Charlotte Collard In Her Kitchen
One of the first interviews ever published on this site was with Charlotte Collard — international model, always traveling, always exploring. It became one of the most-read pieces and stayed that way. Years later, she is a mother of three, based in Brussels, and has built something entirely her own at the intersection of food, fashion, and the feed. She calls it a self-portrait. Her heart said: cooking, giving, sharing. Her brain said: twenty years in fashion is not something you leave behind. She found a way to hold both.
PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN
Teens queue patiently at Galerie Perrotin to photograph a 1967 kinetic artwork. Julio Le Parc is 89. His work was made for exactly this moment, fifty years before the moment existed.
VIRGINIA VILLARI PRESENTS MUSIC ON THE GO
They've played in hundreds of cities across the globe for over a decade. Audiofly on the golden age of air travel being over, listening to Coltrane not techno on flights, and Tulum when it was just you, a stray dog and the pelicans.
DEEP IN THE HEART OF THE PERUVIAN AMAZON
She arrived burnt out, skeptical, and carrying back pain she hadn't been able to shake. Eight days later, deep in the Amazon with the Shipibo healers of Ani Nii Shobo, she left feeling the strongest she had in years. Leila Antakly on ayahuasca, Mama Ida, and why the plant always knows.
“Visibility has never been our measure of significance. We seek out artists and inspiring individuals whose work sparks curiosity, challenges assumptions, and leaves a lasting impression.”
