Vogue Italia July/August

These have been strange months, almost in convalescence, where our post-pandemic lives seem poised between a state of shock for the past and uncertainty about the future. Legitimate concerns are also protracting towards an autumn that promises economic crises and social tensions. Meanwhile, a large slice of public opinion in many Western countries is finally trying to call time on hateful racial discrimination, and yet simultaneously, almost everywhere, it seems that walls are being strengthened and new forms of intolerance are emerging. Everyone bets that this year is destined to change the world once and for all, but nobody really knows how.
In these doubtful times, we think there is one word that, with its shameless innocence, deserves the attention of our readers more than any other.

Because, in a year that has been anything but happy for just about everyone, there are plenty of excellent reasons to talk about happiness. Is happiness still possible after everything we’ve been through? Are there any traits that make it a common and shared state of being? How does the idea of happiness change at different latitudes? Does its social dimension also entail redemption? And is there anything wrong or blameworthy about seeking it even in our small, everyday pleasures, in the things we possess, or in those we’d like to possess?

Dazed Autumn 2020 Issue: Read up Act Up issue

Now we know what the world looks like when it shuts down, what will the future be? Fronted by a series of text-led covers, this autumn issue replaces cover stars with conversation, celebrating the power of words to inspire, inform and reimagine the world anew. We invite six essential figures leading the fight for progressive change to guest-edit their own section. Bringing together a multitude of voices, their stories tackle the issues that matter most right now, from the ongoing fight for prison abolition to racial injustice and the future of creative protest.

Black Lives Matter International ambassador Janaya Future Khan guides us through the explosive growth of the movement and its future trajectory; Wide Awakes, an activist group with its roots in the 19th-century anti-slavery movement, reboot creative protest for 2020; rapper and abolitionist Noname invites incarcerated artists and thinkers to imagine a world without prisons; Grace Wales Bonner talks Black rhythmicality for the launch of her new digital project Between Critique and Hope; Shayne Oliver and friends unveil a radical manifesto for new residency and community hub Anonymous Club; and Samuel

Here and There 14
Nakako Hayashi

Now, with the benefit of smartphones, we can instantly connect with anyone we want and shop for things online anytime we wish. As it has become much easier to collect massive amounts of information in a blink of an eye, as well as to fulfill our desires, I believe now is the time to ask ourselves the question. “In what do we place our values?” We have consciously begun to make the effort to draw a map using our imagination, by connecting the present to the past, and to design our future beyond that map.

The title for this issue COLLAGE came to mind from an interview with Teppei Kaneuji which was part of a book of interviews I was putting together at the same time, called “Tsukuru Riyuu (The Reason to Create)”: A Series of Interviews by Nakako Hayashi. Stating that his media of expression as a collage, Kaneuji, in his attempt to redefine the concept of collage, says that “A collage is an act to personally resist the conventional time, value, history and sets of rules, and to resist a much larger force with an accumulation of smaller actions.”

L'Uomo – May 2020

Ever since its founding in 1967, it has earned a place as the most authoritative men’s fashion magazine in the world, a privileged partner for Italian designer brands, a scout of groundbreaking photographers, trendsetting dressers and fashion revolutions. After its 50th anniversary L’Uomo Vogue has been relaunched as a bilingual English-Italian quarterly with a new supersized format, a very modern design and four sections. L’Uomo has a ldigital presence within Vogue.it and its own social presence, and also organises a series of live events.

Version – Vol. 1

In the launch issue there are over 90 pages of fashion editorial, shooting with Marcus Schaefer, Umit Savaci, Raphael Bliss, Charlie Gates, and more. Jasmina Vico (beautician of choice for Jodie Comer and Issamaya French) showcases her futuristic beauty treatments in a fashion shoot with photographer Umit Savaci and make-up artist Jimmy Owen Jones.

Version magazine commissioned the first digital up-cycled fashion brand, where they provided Danish designer Anne Sofie Madsen with a virtual box of long-forgotten clothing renders from around the web, from Nike Air Max to golf bags. Madsen sketched designs, which were brought to life by Berlin-based design studio Selam X (who previously created Dazed Beauty’s algorithmic launch cover featuring Kylie Jenner).

Hettie Judah interviews artist Alison Lloyd who created new work exclusively for this issue. Zowie Broach writes an exclusive manifesto on behalf of her MA fashion students at The Royal College of Art.

Fucking Young! Spring/Summer 2020

Hollywood actor and amateur skateboarder, Jack Dylan Grazer fronts our Spring/Summer 2020 Olympic Issue shot by Kapturing in 2028 Olympic host city of Los Angeles. While 16-year-old Grazer empowers kids to go out and claim their own piece to skate on, the Olympics can also connect to fond childhood memories.  We also look at it for inspiration and a call for togetherness.

