インディペンデントマガジンとして同世代の多様な声や視点を掬い上げてきた『HIGH(er)magazine』の第7号は、アンダーウェアブランド「HEAP」のコレクションと連動し、「Blooming」がテーマ。創刊から約10年という歳月を経て、これまで撒かれてきた小さな種子がどのように芽吹き、成熟していくのかを、生活の中にある「ものづくり」を通して丁寧に見つめ直した一冊です。

本誌では、生活と地続きの服づくりを実践するファッションブランド「osakentaro」のデザイナー、長賢太郎（Kentaro Osa）のアトリエを訪問。庭の畑で育つ野菜の成長とともに、日々の暮らしと制作について交わされた対話を収録しています。また、『STUDY magazine』の編集長である長畑宏明を迎えた座談会や、ドレスデザイナーの八木華と共同制作されたHEAP初のコラボレーションコレクションのビジュアル、元パラリンピック選手・辻紗江へのインタビュー、HIGH(er)編集部による写真日記、包括的性教育のワークショップの記録など、個人的な視座から社会への接続を試みます。

HIGH(er)magazine Issue No. 7 “Blooming”
182mm × 257mm, 96 pages
On sale October 1, 2025

HIGH(er)magazine Issue No. 7 is a publication created in collaboration with the underwear brand “HEAP,” centered around the theme of “Blooming.”

It has been roughly 10 years since we launched HIGH(er)magazine. The small seeds we have sown over the years are slowly sprouting over time. While observing this transformation and maturation, we reflected on the act of craftsmanship within everyday life.

For this issue, we visited the atelier of Kentaro Osa, designer of the fashion brand osakentaro—which continues to create clothing as an extension of daily life—from spring through summer. While watching the vegetables grow in his garden plot, we spoke with him about clothing design, daily life, and life itself.
We also include a roundtable discussion featuring Hiroaki Nagahata, editor-in-chief of STUDY magazine.

Furthermore, we feature visuals from HEAP’s first collaboration collection, “The Bride of Hell,” created with dress designer Hana Yagi, as well as interviews with Hana and her sister, artist Tsumugi Yagi.

In the serial feature “chat with us: BODY,” we interview former Paralympic athlete Sae Tsuji. The issue also includes numerous projects that attempt to connect with society from a personal perspective, such as a photo diary by the HIGH(er) editorial team and a record of a comprehensive sex education workshop.

Sensibilities, relationships, and forms of expression nurtured within daily life.
This is a volume that celebrates the things that slowly begin to sprout.
