As the year comes to a close, we look back at the most popular features in Current from the past 12 months...

1) On 7 April, to coincide with launch of I Am Love, actress Tilda Swinton answered Jefferson Hack's modern interpretation of the original Proust Questionnaire. Tilda revealed bagpipes make her cry, that she believes fireworks to be the greatest invention and the best advice she's ever been given is not to be jealous.

2) In our Art Talks column, an insight into the works of our favourite artists, as seen by them, Terence Teh caught up with Swedish electro pop duo The Knife and Berlin-based American DJ, performance artist, producer and musician MT Sims.

3) In the Cut is a column written by Harriet Walker and illustrated by Zoë Taylor, uncovering the hidden meanings behind the season’s collections. In March, Marios Schwab's dirndl was the focus. In his autumn/winter collection, the designer explored various avenues of womanhood, from sci-fi body-con to column-skirted romance, but this mainstay was the — literally — the full skirt with a gathered waist, often worn with a laced bodice.

4) In October, Kate Moss was a Guest Lover, choosing inspirational products and posting on the AnOther Loves stream including homemade jams and a Hermès blanket. In My Favourite Things the supermodel chose the novel Geek Love by Katherine Dunn.

5) In June, Derek Peck caught up with model and musician Irina Lazareanu in his column New York Minute.

6) In March, Hong Kong boutique Joyce brought together Rodarte and Maggie Cheung for a special collaboration to raise money for UNICEF. The collaboration was featured in our In Pictures column, featuring a gallery of images taken by Wing Shya during the making of his short film and the original sketches of the dresses by Kate and Laura Mulleavy.

7) In February, Karl Lagerfled shared the visual references and making of stories behind his Chanel Haute Couture SS10 collection entitled Neon Baroque.

8) Earlier this month, supermodel, muse and wife of a Rolling Stone for the majority of the decade, Bianca Jagger was the subject of our Vintage Style column, a retrospective look at the style icons of the past.

9) In AnOther’s Lovers we unveil our favourite upload to AnOther Loves, and share a few words with the contributor who posted it. In November, we spoke to Alistair Allan about his choice of Detroit's 1929 Michigan Theater transformed into a parking lot.

10) To coincide with Polly Morgan's first solo show at the Haunch of Venison in August, the taxidermy artist spoke to AnOther columnist John-Paul Pryor in an exclusive film.
