Peek inside the new issue of cult interiors mag Scenery

Imagine if you put a luxury biannual fashion magazine, a few copies of The World of Interiors from its heyday in the 1980s, the photo albums of Peter Schlesinger, and maybe a dash of L’Uomo Vogue, into a saucepan and melted them together. You’d probably get something resembling the new issue of Scenery, the interiors magazine helmed by Simon B Mørch, which launched last year.

Exploring interior design through the lens of fashion, the debut issue of Scenery takes us inside the homes of some bona fide fashion legends (think: Karl Lagerfeld muse Amanda Harlech, Random Identities designer Stefano Pilati, and super photographer/stylist Venetia Scott), with contributions from Dazed family members like Alister Mackie, Katy England and Ellie Grace Cumming, and photographers like Malick Bodian, William Waterworth and Nikolai von Bismarck.

“I think most fashion people have a really strong sense for decoration, curating and putting things together,” Mørch said at the time. “Interiors and collecting have been a big part of my adult life and I think it’s very natural to combine all these qualities into one thing … Scenery!”

The magazine has since picked up fans in Kate Moss, Kim Jones and Andreas Kronthaler and toasts its latest issue tonight (July 18) in London. The new edition features exclusive imagery from the photo albums of the aforementioned artist and author Peter Schlesinger, as well as stories from Italy, Lebanon and beyond. Mørch takes us inside the homes of models Jonas Gloër and Kiki Willems, sculptor Shawanda Corbett, Kim Jones (look out for his Yoda figurines and Lalanne cat), and many others.

Yet while these spaces are all very romantic, they’re also very real. “We’re definitely interested in the messier, more real, more human side of people’s homes – we prefer it if people don’t get it all styled and arranged for us,” Mørch said in an interview with AnOther. “We want to see how they really live, and all the fascinating details and textures and tiny corners of their homes, not sanitised widescreen shots where every item has been meticulously arranged.”
