Odalïsque Magazine is a skilfully curated fashion, culture, and art magazine.

Inside: Designer duo Rave Review's approach to fashion that is seemingly inspired by Goethe’s viewpoint.

Heroine 13: Made of Light

The wonder of moving image – of shared experience and fantastical dreaming – have never been more relevant, or potent. Cinema may have moved temporarily to the small screen, but its stories, and storytellers, are more passionate than ever. For this issue of HEROINE we speak to some of the industry's defining voices about their visions for the future.

On the cover: DAKOTA FANNING

One of the most magnetic actors of a generation, Dakota Fanning has worked consistently since uprooting from Georgia at the age of five, and despite only turning 26-years-old this past February, has over 30 movies under her belt. For this issue the actor looks towards her third decade and how she can contribute to bringing untold stories to the screen with her production company, and is in conversation with Golden Globe-winner Kate Hudson and shot by Danielle Levitt, with fashion by Christian Stroble.

Also in this issue:

“What set the brilliant performances apart from the very good ones is that wholeness of a human being,” says Andrea Riseborough, whose roles have increasingly allowed her space to mine the depths of human thought and behaviour. For this issue, Riseborough is shot by long-time friend and HEROINE contributor Niall O'Brien.

Rachel Morrison was the first female cinematographer to receive an Academy Award nomination ("Why there are so few is entirely illogical"). Her work on Black Panther carved an aesthetic like no other; Morrison answers 100 questions about her career, and improving the gender imbalance in the industry.

Cultural chameleon Michele Lamy's band LAVASCAR combines spoken word with elemental drum loops. For this issue the three members of the band talk about curating inspiration from poetry and primordial rhythms. 

Julien Dossena conjured Paco Rabanne Fall/Winter 2020 from ideas of power, sisterhood and forces of the unknown. We interview the designer about the collection: a celebration of unity and uniquely female strength.

As actor Myha'la Herrold’s new HBO show Industry hits screens, she talks to us about navigating new experiences while maintaining a voice that promotes visibility, community and representation, and is shot for the issue by Michael Avedon.

Olivia Cooke has swerved conventional pathways for lived experience, portraying almost a decade’s worth of characters by the age of 26, whether lusting after Norman Bates as wide-eyed Emma Decody in Bates Motel, or gallivanting through a virtual universe in Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One. For this issue she is in conversation with friend and fellow actor Paapa Esidou (who joined the Royal Shakespeare Company in 2012 and received rave reviews for 2020’s BBC series I May Destroy You).

When Parasite became the first foreign-language film to win Best Picture at this year’s Oscars, it not only marked a crowning moment for South Korea’s film industry, but a long-overdue recognition of East Asian cinema’s rich and dynamic history. HEROINE features editor Finn Blythe takes a deep-dive into the complex and varied past of East Asian Cinema, in Shattered Dreams and New Beginnings.

Plus: Legendary photographer Ari Marcopoulos' latest installment of CHAOS, a unique zine collaboration only found in the pages of HEROINE, Mark Seliger and Paul Sinclaire's black and white portrait series with iconic model Erika Linder, Dan Beleiu and Dogukan Nesanir's Trek, Fabien Montique and Erik Raynal's Litay and Thomas Cooksey and Inês Bizzaro's Joy Ride.

Double – Issue 40

AUTOMNE-HIVER 2020

"What I really like about Double magazine is the way this magazine deals with what it really loves, not only about the last news or last trends but mixing with news from the past. I mean we always try to mix energy that cannot disappear according to us and that could fit with the most relevant from today. An example? Never forget Paddy McAloon when you want to talk about pop music in England today ; never forget the designer Bob Mackie when you want to talk about the spectacular way of shows today. " – Fabrice Paineau

Antidote – Statements Issue FW 2021

Antidote is a twice-yearly fashion magazine of international scope. A publication with the ambition to become an Indispensable event every six months, based on a captivating theme.

Antidote remains true to its original concept, creating a book-like publication, by offering a different guest photographer the opportunity to co-produce each issue.

The opportunity each season to deliver the unique vision of such artists as Giampaolo Sgura, Hans Feurer and Victor Demarchelier to a sophisticated readership in search of innovation.

Each issue consists of contributions from writers chosen for their rapport with the theme in question: sociologists, historians, film directors, novelists, journalists, artists, etc.

A diversity of tones that contributes to the vibrancy and completeness of the perspective offered by the magazine.

As farsighted in its editorial as its fashion presentations are visionary, Antidote announces the trends to come in a powerfully creative milieu that endows it with unparalleled prescience.

Twin – Issue 23

2020 hasn’t given us much to laugh about, but it has changed our experience of time and space. This year we’ve slowed down, ground to a halt, accelerated, activated, organised, experienced deep grief and pure joy all at once, sometimes at the same time. With a global pandemic keeping most people at home, we invited contributors to explore their surroundings, to work with what they had around them.

The result is Twin’s personal issue, and we’re honoured and excited to have been able to create such a rich, intimate, thought provoking magazine at this genuinely strange and largely unprecedented time (remember when that wasn’t the opening line to every single email...?) thanks to the independent, dynamic spirit of our contributors.

At 26 years old, Dilone is one of the leading models in fashion, and wields her influence powerfully. Our cover star model and activist explores the power of protest and community in an interview with Jordan Anderson. The brilliant Leah Thomas, founder of the Intersectional Environmentalism movement, drills into systemic racism within environmentalism. She explains why activism needs work across social justice and sustainability in order to make impactful change, with portraits by Nolwen Cifuentes. And in ‘Words and Pictures’ photographer Jermaine Francis and director Akinola Davies discuss Francis’ portraits of graffiti that were taken during lockdown in London and how they embody our political reality.

