"It was a David and Goliath moment"
When world renowned photographer
Stuart Franklin was standing on a crowded balcony five stories up from
Beijing's Tiananmen Square, pointing his camera at a man standing
defiant in front of a row of Chinese tanks, he thought he was too far
away from the action.
But 25 years after that iconic day on 5 June 1989, the picture has become the ultimate symbol of the power of an individual against the might of the state.

Natasha Khan: Under the Indigo Moon
The Bat For Lashes Songstress Heads For the Hollywood Hills in a Self-Directed Short
“I wanted to explore a trashy, playful, US motel aesthetic, like Patricia Arquette in True Romance,”
says London-born Natasha Khan, better known as Mercury nominated
singer-songwriter Bat For Lashes, of shooting YMC-styled fashion film Under the Indigo Moon
in LA. The sepia-coated, sun-kissed road trip was shot on 16mm and sees
the baroque-pop chanteuse driving along the snaking Sunset Boulevard
with her LA-based buddy, former Devendra Banhart drummer Gregory Rogove.
Khan was raised on a diet of Kate Bush and Tori Amos, whose soft-focus
influence courses through the short’s soundtrack that was created over
an afternoon in a Cali studio with Beck. “I have loved Beck for years,”
she says. “We started working together about three years ago; I stayed
with him for three weeks, and we jammed out and generated a lot of
material. He’s got loads of weird dulcimers, amazing drum machines and
really obscure instruments that make wonderful sounds.” The clip was
produced by Lana Del Rey collaborator Neil Krug and heralds Khan’s foray into filmmaking, a hobby she plans to turn into a long-term pursuit.
Would you ever consider making a full-length film?
Natasha Khan: I’m writing a screenplay for a short for FilmFour. It’s a really dark, gritty, family based drama, with hints of magic realism. We’re going into pre-production soon with a view to make it into a feature-length film in the next couple of years. I’ve got some things up my sleeve with my producer Dan Carey, so I want it to be a music and visual collaboration. I’m going to illustration classes at the moment, and I’ve got a huge desire to tell stories through film and paintings rather than just music, so Bat For Lashes is on hold for the meanwhile.
Are there any lynchpin directors you can pinpoint as influential?
NK: Funnily enough, David Lynch was a lynchpin! In my early 20s, I was obsessed with Eraserhead, Wild At Heart, The Elephant Man, Twin Peaks and Blue Velvet. I used to go to midnight screenings in Brighton, seeing films by Roman Polanski, Gregg Araki, Ingmar Bergman, Lars Von Trier... I could go on forever.
In terms of music, who are the artists that you look up to?
NK: I’ve always loved how artists like Patti Smith and PJ Harvey explore popular portrayals of the female form. When I was a teenager, I saw a picture of PJ in a big, padded bra that she wasn’t filling out, I know that she was trying to present something outside of the norm: a nakedness not meant for the male gaze.

Extra Butter x Saucony "Moon Walker" Shadow 6000 video
When we came across the connection between
Saucony's origin and the early development of the NASA Space Program, we
not only wanted to highlight that special piece of history, but the
idea. The first American Spacewalk is a feat in itself, but it was part
of a much larger field of progression; to innovate, explore, and expand
man's reach.
The ACES preparation and hard work sent humans into the unknown
territory of space. The Space Snack, in typical EB wit, gave a
lighthearted, nostalgic, gesture to sustenance needed to continue in
flight. But all good- no, great journeys empirically begin with a
common value. A purpose. A goal. A destination.No greater cause could have compelled mankind to consider space exploration during the 1950's more than the desire to ascend from Earth, into the unknown, and to the Moon. Though extensive research had already confirmed it was a desolate and compromising environment, the mere thought of setting foot on its surface gave way to endless possibilities. And so, as a grand homage to the first generation of astronauts and one of the greatest milestones in human history, Extra Butter and Saucony presents the "Moonwalker" Shadow 6000.
We start with a sport micro-mesh base, as fitted on all classic Saucony runner during the same era. The overlay dons a light grey 210 Denier, durable nylon oxford, reminiscent of NASA's original silvery space suits. A topographic lunar landscape pattern graces the mudguard and heel wrap of the silhouette, while the midsole dons a starry black and white speckle. The sheen reflective properties of the tongue label and heel tab evoke the mirror-like visors astronauts sport to protect themselves from the harsh UV rays of the sun. The overall subtle grayscale palette is given accent with a reflective Saucony river logo panel and an optional set of reflective laces. And finally, a translucent ice sole provides a see-through into more of the lunar pattern, reminding us wherever we go, our potential is far greater.

