The cinematics and acoustics of Kabeaushé’s takeover

From his clear-skied wont of speaking, you could think Kabochi Gitau (known simply as Kabeaushé) was directly spawned from one of Nairobi’s eternal sunrays. He picked up our Zoom call from his old apartment, all jovial and courteous towards the city that raised him (which, at the time of our conversation, was his favourite place – but only until changing locations again). That’s how Kabeaushe’s sensibility for life usually goes – he embodies mindfulness almost in a monkish way, effusing deep admiration for the present tense through all of his creative outlets.

Into the Multisex multiverse

Projects developed in art school often remain at a level of mere imagination, grand and contained in their realm of possibility. That’s how Multisex was initially bred – a scholarly, design-focused project conceived by a bunch of students. With a bit of will and a shared devotion to communion, house music, and sensuality, it exceeded what many would have left in a state of hypothesis. Meet Marilena Büld, Vicky Abiola, Steph Quinci and Dario Jérôme Dammé, some of the sparkling minds behind one of Berlin’s most prolific curatorial expanses.

“Queer desire is always political” - Slava Mogutin’s romantic ideal

“We're reclaiming the right to softness, to intimacy, to love that doesn't require justification or performance. Queer romanticism is no longer a contradiction — it's a form of resistance.”

Is Balenciaga coming full circle?

Inheriting the legacy of a brand like Balenciaga is like climbing a mountain in pursuit of a new peak; definitely not for the faint hearted – or at least not for the humdrum. This upcoming season, we place our full attention (and bets) on the eponymous brand’s new heir. Pierpaolo Piccioli, a master of design and Haute Couture, was appointed creative director of the Parisian House – an intrepid development in the dynasty after Demna’s long-lasting, fruitful ruling.
