“The Other Side” becomes the theme for our first fashion spread for Fall/Winter 2023, featuring looks from Burberry, Coach, Dior, Ferragamo, Gucci, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Valentino, and Zegna.
Fashion has multiple sides – the bodiless, the abstract, the hauteur, the anti-culture. The line is fluid and in search of common grounds, we find ourselves stuck in knee-deep conversations on its true intent. In between quiet luxury and avant-garde, fashion allures with its poetry and tactility as we make aesthetic decisions through our lenses. Enter “The Other Side”.

Martin has a soft spot for art and architecture, fashion and food history.

His day is never complete without time at the gym and three cups of coffee — flat white with oat milk, no less.
