Black Lives Matter

Visual documentation from Paris and LA

#LaVeritePourAdama, June 2nd, 2020.

Stemming from the merciless killings of Black men, Black women and Black trans people in the United States of America, citizens have mobilised across the globe in support of antiracism protests. We acknowledge that systemic racism rooted in slavery and colonialism exists throughout the institutional and governmental hierarchies of the developed and developing worlds. A Magazine Curated By supports the collective voice of the Black Lives Matter as it grows louder and louder – in the hope of effecting real change from a grassroots level through to the highest levels of power. The accompanying imagery illustrates the peaceful protests that have taken place throughout June 2020 in Paris, France by Alfredo Piola and Los Angeles, USA by Ian Markell.

As an engaged member of our creative community, we implore you to educate yourself and those around you against racism in all forms.
Please consider signing your name and donating funds to support some of the following causes:

Black Visions Collective
Emergency Release Fund
NAACP
Run With Maud
The Action PAC

Thank you.

A studio visit with Fidan Novruzova

Glance around Fidan Novruzova’s office and you find yourself deep inside a wunderkammer of references and signs from the universe. The handle of an Art Deco vanity has a strange coincidence with a piece of jewellery from a previous season, and the book on the shelf has a serendipitous backstory too. You can’t quite shake the feeling that a lot is happening or, more accurately, that something is about to happen. Things have a way of finding their way into the Moldovan-Azerbaijani designer’s universe, each one an invitation to experiment and see where it might lead.

A Studio Visit with Kenta Orimi

In a small office in the Tokyo neighbourhood Harajuku, Kenta Orimi welcomed me into the studio for his eponymous brand, Orimi. After high school he was drawn to the area, working in various stores and boutiques, and in 2018 he opened The Elephant, a select shop where you’ll find pieces from Stefan Cooke, Vaquera, ERL, Martine Rose, carefully selected vintage pieces, as well as Orimi, of course.
