EDITOR’S LETTER

CONTRIBUTORS

JOSEPHEN AKUEI • Josephen Akuei knows what she likes. Mixed metals, sweet treats, romantic novels and an album made for heartbreak. Her style is suave; her instincts decisive; her penchant for conversation apparently endless. An Aquarius splitting her time between Paris and New York, she’s fiercely independent but most in tune when poised by the sea. For now, happiness and adventure are the plan; the details, she’ll decide as she goes.

I EAT, THEREFORE I AM • Fashion once borrowed from food; now it’s inviting us to dinner.

THEVXLLEY

BUON GUSTO

The Worlds We Make For Ourselves • Sarah Bahbah’s world-building has always been a means of survival. Now, she’s learning what it means to create from a place of freedom.

LIKE SUGAR ON MY TONGUE • Audrey Allard, founder of Holy Sugar, turns sugar into storytelling, translating fashion, objects and ideas into fleeting works of edible art.

THE PAST IS NOW PART OF MY FUTURE • More than four decades after helping redefine modern music with Joy Division and New Order, bassist Peter Hook remains as committed to disruption as he is to preservation.

Six Seconds to Heal the Heart • In conversation with Cat Power.

EYE OF THE BEHOLDER

SOMETHING IN THE AIR • Nicole Eckels has spent 20 years bottling the invisible: memory, desire, nostalgia and the strange ability of a scent to take us somewhere else entirely.

FIRST AND FINAL

ALL I HAVE TO DO IS DREAM • Lux Pascal has spent her life moving between places, characters and imagined worlds, carrying home with her in the objects she wears, the films she returns to, and the people she loves. Dreaming, it seems, has always been her way of finding where she belongs.
