CAP is new to AOC, although it’s been on Models.com since 2017 and has just published issue #11. Founded by Antonio Mosogiuri (IG), the vision behind CAP 74024 is expressed in these words:

“CAP 74024 is not an erotic magazine, it’s not an art catalogue and it’s not a book about costume …. It is a thought. A thought that turns around eros, art and fashion. . . . It’s hard to label it, just because it is so different, starting from its name. Almost impossible to be pronounced or even remembered. . . . Eros, art, fashion. Three macro areas which describe many aspects of everyday life, areas that we wanted to cover through a sex paraphilia: voyeurism, the desire to observe, without being observed, what who is next to us is intending to carry out. The other’s lifes become much more interesting than our own.”

AOC shares this editorial for three reasons: 1) I love it; 2) In these financially-treacherous times, talented creatives need all the support we can give each other. AOC has become a highly-respected, international platform for showcasing curated creativity, and I will do all that I can to help our community; and 3) I’m saddened to watch a decade-long, significant diminishing of the nuanced expression of eroticism and eros in fashion and culture.
