Summer 2021, and a measure of positivity – yay. here in the middle east, we step outside less cautiously. The stashes of sanitizing hand sprays we drudged around town, hosing down door handles and dinner tables like ghostbusters with proton packs, still number in the hundreds, but they’re at home, not in our handbags. Big gorgeous cities like london, paris, and new york look set to boom, and people are planning their long awaited holidays to mykonos, puglia, and saint tropez.

Talking with Kevin Abstract, Shawn Mendes covers our Summer 21 issue.

“I still struggle with trying to fit into the shoes of who I believe ‘Shawn Mendes’ should be…at some point along the line, my expectations and my standard of who I should be, the music I should make, and the way I should look, became so high that no matter what I did and no matter how hard I was trying with my music, I couldn’t fit those shoes. If I even struggle to [live up to] what I think I should be, I definitely don’t want to make it harder for the 14-year-old kid in Canada to be who they are.”

At 14-years-old, he taught himself how to play the guitar at home in his native Toronto. By 15, he was on social media app Vine, amassing over half a billion views before its subsequent close quickly chucked him headfirst into the spotlight – blissfully ambitious and unprepared for what fame could throw at him. But unlike other pop stars with a following as big as him, each time he delves into his past, the narrative isn’t the same polished, pre-packaged tale churned out and chewed over by the mouths of many. Mendes undoubtedly radiates in his ability to be honest, repeatedly delving deeper and deeper into the crippling anxieties and struggles he’s faced as one of the biggest pop stars of our generation. Perhaps because underneath it all, Mendes is still just a small-town boy from Canada who willingly gave over his heart to music.

Ahead of eagerly awaited new music and a rumoured global tour, Mendes covers our summer issue delving into everything from crippling self-pressures to unrealistic expectations. In a refreshingly frank and sincere conversation, Mendes opens up to Kevin Abstract on everything from comparison culture to the power of therapy, and how he struggles to live up to the idealistic projection of his own image.

About

Launched by Nick Logan in London in 1980, The Face is the original, definitive style magazine.

From the beginning it was a cultural trailblazer, covering music, fashion, film, TV, society, politics and global current affairs. And it covered them with invention, innovation, wit and class – and not to mention with groundbreaking graphic design. 

The gallery of cover stars is as eclectic as it is iconic: from Kate Moss to Alexander McQueen, New Order to The Stone Roses, Grace Jones to David Beckham, Beyoncé to Björk. The talent behind the stories was legendary, too, as the magazine worked with the best writers, photographers, stylists and designers in the world. The Face didn’t only report on the culture. It became the culture. For over 25 years, The Face was at the heart of British and international creativity.

Now, in 2019, The Face is reborn. A new team with a new vision for a new age, but proudly retaining the magazine’s founding vision and core principals. A forward-thinking, multi-platform title staying true to Logan’s pioneering spirit.

The Face will continue to champion fresh talent in music, fashion, TV, film and beyond; fly the flag for provocative, rigorous, long-form journalism; and celebrate the best in style and graphic design. It is a space for immersive, dynamic, multi-faceted stories. It is a space for fun, passion and enthusiasm.

Relaunched and reimagined as the​face​.com in April. Resurrected as a quarterly print magazine starting with the September issue.

The Face is back. Still original, still definitive. Endless discovery for a new generation.

We are constantly evolving. This evolution happens at both a cellular level and through cosmic changes over millions of years. Those who hate change and find comfort with the status quo are only comfortable with the world that they can see within their horizon. But to those who welcome the cold embrace of the unknown new world as it changes beneath our feet, we nestle within our cocoon, awaiting our great transformation.

Freedom is coming, but where are we going? As we emerge from lockdown stasis and join hands again, the summer issue of Dazed celebrates the power of the collective spirit to change everything. A new globe, a new Dazed: Steered by newly instated editor-in-chief Ibrahim Kamara and executive editorial director Lynette Nylander, the issue marks a fresh era for the magazine, putting a local lens on vital new voices from around the planet.

On the first of our covers, we go behind the headlines with England football star and political firebrand Marcus Rashford, who pens a heartfelt ode to the power of community action. Also fronting the issue: a series of snapshots from a planet in the throes of generational change, from the End Sars activists ushering in a new era in Nigerian protest to the biggest vaccine drive in history.

This year, HUNGER turns 10 and we’re ready to celebrate in style. For Spring/Summer 2021, we’re excited to announce the theme of HUNGER’s 20th issue: community. Documenting the power of people coming together – whether that’s in the name of a common cause, mutual aid and support, or a shared culture – the issue takes us from local communities in Liverpool to the stars advocating for the rights of global communities on the international stage. 

To coincide with the issue pre-order date, we’re also announcing our first cover star: Pose actress MJ Rodriguez, who discusses the importance of trans representation, how ballroom culture shaped her and the biggest “full-circle moment” of her career to date.

Our second cover star, Jodie Turner-Smith, opens about her new role playing Henry VIII’s most famous wife, Anne Boleyn, the impact of Queen & Slim on her career and her first year of motherhood. 

Actress Jodie Comer appears in conversation with long-time friend and co-star Stephen Graham to discuss their freshly wrapped project Help, imposter syndrome and making the leap from the small screen to the Hollywood silver screen.

Kingsley Ben-Adir discusses his BAFTA-nominated role in history-making film One Night In Miami, working with Regina King, and his upcoming turn in the Marvel universe.
Designer Zandra Rhodes talks with close friend Hilary Alexander about her decades-spanning career in fashion and her unique creative process.

Frequent readers of zweikommasieben will know that the creative processes we highlight in our magazine are an eclectic gathering of influences that result in varied creative practices. This plurality informs a question we have repeatedly asked ourselves: what might be the common denominator connecting all the dots? For this issue, we would like to make the case for the discursive potential of personal experiences.

Once the personal is taken seriously, anecdotes provide major insights into an artist’s practice. A portrait on producer Malibu taps into memories of popular culture and traces musical experiences from her childhood to highlight the dedication she brings towards composing melodies and using samples. In their essay, the duo Space Afrika assembles recollections of their daily lives in north-west England to frame their artistic output over the years.

Highlighting subjective perspectives allows for the differentiation of what might appear similar at first. Both the collaboration of Andreas Bülhoff and Marc Matter featured in “Soundtexte” and the interview with Tygapaw refer to the use of poetry. The former condense language to its most basic units and present them as rhythmic building blocks for DJs. Taking a different approach, Tygapaw asked a poet to be the narrator of their album, expanding the tracks by embedding an additional layer of meaning.

zweikommasieben #23 also wishes to make visible the full range of its contributors. Annotations in the margins gesture towards the intuitive processes characteristic of this magazine: from an initial interest in an artist and their work, to the experience of exploring it in the context of a conversation, and to collaboratively reflect on text and photography with various people.

Full content:
-interviews with Bass Clef, Crystallmess, Flora Yin-Wong, Grand River, Ikonika, Jabu & Daniela Dyson, Meemo Comma, and Tygapaw
-portrait on Malibu
-essay by Space Afrika
-Contributes by Jessika Khazrik and Sara Berts
-columns: Soundtexte (poetry), “Art Review” (art review), and We are Time (photography)
