Editorial standard
Stories explain the decisions behind the products.
01
Start with an idea worth reading.
Design, material, movement and technology stories should stand on their own without needing a product grid.
02
Bring products in only when relevant.
Merchandising is curated into editorial when the product genuinely belongs to the subject.
03
Keep the tone useful.
The journal is designed to add context, not manufacture urgency or repeat storefront copy.
