Alex Eagle Launches Vogue Column on Modernism's Influence

Alex Eagle, a London-based designer and creative director, has launched a new monthly column for Vogue titled 'Eagle Eye on… Modernism.' The column explores the intersections of interior design, fashion, and art, focusing on modernist principles of reduction, material honesty, and longevity. Eagle discusses how modernism informs her personal style and curatorial approach, emphasizing 'fewer, better things.' The inaugural installment features contributions from Bettina Korek, CEO of Serpentine Galleries; Lily Atherton Hanbury, co-founder of Le Monde Béryl; and Sophia Roe, founder of The Garment. Korek cites the Serpentine Pavilion program as embodying modernist spirit, while Hanbury references Le Corbusier and Chandigarh. Roe points to Donald Judd's considered work. The column also highlights contemporary brands like The Row, Rier, and Auralee Tokyo, and notes a return to restraint at Salone del Mobile 2023. Eagle includes shoppable product recommendations, from Il Conico kettles to Sophie Buhai jewelry.
