When trying to define Liam Hodges we cannot just talk about patchworks, deconstructions and playing with different structures. He graduated from London’s Royal College of Arts in 2013, from his first collections he already showed maturity in his patterns that weren’t afraid of mixing influences from adolescent subcultures which already showed signs of a new masculinity that tried to express itself differently.

In an atelier in Casablanca, two young people met and fall in love with each other. This is the unexpected origin of a brand that from the very first moment has managed to create a world of completely new references that are based on the creator Charaf Tajer’s story and from a biculturalism that is understood from the inside.

Corpos quietos sem rosto que podem manter uma posição em concreto durante tanto tempo que parece que se movem e inclusive dançam quando são fotografados. Isto é o que Gerardo Vizmanos retrata através das suas vulneráveis e ao mesmo tempo poderosas imagens. À primeira vista, todos estes elementos parecem simples e até repetitivos quando pensas em todas as fotografias que tirou ao longo da sua carreira.

Quem diria que esse ex-advogado de direito internacional acabaria por ganhar a vida a explorar o conceito de identidade ao fotografar corpos alheios. Com ele, falamos sobre o seu trabalho e desta mudança inesperada na sua vida.

BESFXXK is the unpronounceable name behind which Jae Lim and Bona Kim hide themselves, a pair of creators that are helping place South Korean at the epicentre of aesthetic creations. Their experimental vision towards fashion adopts a surgical focus for the development of products that combine not only ideas but elements of garments with very diverse histories. A vision that reflects itself in its name, a play on “bespoke + fucked up”.

For those who are outraged by seeing people wear socks and sandals, what will they think about sneakers made of tennis balls? Or slippers equipped with a camera? Or maybe shoes that have a structure that consists of an egg holder, with, by the way, eggs on it? These things might sound absurd to you, but that’s what the objects that Nicole McLaughlin creates are all about: pieces that meet halfway between design, fashion and art, with a nod to sustainability that isn’t exempt of humour and with some well-intentioned criticism.

When football and rugby decided to follow different paths, these also created different aesthetic patterns. Originally, there used to be an activity from which football and rugby derived, halfway between a sport and a ceremony without any fixed rules that were agreed on before each match but in the mid 19th century there was already a need to unify them to avoid the discussions to be longer than the game itself.
