Published twice a year since 2002, ENCENS is focused on fashion as artform from the perspective of designers rather than trends.

This issue from SS09 features 25 pages on Raf Simons prophetic reshaping of menswear, an interview with Dries Van Noten on his shift from embroidered to quaker, an essay on Geoffrey Beene strip-bare version of the American look, Violeta Sanchez on performing Yves Saint Laurent and Franco Moschino visionary head-to-toe, and Agnes B. on building her universe from an antifashion spectrum.
