Violet Issue 14

I AM BECAUSE WE ARE.

“So for us, how do you keep sane when everyone around you has gone mad? So the best thing I could do during this time was show up to the studio. With heavy heart. And a lot of anger. And for me, it was like, how do I pull out the beauty and the sort of, ascending quality that we all have within us during times of trauma and trial.”
—CASSI NAMODA, ARTIST

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.

Puss Puss – Issue 9 (SS19)

Isabelle Huppert – Lindsey Wixson – Freja Beha Erichsen – Cass Bird – Rose Daniels – Mette Towley – Lolo Zouaï – Oyinda – Khaite – Elegance Bratton – Greta Lee – Fabiola Alondra – Alana O’Herlihy – Emma Tempest and many more.

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.

Breaking Ground 

Architecture by Women

A ground-breaking visual survey of architecture designed by women from the early twentieth century to the present day

Jane Hall

At OH-SO we believe skateboarder’s strive to leave lasting impressions on the world around them. We aim to celebrate this with Issue 3! We’ve highlighted some female skateboarders who act mindfully to produce positive, memorable impressions — we hope they leave a lasting (an inspiring) impression on you too. One person who will leave a lasting impression on the world of skateboarding and who has set the standard for them all is Leticia Bufoni. We are grateful to have had the opportunity to interview Letica, Karen Jonz, Ynidara Asp, Dora Varella and so many others. We believe this is our best issue yet -- we think you will think so too.

Twin Magazine is a biannual Art, Fashion and Feminism Book

Issue 20 celebrates a landmark in Twin’s history: 10 years of championing women and emerging creativity. Fittingly, this issue is packed with interviews and contributors that embody our independent and boundary pushing spirit. Who more emblematic of that ethos than Katharine Hamnett? Her radical vision has consistently held power to account and advocated for sustainable values and the power of education. Or boxer Ramla Ali, who knocked out the idea that ‘women don’t box’ and became a champion – inside and outside of the ring. Both women shattered existing expectations to establish new rules of their own. Also in this issue, filmmaker Fenn O’Meally and poet Debris Stevenson talk feminism, community and creativity, dismantling the system one punchy takedown at a time. You’ll want to read this interview twice. These are the influencers of our times, but we’ve also asked leading creatives to talk about the icons who came before. Designers Michael Halpern, Mimi Wade and Art School’s Tom Barratt contribute loving family portraits of the women who originally inspired them. 

This anniversary, community is key. In ‘Queens of Scampia’, photographer Jess Kohl offers an intimate portrait of the trans women in northern Naples, while Lotte van Raelte’s discusses her open, natural portraits of women’s bodies in all their unique wonder. Francesca Allen’s ‘Tokyo Girls’ is a love letter to women and the city, while back in Britain, artists Jeremy Deller talks Stonehenge and his collaboration with Aries. And with a similar nod to the pagan, photographer Steph Wilson’s ‘White Nightmare’ conjures surreal and weird world where the white male has been overpowered and the freakish and strange rule. Looking back to look forward, Philomena Epps reflects on the original contributed for our first issue, in the context of where we are now. “The Age of Aquarius will last for another 2000 years”, she says, “but will we?”

Given the innovative creatives that have helped to promote original thinking over Twin’s last 10 years, the answer is probably, yes. The range of talent that has helped to establish the magazine’s pioneering voice is a reason to be optimistic about the future. Here’s to a bright, bold and disruptive decade ahead.

For the spring/summer 2019 issue of her. we have featured two huge talents on the covers. Starting of with Snoh Aalegra, the soulful musician photographed by Kenneth Cappello, while the other cover features the impressive Dree Hemingway shot by Magnus Unnar. This issue also features an in depth look at the Levi’s® Made and Crafted® collection with the help of talented flower artist Azuma Makoto, the Jacquemus line, the newly launched Plan C, as well as a look at Erika Karata and think pieces on makeup artists Erin Green and Kanako Yoshida. Significant fashion editorials include Nepenthes, Dries Van Noten, Chika Kisada and DEPT.
