Martine SymsвЂ™s first full-length feature film exposes the narcissism of the still-so-white art world and the masturbatory nonsense of higher education. In an interview by Whitney Mallett, she shares her outlook on consumerism, superficiality, and celebrity spectacle. Swiss artist Sylvie Fleury has affirmed herself in the вЂ™80s at the center of a new wave of feminism, by appropriating shopping bags, makeup palettes, and candy-colored rockets resembling giant vibrators.

In conversation with Adam Wray, designer Matthew M. Portrayed through the lens of Tobias Spichtig, LoГЇck Gomez aka BFRND talks to Jordan Richman about the power of difference, and the sense of community that lies therein-from his soundtracks for the Balenciaga shows, a product of his creative and life partnership with Demna, to his forthcoming debut album. * Unfortunately, we are not able to guarantee a specific cover at time of order.
