Puss Puss Issue 13

Cole Sprouse – Taylor Hill – Celeste – Arlo Parks – Griff – Jordan Barrett – Iris Law – Stella Lucia – Klara Kristin – Cosima and many more.

If there is one thing the past year has taught us it’s how we took so many things for granted that are so important and make our lives worth living: hugging parents and grandparents, meeting friends for dinner and drinks, travelling. The spirit of this issue is about not putting things off and doing them while we have the chance as nobody knows what tomorrow will bring. In an uncertain world where it’s impossible to make plans, we celebrate the present. Welcome to issue 13 of PUSS PUSS – The Here & Now Issue!

Extra Bold is the inclusive, practical, and informative (design) career guide for everyone!

Part textbook and part comic book, zine, manifesto, survival guide, and self-help manual, Extra Bold is filled with stories and ideas that don't show up in other career books or design overviews.

• Both pragmatic and inquisitive, the book explores power structures in the workplace and how to navigate them.
• Interviews showcase people at different stages of their careers.
• Biographical sketches explore individuals marginalized by sexism, racism, and ableism.
• Practical guides cover everything from starting out, to wage gaps, coming out at work, cover letters, mentoring, and more.

A new take on the design canon.
• Opens with critical essays that rethink design principles and practices through theories of feminism, anti-racism, inclusion, and nonbinary thinking.
• Features interviews, essays, typefaces, and projects from dozens of contributors with a variety of racial and ethnic backgrounds, abilities, gender identities, and positions of economic and social privilege.
• Adds new voices to the dominant design canon.

Written collaboratively by a diverse team of authors, with original, handcrafted illustrations by Jennifer Tobias that bring warmth, happiness, humor, and narrative depth to the book.Extra Bold is written by Ellen Lupton (Thinking with Type), Farah Kafei, Jennifer Tobias, Josh A. Halstead, Kaleena Sales, Leslie Xia, and Valentina Vergara.

Twin has always championed radical creativity. The artists, designers, photographers and writers who dismantle structural norms and put their independent, individual stamp on the world. So when it came to launching our first ever guest editor issue, it made sense to invite somebody who not only embodied our core values, but set a new precedent for them.

We’re stoked to have menswear designer Bianca Saunders as our first guest editor, fresh from her LVMH prize nomination. Working with the theme of body language and nuances, Bianca, who challenges the traditional tropes of masculine identity and subverts visual codes in her own design, selected a series of artists, photographers and designers to focus on who all explore elements of this topic in their work. Karoline Vitto celebrates the curves and folds of each body, artist Jadé Fadojutimi discusses painting the indescribable, and Sinead O’Dwyer explores how to create a new standard in fashion. Plus Bianca talks to friend and collaborator Saul Nash about body language and gesture, with a visual story by photographer Jermaine Francis.

Also in this issue, Francesca Gavin interviews renowned South Korenan artist Haegue Yang, while new publishing house Hajar Press explores building radical change within the British literary establishment. Plus, writer and curator Anastasiia Fedorova celebrates queer joy through her work creating Russian Queer Revolution, and Gabriella Nkom looks at where sex and death collide in the work of Hervé Guibert.

Broccoli is the international magazine for cannabis lovers.

Created by women who love weed, Broccoli is a magazine presenting a new perspective on cannabis culture. Playful, informed, eclectic, and thoughtful, it encourages the discovery and intelligent appreciation of cannabis through explorations of art, culture, and fashion.

In Issue 11, photographer Paula Codoñer spins flowers into alternate realities, poet Jasmine Mans writes home, Sydney Gore investigates CBD sex potions, Zoe Sigman breaks down tolerance breaks, and Lio Min nature-trips with anime. Plus: Plant trading in Tunisia, postcards from Italy, two perspectives on barriers to accessing medical cannabis, a wander through Agnes Pelton’s desert mindscape, original weedy fairy tales from the enchanted Broccoli forest, and more.

Girlboss. Wonder woman. Perfect mother. Feminist go-getter. If you thought misogynist marketing ended with #MeToo, think again.

Brands profit by telling women who they are and how to be.

Now they've discovered feminism and are hell bent on selling 'fempowerment' back to us. But behind the go-girl slogans and the viral hash-tags has anything really changed?

In Brandsplaining, Jane Cunningham and Philippa Roberts expose the monumental gap that exists between the women that appear in the media around us and the women we really are. Their research reveals how our experiences, wants and needs - in all forms - are ignored and misrepresented by an industry that fails to understand us.

They propose a radical solution to resolve this once and for all: an innovative framework for marketing that is fresh, exciting, and - at last - sexism-free.

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.

The Future Issue

The inaugural print edition from SLOWE: from the women breaking ground in motorsport, discovering the world of women's sumo in Japan, to how professional athletes deal with having their period whilst competing, SLOWE is bringing the stories of women in sport to the printed page.

Feminism, Interrupted

Disrupting Power

Lola Olufemi

More than just a slogan on a t-shirt, feminism is a radical tool for fighting back against structural violence and injustice. Feminism, Interrupted is a bold call to seize feminism back from the cultural gatekeepers and return it to its radical roots.

Lola Olufemi explores state violence against women, the fight for reproductive justice, transmisogyny, gendered Islamophobia and solidarity with global struggles, showing that the fight for gendered liberation can change the world for everybody when we refuse to think of it solely as women's work. Including testimonials from Sisters Uncut, migrant groups working for reproductive justice, prison abolitionists and activists involved in the international fight for Kurdish and Palestinian rights, Olufemi emphasises the link between feminism and grassroots organising.

Reclaiming feminism from the clutches of the consumerist, neoliberal model, Feminism, Interrupted shows that when 'feminist' is more than a label, it holds the potential for radical transformative work.

The Author: Lola Olufemi is a black feminist writer and organiser from London. She facilitates workshops on feminism and histories of political organising in schools, universities and local communities. She is the co-author of A FLY Girl's Guide to University: Being a Woman of Colour at Cambridge and Other Institutions of Power and Elitism (Verve Poetry Press, 2019).
