When Gary introduced the idea of a printed magazine for the brand, I was more than excited to run with it. A return to my print roots, Interval was an opportunity to create something with a life beyond the product itself: a lifestyle publication reflecting DUER's point of view, the people and ideas that inspire it, and the things we believe worth writing about.

For Fall/Winter 2026, we developed the publication from the ground up, shaping the editorial direction and conceptualizing each article with an excited spirit. Having the freedom to work across every aspect of the magazine, from its visual language and typography to the layout and pacing of each spread, was a welcome return to the kind of hands-on, print-led design that first shaped my practice. There’s something different about designing for a physical format, knowing the work will be held, read and returned to, rather than fleeting past on a screen.

We invited contributors whose perspectives align with DUER's philosophies and who had something interesting to add to the conversation. Our longtime stylist partner, Leila Bani, put her spin on crucial Fall looks. An Ontario flower farmer offered a poetic stance on noticing the ebb and flow of colors in nature. We were inspired by the POV of two local artisans and their approach to innovation and craft, and we spoke with stuntwoman Jen Clarke, who’s job is done a little easier in DUERs. And in an effort to scientifically prove that denim with stretch does indeed make life more effortless, we worked with the leaders in pressure measurement technology to capture the data.
