OF LOVE XO

This month we fell in love with London based streetwear label, TZUJI’s A/W 2015 collection. Inspired by the scene created by the brand’s designer Larry Tee in the 90s and early noughties during his electrosmash parties and festivals in New York. Focusing really hard on the DIY aesthetic the clothes feature distressed patterns (tears/rips) and patches and screen printed images that look like they were made at a DIY show and were made to stand out from all the other club kids. Jumpsuits and Sweaters contain “angsty” phrases like ‘Today is a good day to leave me alone’ ‘ Happily never after’ and ‘I love you because we hate the same things’ keeping in line with the edgy youthful feel of the collection.

In the summer of 2011, MTV aired the pilot episode for Teen Wolf, one of their first completely scripted television programs.

Although the network boasted that the show was loosely based on the 1985 monster comedy flick of the same name, audiences were skeptical of how the story would translate to the 2010s. Five years later and fresh off of the announcement of a sixth season, Teen Wolf has flourished under the charismatic lead of star Tyler Posey and the enthusiasm of an avid fanbase. The show, currently on its fifth season, has been filled with romance, teenage partying, death, and werewolves just as all great teen dramas should. And following in the grand tradition of iconic teen programing, Teen Wolf has recently been adding some fresh blood to the cast as the older characters get ready to graduate from high school.

pack last season as Liam Dunbar, a freshman with a bit of an anger problem. Rage and lycanthropy don’t always mix well but with the help of his alpha, Liam is mastering his newfound powers and quickly becoming a fan favorite. Between being his best friends wingman, living in a constant state of peril due to some truly terrifying doctors and even regular high school crushes, this season finds Liam facing quite a few obstacles.

Sprayberry may be young, but after acting for the better part of a decade in projects such as Glee and Man of Steel, Teen Wolf serves as a great breaking out point for a long career ahead. XO Magazine was lucky enough to catch Dylan at a rare break in his busy summer schedule to chat about the show, fashion, music and… working at Burger King?

him?

An other great friendship on the show is between Liam and Khylin Rhambo’s Mason Hewitt.

I know we love seeing more of what’s been deemed Scott & Stiles 2.0, what’s it like building that relationship on the show?

Th at will always be a worry for Liam. Scott means so much to him. He doesn't want to let that go.

It 's amazing!! Rhambo and I have been close since before the show so all we are doing is using inspiration from Sc ott and Stiles in the first se ason and infusing our real life relationship to change it up ! And we have so much fun with our scenes it's insane.

Do you have a fa vorite scene th at you’ve filmed so far?

Maybe something that you fe lt challenged you?

At San Diego Comic Con you al l got the news that T​een Wo lf ​ is getting a seaso n 6, congratulations! What would be you r ideal storyline for Liam, no matter how out there?

Th en h e eventually just goes crazy and moves to Iowa.

"We have so much fun w ith ou r scenes it's insane."

De finitely all the comedy! I'm so used to being dark and serious! It was a bit of a challenge for me at first!

But obviously I love it, and it's so much fun.

Te en Wolf h​ as an extensive hi story of t errifying people an d creature s, what could th ey do on t he show that wo uld be nig htmare inducing for you?

If they had a half spider/half ma n I would definitely pass out.

On e of the biggest questions of the season is what the seniors are going to do after gr aduation, how is Liam de aling with the possibility that his alpha might be leaving

Fi nall y, what can yo u te ase for us ab out what you ar e mo st looking fo rwar d to fans se eing for the rest of season 5?

Lots of BLOOD!... And fu r... in the blood... Fur and bl ood mixed together... Yeah that about wraps it up!

Perhaps that was a good warning for the more squeamish viewers ou t th ere, though we’re sure that they’re no stranger to gore on a show about werewolves. As fo r Li am’s future, the powers that be will probably need some co nvin cing for the “human ag ain” storyline, but there’s always season seven! With only a few episodes left before the mi dsea son break, make sure to watch Dylan and the rest of the McCall Pack on Teen Wolf, every Monday night at 10/9c on MTV.

This issue actor Nathan Parsons caught our eye. Originally from Australia and currently based in Texas and LA, Parsons has been gracing our screens for quite some time. You might recognize him from his daytime emmy nominated performance as Ethan Lovett on General Hospital or you might recognize him as James Kent who heated things up during the final season of True Blood last year. This fall you can catch him returning to the CW’s hit show and fan favourite The Originals as the Alpha werewolf Jackson Kenner. He’ll also be starring alongside our last issue cover star Ksenia Solo in a new indie horror film Pet - which also stars Dominic Monaghan and Jeanette McCurdy. Keep up with all of Nathan’s adventures (which often include hiking, camping and rock climbing) and humour about the hellish temperatures in LA and Texas follow him on twitter at @nathan_parsons.
