EDITOR’S LETTER

HYPER LINKED

OLIVIA PETRONELLA PALERMO • Few things mean more to Olivia Petronella Palermo than a morning cappuccino or her Grandmother’s Hermès scarf. Her area code may be Parisian, but she secretly dreams of vanishing to a ranch filled with rescue animals, fruit trees, and a wildflower garden.

COLOUR CODED

A CONSTELLATION OF MOTION • As Dior celebrates a decade of the Dior Lady Art project, artist Ju Ting shares how she reimagined the House’s most iconic bag.

TIED UP • The once-rigid symbol of hierarchy and restraint has been unfastened and reimagined across menswear and womenswear, evolving into a fluid emblem of playfulness and subversion.

NICKLAS SKOVGAARD • Danish designer Nicklas Skovgaard has carved a singular path in contemporary womenswear, weaving his own textiles into sculptural forms. His Copenhagen-based label, founded in 2020, thrives on an evolutionary dialogue between romanticism and realism, producing silhouettes that are as unexpected as they are deeply intentional.

FAIRYTALE ENDS • Constance McDonald chases the strange seams of reality - from Lithuanian long-hair pageants to English shell grottoes - collecting eccentric worlds that feel more like fairytales than fact.

WHAT IF PARADISE WAS ORDINARY • Wish This Was Real is a definitive second monograph from photographer Tyler Mitchell, whose dreamlike portraits of beauty and Black utopia have redefined contemporary image-making.

OUT OF THE VOID • Belgian electronic duo Soulwax on intuition, brotherhood, and the art of relinquishing control.

HEAVY METAL

NOTHING SUPERFLUOUS • Athena Hewett is the unconventional founder behind cult skincare line Monastery Made, a brand born out of her own struggle with acne and a deep respect for nature. A professional aesthetician turned minimalist formulator, she has built a following – from Sofia Coppola to Cate Holstein – by championing pared-back rituals and plant-based healing.

FOR GOOD • Often, beauty can be a force for good. From sustainability to social justice, meet the brands that are standing for – and positively contributing to – initiatives bigger than themselves. Do good, feel good.

REACH OUT AND TOUCH • In a world where beauty has become an increasingly digital experience, the industry is rediscovering the power of touch, feel, and in-person connection. From...
