To capture Loewe’s second collaboration with the legendary bohemian concept store Paula’s Ibiza, up-and-coming photographer Gray Sorrenti (yep, her dad’s Mario) grabbed her friends and ran riot in the streets of New Orleans. In an exclusive interview, the free-spirited 18-year-old tells Imran Jalal how she decoded the collection’s updated hippie vibe, and talks about her art, and being young, wild and free.
Why New Orleans for a collection inspired by island life?
“New Orleans (aka Nola) is like an island, but instead of being surrounded by the sea, its voodoo comes from the waters of the Mississippi River. I’m very drawn to its history and culture. The people of New Orleans are magical. It’s a special place for me. Don’t get me wrong: I love the beach and Ibiza sounded heavenly, but I wanted to be on the streets of New Orleans. It’s as hedonistic and raw as you can get, which I thought would be a perfect place to shoot the collection. My mother grew up in Nola, so I have a connection with the city. I’ve been going there my entire life, and I love its spirit.”

A Not So Common Scent
For the first time, the singular house of Hermes has launched a chypre perfume fragrance type known for its complexity and dualistic nature a that comes in a first-of-its-kind bottle, no less. Keng Yang Shuen finds out more about Barenia, Hermes's latest scent that hit stores recently, from the brand's in-house perfumer Christine Nagel.

The six names in this story create wildly different works that tend to blur the boundaries among disparate disciplines. All have little in common except one thing: a certain wondrousness and sense of curiosity that inspire audiences to look at familiar things anew. Keng Yang Shuen reports.
The artist
Johnny Depp is certainly far from the conventional leading man: the iconically quirky on-screen roles, the rock musician persona (he was a guitarist before becoming an actor), the unexpected neoexpressionist portraits in 2022 (these paintings of cultural heroes ranging from AI Pacino to Elizabeth Taylor sold out in a day), and of course the title of being Dior's long-standing poster boy for its wilderness-inspired flagship men's perfume Sauvage for nine years and counting.

Collaborations with the art world have become a trusted way of injecting novelty into fashion.
Showtime
Shaggy, floor-sweeping, candy-coloured faux fur coats. A tuxedo suit with exaggerated proportions that's a nod to Marlene Dietrich. Bondage-inspired evening gowns. One would think that a collaboration fronted by a contemporary label would mean tempering down on the drama, but the Bimba Y Palomo collection, a tie-up between the fun-loving Bimba Y Lola and the red-carpet provocateur Palomo Spain, more than doubles down on it. Here, the latter's creative director Alejandro Gomez Palomo gives an exclusive interview on keeping the dream of dressing up alive.
