NOTES
/ THE LETTER
What a decade this year has been! I am so ready for 2020 to be over and really hope that 2021 has something better in store for us.
NUDE magazine has been on an extended break because of you know, life. There have been more life-altering things in my life this year than I care to remember, and I just needed to gather my thoughts and pick up the pieces. We had hardly cleaned up the confetti from new years eve when I was admitted to the hospital with a blood clot in my lungs. A couple of months later, I lost my dad to cancer in the first round of the pandemic , which added even more stress to the situation. You weren’t even allowed to hug your extended family at the funeral, I am just grateful that we were able to have a funeral.
However, it has also been good in many ways, we really needed to slow down and take a breather, do some soulsearching, figure out what really makes us happy and bake some sourdogh bread!
In this issue, you will find an interview with the most amazing ceramic artist from Iceland, article about my eight-week body (and mind) transformation at Orangetheory and an editorial with stunning ARA made for the January Issue that because of the circumstances never got published. The fashion story is thankfully just as good in November. Slow Fashion and classic styles always win!
I hope you enjoy your reading, and if you do, I would be so grateful if you would share it with your friends so we can grow bigger and better.

“The idea behind Avail has always been to connect a community of fashion-forward individuals with undiscovered brands. We felt like, just because the current situation doesn’t allow us to travel across borders, it doesn’t stop us from actually being connected. It’s about accepting the current situation but making the best of it. So each of the duo’s shot themselves in their habitat with influencers who are in their bubble. They each represent a ‘new normal’ theme from Wellness Extravaganza to Karaoke night at home.”

ART CAROUSEL POP-UP
By Johanna Christensen
The DECADENT flagship store on Store Regnegade 3 Copenhagen, functions as an Art Carousel pop-up concept at the moment. At a time when cultural experiences are on new terms, the founder and creative director of Decadent, Karina Mundt Holst, wanted to pay tribute to art, crafts and design. Karina has a great interest in the artist behind the various works and the processes that create the individual works of art. To her, this is a great inspiration and driving force in connection with her design process.
That is why Decadent has over the last couple of months paid tribute to upcoming Danish artists, by inviting three unique creative souls into the Decadent flagship store, where their work could be experienced and purchased in the Art Carousel. Now it is Karina Mundt Holst turn to show her exhibition for the next two weeks where you can get a glimpse into her creative process. Please stop by the Art Carousel or follow it digitally on Decadent’s and the artists’ Instagram profiles.
The concept will function as an Art Carousel. The three artists will take turns to exhibit for two weeks in the flagship store - where each of their specially created works for this particular project can both be experienced and purchased in the Art Carousel.

- Michael Anastassiades
Michael Anastassiades is one of our all-time favourite light designers. He has designed modern classics like the Tube Chandelier, that we have been obsessing about for years, and now his Arrangements collection is heavy on our minds. The collection is inspired by the parallel that exists between lightning and jewellery. The collection is an innovative modular system of geometric pendants, that can be combined in different ways.
The various combinations of the elements create floating light sculptures, and each unit attaches onto the previous one, balancing perfectly as part of a glowing chain. Flos presented the Arrangements collection at the Milano Design Week in 2018, and it has already been nominated for various design awards around the world.