2020 is a time to celebrate radical visionaries, so in this issue you'll also find a rare interview with the iconic Californian pioneer of performance and print, Barbara T. Smith. Kate Neave profiles the inspirational installations of Dominique White. Also, Jess Clark talks to Byredo founder Ben Gorham and beauty maverick and artist IsamayaFfrench about future colour theory. Photographer Sharif Hamza captures moments of fleeting beauty, style icon TziporahSalamon, captured by Ben Rayner, offers a love letter to New York post- lockdown. At home, Lara Johnson-Wheeler delivers a love letter to romance and recipes, while in ‘Subversive Skin’, Isabella Davey profiles the new designers changing underwear.

And so much more! As winter looms, get up close & personal with this latest issue; be inspired and energised to face this brave new world we’re in.

Hunger – Issue 19

For HUNGER’s 19th issue, we’re excited to announce a theme that we know resonates with these urgent times: DIY. So far this year, we’re in the midst of a pandemic and a recession, all while finally beginning to address the long-ignored realities of systemic racism. Dodging past crumbling systems and making change when no-one else will, a new wave of activists, punks and artists are claiming the future for their own – and we want to give them the credit they deserve.

Our DIY Issue is headed up by six talents who embody this radical spirit. Actor Malachi Kirby appears in frank conversation with close friend and Black Panther star Letitia Wright and Academy Award-winning director Steve McQueen ahead of the release of Small Axe, an anthology series based on the experiences of London’s West Indian community. Paapa Essiedu opens up about working on cult hit I May Destroy You. In an era where LGBQTIA+ rights are continuously under threat, pop star Kim Petras gets candid about growing up trans in rural Germany and the need to show up for her community, no matter what. Mercury Prize-nominated rapper and Top Boy star Little Simz talks about life after critically-acclaimed album Grey Area, the emotional lows of quarantine and finding new purpose. The last of our cover stars, genre-defying musician Bree Runway discusses online trolls, battling colourism and how therapy is teaching her to love herself. Debuting in October as a Digital Cover, Ziwe, the host of Instagram show Baited with Ziwe – where she speaks to guests such as Caroline Calloway and Alyssa Milano about race – talks to fellow comedian Athena Kugblenu about mixing education with entertainment. Our Art Section is guest-edited by Ghanaian-born, London-based multidisciplinary artist Harold Offeh, In the spirit of Audre Lorde, he spotlights three artists making their own tools to dismantle the Master’s House: filmmaker and flagmaker Tanoa Sasraku, moving image artist Michelle Williams Gamaker and multimedia artist Zadie Xa.

The DIY Issue’s Documentary Section hones in on themes of community, featuring a profile of photographer Callum Malcolm-Kelly, who highlights southeast London nightlife and culture, and an investigation into the commodification of arts education alongside a series of portraits of Central Saint Martins students. Away from the capital, Nathan Appleyard explores the lost teenage summer in the Yorkshire countryside and further afield, Mexican photographer Nelson Morales documents the third gender muxe community in Oaxaca. Closing the issue, our Speaker’s Corner Section features op-eds from the founder of The Free Black University Melz Owusu, model and In Their Shoes author Jamie Windust and Camden Youth MP Athian Akec.

212 Magazine - Issue 10

Future Shock, Autumn/Winter 2020

We’re delighted to present our TENTH issue, ‘Future Shock’, for Autumn/Winter 2020. We borrowed the theme for our tenth issue from the title of the book penned by futurist writer Alvin Toffler in 1970, in which he claims that ‘the future arrives too soon and in the wrong order’. Summing up the term ‘Future Shock’ in a 1973 Alex Grasshoff documentary of the same name, narrator Orson Welles explains:

‘Future Shock is a sickness which comes from too much change in too short a time; a feeling that nothing is permanent anymore; it’s the reaction to changes that happen so fast that we can’t absorb them, it’s the premature arrival of the future. For those who are unprepared its effects can be pretty devastating.’

We were never going to be prepared, but it seems as though, as of 2020, we’re embarking on our journey into the future defeated. We devoted this issue to understanding, seeing and discussing the effects, triggers and aftermath of this shock. Without giving up on our dreams, we set our sights on topics we can’t ignore.

After a journey to Italy Holiday magazine heads to Saint Petersburg. Photographers Jamie Hawkesworth Krisztián Éder Dmitry Markov Bruno Staub Bryan Liston and Gosha Rubchinskiydeliver their Russian visions on the spot or from afar while Olivier Kervern captures the grace of Natalia Vodianova and François Halard offers us a double journey to the immortal city of the czars and through time.

Puss Puss – Issue 9 (SS19)

Cats are said to have nine lives, but what about their humans, especially the creative kind? In many ways, every new job, project, house move or even haircut is a new chapter in our own story. In this issue, being our ninth, we explore how we can have many different incarnations, sometimes simultaneously, and celebrate all the different creative identities that make us who we are, and who we might be next time around.

Writer Alex Hawgood and photographer Kathy Lo profile six New Yorkers all making their way through a creative reincarnation of sorts – from art book dealer and gallerist Fabiola Alondra to filmmaker, collage painter and clothing designer Jack Greer. We meet the dancer Mette Towley while she is in London filming the big-screen adaptation of the musical ‘Cats’ and T. Cole Rachel interviews the formidable French actress Isabelle Huppert. Alix Browne chats to Khaite founder Catherine Holstein about clothes that women want to wear in real life and the French-Algerian singer Lolo Zouaï tells us about her big takeover.
