World 124, Exploration D

Snippet of magazine cover, title GRAZE, S/S 2026.

A popular fashion and lifestyle magazine from World 124, where city sheep roam freely eating the overgrown weeds, and their wool is in abundance to be harvested. Inside, you can see the latest trends in knitwear from around the country, meet the shepherds paving the way for wooly innovation, download patterns to make your garment from home, and even follow a day in the life of your favourite celebrity sheep. Since fashion brands are nonexistent in this world, magazines such as this one are important for keeping up with the latest trends, and advising civilians on how to get the best out of the sheep.

Does this World remind you of something?

I am keen to hear about any historical or contemporary real-world examples – whether individual practices, subcultures or mainstream activities – that this fiction brings to mind.

Please share any such examples using this form. Thank you!
