MacGuffin is an unusual design and crafts magazine. It features fabulous stories about the life of ordinary, often anonymously designed things. Each biannual edition takes an object and explores the manifold stories it generates. Like the MacGuffins in Hitchcock films, these things are not the main characters, but the plot devices that set the story in motion.

Dress up with MacGuffin Nº 7, dedicated to an object that is not just a garment, but more so a mirror of power and desire: The Trousers. MacGuffin puts the pants on one leg at a time with survival gear, working uniforms, tent slacks, yoga leggings, hammer pants, men’s skirts and the big question: ‘what is in the pocket’?
