NEVERLAZY MAGAZINE

Editor’s Letter

Hold on to your hats, because NeverLazy Magazine’s nineteenth issue has been jam-packed with international talent that will set your heads spinning. From Norway to Hanover, Paris to Poland, and Buenos Aires all the way to the land down under, this issue came together through the efforts of artists from every corner of the world – and the obvious result of that is a blazing, eclectic mix of exclusive fashion editorials and creative portfolios that we’re incredibly excited to present.

As summer once again transitions into autumn, we’re bringing you another bite of the art and fashion worlds that we hope you’ll enjoy. ∞ AC

NEVERLAZY MAGAZINE

HAIR & MAKEUP CHRISTINE MELLEM

Far more than a mere showcase of fashion and skill, Riverside is a thing of pure, natural beauty: it introduces a certain fragility and tenderness against a magnificent Norwegian setting, forming a heavy contrast that inspires as much as it relaxes the mind. Garments and a windy, textured backdrop come together in one expertly-crafted, sensory meeting of fashion and art. Designs by Silje Opaas, with styling by photographer Oda Bakkeli Eide and hair and makeup by Christine Mellem. ∞ AC

MARIJKE BURRLAGE

Dutch illustrator Marijke Buurlage infuses her work with charm, colour and youthfulness, giving them a playful and uplifting appearance that nobody will know to resist. At 26, the artist feels changed by her profession, and speaks to us of the importance of individuality in the creative world.

How has being an illustrator changed you?

Since going to art school, I look at the world differently. Whenever I see beautiful shapes in nature or interesting colour combinations in the city, I get inspired immediately. I often take pictures of these shapes and colours and use them in illustrations later on. I now pay much more attention to the details around me;

ADITYA PRATAMA

Through bright colours and a sweet style, Indonesian illustrator Aditya Pratama elevates the everyday into the realms of the curious and quirky.

His charming depictions are riddled with surrealist themes, bringing his gloriously imaginative mind to the forefront each time. The artist speaks to us of his dreams, and presents a collection of drawings to lose ourselves in.

What does your aesthetic say about yourself ?

Mainly, my aesthetic style is surreal with a touch of fluidity and dreamlike scenarios. I think this style was formed by my obsession with dreams and imagination. My head is always full of imaginative worlds which are both hypnagogic and a little bit witty.

For me, that kind of world is a

SIX & FIVE STUDIO

Brought to life by a forward-thinking Buenos Aires duo, art directors and graphic designers Andy Reisinger and Ezequiel Pini, the Six & Five studio creates visual poetry that stuns, surprises and inspires. Bridging the gap between design and art, the studio shines through bold, colourful and particularly artistic projects, in which a flurry of mouthwatering shapes and textures never fail to draw attention.
