Press & Media Requests

THIS IS NOT AN OPEN PRESS PORTAL.

THIS IS A REQUEST FOR PERMISSION TO WITNESS.

ARCHFIEND® does not seek visibility.
We authorize interpretation.

We engage with select media entities, cultural platforms, and independent voices whose coverage reflects critical literacy, visual integrity, and ideological rigor.

If you're seeking clickbait, virality, trend lists, or mass-market fluff — do not proceed.

THE KIND OF PRESS WE ENGAGE WITH

We selectively collaborate with:

  • Design journals that operate like archives

  • Experimental fashion publications with a stance

  • Cultural critics who understand subcultural linguistics

  • Video essayists working at the intersection of fashion and theory

  • Platforms with a distinct voice, not an algorithmic tone

What we avoid:

  • Aggregated content sites

  • Style blogs reliant on affiliate links

  • Media lacking editorial backbone

  • Anything that tries to "make us relatable"

You don’t interview ARCHFIEND®.
You translate the architecture.

REQUESTS MUST INCLUDE:

Submit your inquiry dossier to:

📩 press@archfiend.systems
Subject: PRESS — [Your Name / Platform]

Include:

  • The publication or platform’s name and mission

  • A list of past features or critical articles (3 minimum)

  • The proposed format: print, digital, video, audio, etc.

  • The conceptual angle you're approaching

  • Your readership or viewership demographic (if relevant)

  • Timeline and distribution details

We review all requests internally.
Expect clarity, not urgency.

AVAILABLE PRESS MATERIALS

Upon acceptance, we provide:

  • Encrypted access to press kits per capsule

  • Brand dossier including core philosophy, visual codes, and timeline

  • Interview availability with select studio leads (if context warrants it)

  • Licensed use of select visual assets, annotated and curated

  • Statements from the core team, formatted for editorial use

We do not grant carte blanche.
We curate our own narrative — with or without you.

IF YOU DON’T KNOW THE CODE,

YOU DON’T GET THE STORY.

ARCHFIEND® is a layered system, not a trend object.
Coverage must reflect its construction, not dilute its purpose.

If you understand the difference between fashion content and cultural criticism — we’ll read your request.
