EDITOR’S LETTER
CONTRIBUTORS
STELLA HINTON • Stella Hinton doesn’t do quiet. She’s still pinching herself – but only to feel how real it all is. A Taurus at heart, she moves through the world chasing sensation: salty ocean air, wide open skies, something sweet on her tongue. From Whangarei to Bondi, her surroundings may shift, but one thing doesn’t – she’s never toned it down. If you don’t like it, you’ll just have to look away.
GIRLS
Over the Threshold • As fashion Houses lift the curtain on their archives, access – not just to product, but to process – is becoming the new frontier for luxury.
ENTIRE STUDIOS • When New Zealand-born, Los Angeles-based creative Dylan Richards-Dia approached longtime friend Sebastian Hunt in 2020 about founding fashion label Entire Studios, the intent was to find a coalescence between luxury streetwear sensibilities and thoughtful, accessible design. Sculptural volume, monochromatic palettes and utilitarian silhouettes define the label built on contrast – structure against softness, precision against distortion.
A SECOND LIFE • A life marked by trauma, defiance and near-death is transmuted into an uncompromising body of work by artist Tracey Emin in her retrospective, A Second Life, at London’s Tate Modern.
RURAL REBELLION • Ahead of her forthcoming solo exhibition, One Minute to Midnight, Lebanese-Australian artist Marion Abraham reflects on her career so far and the constant negotiation required during times of crisis.
NO WORD FOR BLUE • Publisher and curator Michael Mack takes us behind the curtain of Yorgos Lanthimos’ latest photography book VISCIN, and its accompanying exhibition in Athens. Born from images made in the margins of Lanthimos’ latest film set, yet resistant to narrative, VISCIN unfolds as something more tactile and indeterminate, inviting viewers into a uniquely personal kind of interpretation.
DANCE ME TO THE END OF LOVE • Swedish popstar Lykke Li is no longer chasing romance, but wrestling with God, time, and the uneasy task of turning life’s ugliness into something worth feeling.
