's heyday.