Dikkat! Okulda Trans Var / Attention! Trans At School
"School was a rather terrifying place, I had problems with wearing that skirt, I would wait for that ceremony to end so that I could leave home as soon as possible while my mom helped me dress up for the school. I was such a dreamer, I would dream of wearing other stuff and no skirts."
The documentary reveals what six trans men had to go through during the school years in a country in which heterosexuality is blessed and being an LGBT individual is perceived as an "illness" by the majority. They find it hard to cope with not being able to be like themselves and instead act as if they were someone else in the schools they went to. School ceases to be a place they go to with cheer and joy and turns into a place that they drag their feet to.

Who are you: Keanu or Patrick Swayze?
Andrew Blackman: Good question. Swayze on the beach, Keanu in the water (RIP Bodhi!).
Is surfing a way to get the girls or spiritual enlightenment?
AB: For some people, me included, surfing is really addictive. Maybe this is what the kid in Point Break means when he tells Utah, “Surfing is the source man, swear to God it will change your life.”
What’s a ‘kook’?
AB: I’ve heard a kook being described as someone who does not respect the surf-spot and/or others in the water. Someone who is unprepared to surf a certain wave and does not adhere to surfing etiquette.

In the midst of an urgent and alienating reform are New York City’s renowned subway car performers; arrests have trebled in a New York minute with panhandlers, the category including said dancers, currently holding 256 convictions since mid-March. As part of an ongoing series I spent two days befriending and documenting these performers, experiencing first-hand the perspective of both performer and audience - unexpectedly witnessing the remarkable cultural resonance these individuals have in the New York public sphere. Effortlessly showcasing their strength and ability these dancers have perfected the techniques necessary for the subway environment, It seems finding these boys an annoyance however is just cause for the penalty of reckless endangerment. An implicit bias is apparent; as although authorities can seemingly quantify a large sum of complaints, they have no testimonies from those members of the public who have had their quality of life improved by these dynamic harbingers of ‘showtime!’. In a tale of two cities it seems performers are met with the paradox of being both avid contributors to the arts and culture and also criminals forcefully disrupting the comfort of subway passengers.

Re-vive by rENs and Desso
In a new artistic collaboration in 2014, the Dutch design team, Renee Mennen and Stefanie van Keijsteren of rENs and Desso, the global carpets, carpet tiles and sport pitches company launched a new rug collection known as re-vive.
rENs uses the power of creativity to give products a new life. Rather than see the products come to an end and possibly finish up as waste, rENs uses a dying process based on the colour RED to create unique new products. In the new collaboration with Desso, they will be merging the colour red with the yarns of some of Desso’s out-of-date carpet collections. The hand crafted process means that each time, the designers are interpreting the mix of dye and yarn and creating an individual work of art - testament to the idea of giving customers exciting new concepts and designs from existing materials.
This links directly to Desso’s corporate vision to create a new business model for the circular economy where goods are made to be made again. Using healthy materials, the concept calls for smart design to recycle, reuse and remanufacture, leading to a more sustainable economic model. Both Desso and rENs share the commitment to fashion a new, sustainable model for business and manufacturing and a society where imagination is used to find better ways to make things.
Renee Mennen and Stefanie van Keijsteren have worked on a number of projects recently developing a new concept for using red dye to refashion existing products based on the idea that the colour red sends a signal about the problem of waste. Now, building on their past work, rENs is taking the idea a step further transforming out-of-date carpets from Desso’s collection into new, vibrant products by re-colouring them with red dye and providing unique shades and effects for each individual rug.
Through this collaboration with rENs, Desso is able to support young designers and together make a powerful statement to the world of fashion and beyond.