Participation in sports has been greatly limited and the future has been up in the air much like fashion, both have been great escapes, but now reality is kicking in. People are recycling more, gaining scruples, and ultimately opting for a healthier and more ethical lifestyle. The connection between streetwear and sports culture has been undeniable. Now we are given one more year as the 2020 Tokyo Olympics have been postponed by a full year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, can fashion and sports make the appropriate changes to ensure that health and the environment come first?

Olympic legends Michael Johnson and Li Ning shed some gold light on us along with interviews with designers Matthew Williams, Stéphane Ashpool, Andreas Schmidl, and Josef Lazo of Lazoschmidl and essay by Harris Reed.

Editorials from: Amar, Arne Grugel, Asaf Einy, David Ansah, Guillaume Plas, Kapturing, Sebastien Pielles, Simon, Tom Kneller, and Valentin Fabre.

System – Issue 15

System launches its biggest-ever issue on July 1st. Produced entirely in Covid-19 lockdown, over 50 days between April and May, the 500-page issue is a Warholian time capsule of a period that already feels strangely distant and frozen in memory.

Featuring 35 different covers – all photographed by Juergen Teller – presenting the many participants in a quarantine conversation series entitled ‘What do we talk about?’. The Zoom conversations see a broad range of fashion designers connecting with friends, colleagues, heroes and other designers to reflect on life in lockdown and their collective future in fashion.

Participants include Virgil Abloh, Kim Jones, Victoria Beckham, Telfar Clemens, Silvia Fendi, Rick Owens, Pierpaolo Piccioli, Jonathan Anderson, Bella Hadid, Charles Jeffrey, Tommy Hilfiger, Daniel Lee, Matthew Williams, Gwendoline Christie, Andreas Kronthaler, Lotta Volkova, and many more.

The issue also presents ‘What are we looking at?’, a 300-page document assembling 17 exclusive fashion portfolios, each one orchestrated by a leading industry art director, including the likes of Marc Ascoli, M/M (Paris), Fabien Baron, Ferdinando Verderi, Ezra Petronio, Dennis Freedman, David James, Veronica Ditting, Christopher Simmonds, Patrick Li, Franck Durand, Lee Swillingham, Ben Kelway, and more.

Wonderland Summer 2020 Issue

Covering Wonderland’s Summer 2020 issue is breakout actor Paul Mescal, who talks through his role as Connell in the screen adaptation of Salley Rooney’s Normal People, the pressures and privilege of taking on a well-loved character and the cultural impact of the show. Alongside Mescal, the issue includes features with actors Indya Moore and Maisie Williams, music artists SZA and Princess Nokia, and others making waves across the creative industries including Maya Hawke, Dove Cameron, Evan Mock and Rafferty Law. With many of the images created in self-isolation at home, this issue celebrates the creativity and imagination of each talent involved, spotlighting individuals who are sharing their experiences of the world and shaping a new one with their art.

Three young men grace the cover of issue 26, the first being Kelvin Harrison Jr., the up-and-coming actor from New Orleans with roles in 12 Years a Slave, It Comes At Night and Waves. Talking to Anna Smith, he discusses working with his idols, a tireless work ethic and the changing shape of masculinity.

Second, we have Belgian rapper Baloji, an artist in perpetual motion. His albums – including the sweeping, psychedelic 2018 LP 137 Avenue Kaniama – have established him as a star in France and Belgium, and gradually crossed over to English-speaking audiences. The musician of Congolese origin reflects on his career– past, present and future – with Aimee Cliff.

Our third split cover features actor Earl Cave – son of Nick Cave and The Vampire’s Wife designer Susie Bick – hot off the heels of playing Ned Kelly’s younger brother, and fellow gang member, in Justin Kurzel’s visceral drama True History of the Kelly Gang. He talks with Claire Marie Healy about coming out from the shadows of rock and fashion royalty to forge his own creative path.

Elsewhere, Shadow Justice Secretary and Labour MP David Lammy muses on empire, emerging tribes and our need for community, legendary Japanese musician Ryuichi Sakamoto shares his thoughts on his latest soundtrack for The Staggering Girl, William T. Vollmann examines San Francisco’s BDSM community and the ties that bind it, while Deyan Sudjic profiles the multifaceted designer Martino Gamper. Looking good has also taken us all around the world, with fashion stories coming from Cyprus, the Barbican, New York City and Brazil, to name a few. 

In our Commentary, we have two short stories from Booker Prize longlisted writer Sophie Mackintosh and Irish novelist Naoise Dolan, an essay on the support of creativity by translator Jen Calleja, the opening pages of the award-winning Winter in Sokcho (Hiver à Sokcho) by Elisa Shua Dusapin, as well as a mysterious photomontage from artist Katrien De Blauwer.

Finally, in the Porter, Caleb Landry Jones explores his new album, Tomos Parry shares the beauty of cooking fresh fish on an open fire, photographer Tobias Harvey visits the rugged Faroe Islands, Matthew Turner celebrates Richard Hollis’ design work for London’s Whitechapel Gallery and Jacob Charles Wilson meets writing mentor and protégé Colm Tóibín and Collin Barrett.
