SHE'LL TAKE YOU TO THE FLOUR SHOP
She left fashion, opened Flour Shop, and the Wu-Tang Clan found her on Instagram. Brooklyn cake extraordinaire Amirah Kassem — Bon Appétit cover, 2017's most viral Instagram cake, Williams-Sonoma collab, and ice cream for breakfast in a Disney-themed kitchen — is still the most fun person in any room.
Anthony Collins
He started with skateboarding. Then at 18 he walked into a record shop and never fully left. French-American producer Anthony Collins — Panorama Bar marathons, DC10 Ibiza, Scissor & Thread, remixes for Villalobos — gives his views on labels, life, and why there is always a bright side. Always.
Noor Fares: The Visionary Jeweler Destined for Global Domination
In an era of fast fashion, Noor Fares reminds us that true luxury is slow, thoughtful, and steeped in soul. Her brand isn’t just one to watch—it’s the future of jewelry.
“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.”
Every project, image, and story is about framing a series of questions that are deeply important to me as a human being.- Shirin Neshat
