As we finally move into 2015’s warm summer days, a celebration of bright blue skies and fruity scents is in order, and we have for our eighteenth issue gathered a selection of features which exude buoyancy, charm and confidence.

From vibrant and witty illustrations by Alessandra Genualdo (p.20) and Barbara Dziadosz (p.96) through to refreshing editorial pieces by Dulce Daniel (p.30), Lisa Pao (p.50) and Sybilla Patrizia (p.204), the recurring themes and ideas present in the work of our twenty-one exceptional contributors are a true reflection of our explosive spirits. ∞ JC

I put a lot of effort into preparing a shoot, choosing the right topic and searching for inspiration. I pay a lot of attention to the quality of the lighting.

Whenever needed, some postproduction is done to put icing on the cake.

Between fashion, portrait and beauty photography, which do you have a bigger affinity to and why?

I get a lot of pleasure from photographing people in general, and it is virtually impossible to decide which type of photography I prefer!

Each has its own unique attributes.

Fashion can be so creative and clothes can be used to make a statement what we wear says a lot about our personality. Beauty, on the other hand, allows me to confront the term itself. What does it mean for something to be beautiful? →

“My work is very much centred on the female figure, and in an indirect way it is quite autobiographical.”

O p p o s i t e : ‘ To a n d F r o ’

The women I portray seem quite busy doing mundane actions: reading a book, taking a bath, looking outside a window – all introspective and contemplative activities. There is always a certain connection with nature, due to the presence of flowers, plants or animals in almost every picture I paint. The women in my illustrations are alone but not lonely; there is a sense of solitude showing through, but not of despair.

How does your cultural background influence your work?

I spent most of my childhood with my grandparents, playing in the little woods near their country home. That is where I started to feel a strong connection with nature and animals.

We often visited their friends Elvira and Giulia in their beautiful house. →

Irina Dzhus

Irina Dzhus, the 26-year-old designer behind the eponymous Ukrainian label DZHUS, presents a fantastically modern Autumn/Winter 2015 collection. She speaks of the challenges behind it, and opens up on her greatest desire – creating wearable fashion that interacts with and embodies its wearer.

How did you discover an interest in fashion design?

I’ve been keen on arts and fashion since my early years. At the age of five, I decided I wanted to be a designer. I spent hours exploring magazines and making my first sketches and soon went to a children’s art school to gain drawing and painting skills. I was so far into this artistic lifestyle that there was no way back to being a normal being any more. →

I meditate or read on the train, and that menial task allows me to (try) to forget about my financial situation or other life problems and focus on creating something of worth. By the time I get to the studio I am a changed person, and if I am in a positive frame of mind, the work just flows like clockwork.

With her editorial story ‘Boy from the Forest’, in which strong contrasts are fused with a predominantly monochromatic palette, photographer Tanya Gaidarzhy conveys the heat of the summer with passion and ease.

A detailed, layered and beautifully textured series set against a natural backdrop, this story is as irresistible as it is wildly fashion-forward. Styled

RAW EMOTION

Photographer Daria Szczygiel tells formidable tales bound by nostalgic hues and raw, intense emotion. At only 21 years old, the photography student has much to her name, as she crafts memorable stories formed from her three key beliefs: simplicity, a smart use of settings and the value of good lighting. Here, she shares moments of sadness, sensitivity and loss inspired by her everyday life. ∞ AC
