As recession looms over the creative landscape, casting an increasingly dark shadow on the fashion industry, I couldn't help but wonder (pardon the Carrie reference): what paths remain for aspiring creatives in fashion?

For our latest digital cover, we sat down with Berlin-born actress Tijan Marei. In our conversation, Marei reflects on the evolving landscape of the film industry—where wellness is replacing outdated notions of “cool”, women are claiming their space in more complex roles, and setting boundaries is an essential part of the job.

The music business has always been tough, and that will never change. Even though it's often hard, it's a privilege to make art. We should value art so much more. Culture is an extremely important product of our society, and the thing that fascinates me the most. What do you leave behind? What are the memories that define us and our time? Art.
„In a world ordered by sexual imbalance, pleasure in looking has been split between active/male and passive/female. The determining male gaze projects its fantasy onto the female figure, which is styled accordingly. In their traditional exhibitionist role women are simultaneously looked at and displayed, with their appearance coded for strong visual and erotic impact so that they can be said to connote to-be-looked-at-ness…“
Berlin showroom Adddress has been around since 2003, but something new is coming up: a concept store for fashion, vinyls, a live DJ, and an in-house espresso brand—André Galluzzi tells us more about it.
Björk is everywhere, at all times—and we don't get tired of it. Be it on a VOGUE cover, at Rick Owen's catwalk or in an exhibition—Björk's appearances are memorable.
This neo-spiritual trend on social media promises success in all aspects of life: gaining control over your life, becoming your best self, and—most importantly—finding success in love.
