The rumours are true, you see a lot of unusual things on Berlin’s streets, like urban cow-riding, e-scooter tetris or flamboyant outfit checks. But when it comes to Javier de la Blanca and his way of dressing up, it’s more than just a fashion statement. It’s political and often questions the definition of what masculinity means today. “There is this rebellion inside me that doesn’t allow ..read more

One thing about RuPaul’s Drag Race is that there will be discourse. With such a massively popular show, it’s a bit inevitable that almost every action (or inaction) by RuPaul and the show’s producers cause conversation. Last week, Marcia Marcia Marcia complained about the show no longer requiring queens to sing for the Rusical (amongst other grievances.) The fandom rose up and cried foul pretty much unanimously when the show was shortened to hour-long episodes and the series later uploaded them at their full length.
Well, there’s a chance season 16 is also an answer to a long running co ..read more

But even the 2008 financial crash couldn’t stop London Fashion Week and so, this February, LFW reared its subversive, stylish head once more.
And, okay, we were kind of gagged! From Dilara Findikoglu’s ode to the divine feminine to Tolu Coker’s joyful, stree ..read more

WORDS BY ALICE MOREY
HEADER DESIGN BY YOSEF PHELAN
2023 was the year that saw Barbiecore paint the URL and IRL worlds Pepto-Bismol pink, Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour make diamanté catsuits so ubiquitous they became coffee run-appropriate casualwear and Miu Miu convinced us, en masse, to forgo our trousers. And, despite the creeping influence of indie sleaze, Y2K fits continued to reign supreme, with fans in Ice Spice and Troye Sivan (in drag, that is).
