Jaiden James Interview
Jaiden James is a rebel. He left home at a very young age for London. After a long bout of self-discovery, he met his partner-in-crime, then student at London College of Fashion, Rasharn Agyemang. At first, it was an innocent swapping of magazines, which led to a clothing line. Long story short they’ve shot their way into the industry dressing Lady Gaga and publishing a magazine called...

Maria Carla Boscono + Natasha Poly / Willy...
Maria Carla Boscono and Natasha Poly take to the stage for W. Reminiscent of 14 Actors Acting, their presence is snapped by Willy Vanderperre for the March issue. Ever since he shot the Proenza Schouler campaign I couldn’t be more partial to his work. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but it’s sort of like the moment you open a window — at first you notice a slight breeze, then...

The Cutting Class
How many fabrics do designers use for their shows? How the hell do they make the garment drape like that? All these questions that I’ve never bothered to ask have not only piqued my interest, but have been answered by the anonymous people who run The Cutting Class.

Andrej Pejic + Gold Digger / Dazed & Confused

Eyemazing Magazine
It’s rare that a magazine cover captures my attention and wrestles with me to withdraw my wallet from its comfortable position in my back pocket. Eyemazing almost accomplished such a feat. I only say almost because I was quite disappointed with its content. If it looks too good to be true, it probably is. However, that won’t stop me from applauding their every effort in creating...

Willem Jaspert
Not only is he a master of black and white, but I would go insofar as to describe his muted use of colour paradoxical. It’s stark quality preserves the realism that is wiped away by so many other photographers of similar style. It keeps things raw and interesting. Having quit his job in Mexico as Fashion Editor for Harper’s Bazaar Latin America, he started assisting for Corinne Day and...

Domingo Rodriguez + Hero Magazine
Apparently introducing yourself isn’t what it used to be. You might have already heard, but it’s fashion week in Paris. And although it seems as if menswear just ended, the sleepless hard workers of this industry just keep pushing forward. I honestly don’t understand how designers afford time for ethnic excursions in search of inspiration. It’s one thing to sit here and...
