EDITOR’S LETTER
LET’S DANCE OFF THE BEAT
EMMI FREEMAN • Trading the honeyed glow of her Oregon roots for the electric pulse of New York nights, Emmi Freeman is loyal at heart, wild in wonder, and has an unshakable instinct to dance whenever Fleetwood Mac’s Gypsy begins to play.
CLUB CLASSICS • Partywear is no longer an afterthought, and as nightlife reclaims its place in culture, so too have the hallmarks of dressing for a night out.
AFTER PARTY
RESURFACING • For the newest chapter of its Blue Book High Jewellery collection, Tiffany & Co. finds its muses in the deep.
IN A MATTER OF TIME
AN AGE OF IRREVERENCE • What began as a modest Roman leather atelier, Fendi has evolved into one of fashion’s most powerful Houses, renowned for its craft and fearless pursuit of innovation.
DOWN BY THE GARDEN • At Dumfries House in the heart of Scotland, Van Cleef & Arpels sows new seeds in its jewellery garden with the Flowerlace collection.
THE POETRY IN EMOTION • If legends are made through the stories they hold and perpetuate, is it any wonder why CHANEL’s iconic bags remain coveted and notorious? For the first time, the House has opened the doors to Verneuil, lifting the veil on the creation of its classic bags. Jess Blanch takes us behind the scenes and into the allusion.
DISCRETION ADVISED • Some creations are measured not in hours or minutes, but in the mastery of the unseen.
FROM US TO YOU
MATTERS OF TIME AND TASTE • Baker Valentine Fodor invites us into her world of culinary muses, and half-formed dreams. It’s beauty that moves with her throughout the day: slow brunch, a harbour swim, meetings, dinners, dance floors and all the transitional moments in between.
THE SUPREMACY OF SOUND • Ahead of the ten-year anniversary of her cult party project MAXILLA, multidisciplinary artist Lotte Andersen reflects on the making of her work Dance Therapy and the effervescence of club culture.
WHEN YOUNG PEOPLE MANIFEST AT NIGHT • Ewen Spencer’s career began taking photographs of countercultures around the United Kingdom somewhere between the silky ink of night and the fraying edges of dawn. The energy he distills in an image is entirely intangible, yet resonates on a molecular level: a sound, that light, an embrace, a body moving through space. Looking back on the Skins shoot of 2006 that kickstarted his widespread acclaim, Spencer talks fashion, music and the potency of image making.
THROUGH THE BLUR • Blur drummer Dave Rowntree turns the lens on his band’s chaotic early years in No One You Know, a new unfiltered photo memoir that reveals the heart, hustle, and humanity behind the Britpop icons.
