Design Under Pressure examines creative work under constant demand, shaped by speed, control, expectation, finance and visibility. It looks at how pressure changes the way ideas are developed, how creative people protect their work and what’s left when ambition meets demand. The issue addresses pressure as one of the defining conditions of contemporary culture, present throughout fashion, film, music, design, architecture, art and public life.
Born in Auckland, New Zealand, Fowler has built an international career in runway, editorial and commercial fashion.

Alongside this opulent work, Fowler achieved mainstream pop-culture fame by earning a coveted spot on Victoria’s Secret Fashion show, walking the runway for three consecutive years from 2016 to 2018.
