A panoply of uncanny visions unfurls across these pages, showcasing the most dazzling of the Autumn/Winter 2024 collections. AK Blakemore is plagued by Titivillus – the demon who wavers at the shoulder of the scribe, causing her to slip and make errors in their copying – and he won’t let her be. This bickering doubling continues as two figures entwine, exchanging clothes, merging forms, becoming an unsettling singularity. Then a gloom descends and from its depths twin apparitions materialise, emitting a spectral glow. In Paris, the devotees of an emerging cult converge on the steps of Sacré-Coeur, but the gathering disintegrates as they slowly dissipate, melting back into the city like salt in water.
