MAXWELL WILLIAMS Writer For this issue, I drank a margarita while interviewing Cody Fern in a hotel lobby. He drank tea. Journalists don’t mind drinking alone. EVE BARLOW Writer I met Evan Peters at the classic Hollywood haunt Little Dom’s for an afternoon coffee and a deep and meaningful… DEXTER LANDER Photographer Me and Charles Jeffrey created a Buster Keaton-inspired romantic romp through a snowy Paris. A menage á trois of love, rivalry and all out buffoonery! SHARIF HAMZA Photographer I shot a story with fashion director Elgar Johnson, with a diverse cast of British faces that make me feel nostalgic towards my teenage upbringing in London. Each one of these boys looks like a mate of mine from secondary school. CEDRIC BUCHET Photographer We shot Cody Fern on the streets of LA under the rain… It was amazing working with Cody, he’s so…

EDITOR’S LETTER

Back then, I didn’t know what a fashion editor was, let alone that I could be one. But my two-mile walk to school every morning led me to the newsagent, where I bought my first Vogue magazine. (August 1991, Linda Evangelista in gold Michael Kors. Major.) Soon after I realised that my dream of editing a magazine was something I could aspire to for real. That era will always have a cherished place in my heart. It seems like I’m not the only one. The late Eighties and early Nineties still exert a firm grip on the cultural imagination. Last year, I revisited my formative years in the form of my after-hours Gogglebox alter ego, guzzling down two of the best TV shows of 2018, Pose and The Assassination of Gianni…

EDITOR’S LETTER

Stone Island knows that ever-changing spring temperatures can make for tricky dressing. Unfazed, the iconic Italian brand is embracing that flux with its cunning new jacket/vest, featuring sleeves that zip off to leave a smart gilet – and the clever heat-reactive fabric changes colour along with the temperature from frosty white to balmy royal blue and fiery red. It’ll keep your Instagram Stories lit till autumn. Men At Work Banish all thoughts of builders’ bums – workwear doesn’t have to be sloppy. Put a slim-fit spin on utility staples with 66°North’s Tangi pants, which come in cobalt blue or black nylon, and are positively peppered with pockets. Plus, the reflective strips mean that your mates will never lose you in the bar. Shine on. All the detail Streetwear has rarely felt as intricate as…

AW19 sees the release of Fila Fjeld, the latest in a line of experimental projects with sportswear powerhouse Fila. After being approached by Fila to create a new line, Elgar Johnson, deputy editor and fashion director of British GQ Style, brought designer Astrid Andersen on board on the project, with both serving as creative directors. The idea was to show an example of where the streetwear market is moving, using both their personal influences. ‘The world of streetwear is evolving at such a fast pace,’ says Elgar. ‘With this project Fila provided a platform for us to collect our thoughts and suggestions as to what happens next. It’s an exciting time as there’s no right or wrong option at this point.’ The Fila Fjeld collection will be available in August…

CRYSTAL RASMUSSEN

Acclaimed erotic author and Nobel Literature Prize winner (in the making) Crystal Rasmussen is the alter ego of journalist Tom Rasmussen. ‘Wealthy’ is how she’d describe herself in one word. At odds with Tom, who actually grew up far from London in Lancaster, Crystal has become the space where everything Tom dreamed of as a child is now a glorious reality. ‘Like these Philipp Plein boots, for example,’ Crystal drawls as she sips from a frothing flute of Cristal Champagne, a business empire of which she claims to own 51 per cent. ‘This book is actually my most personal work yet,’ the ageing ingénue reveals about her newest publishing sensation, Diary of a Drag Queen. ‘It’s really about queerness, about class, about finding your way as a young, scared person…

THE POOLSIDE HUSTLER

THE POOLSIDE HUSTLER

Jask former GQ Style cover star J Hus: bucket hats are back, baby. And they’re bolder than ever. This season, Fendi teamed up with punk-inspired artist Nico Vascellari for devilishly seductive prints, and the bucket hat, branded with the house’s iconic FF logo, was the SS19 collection’s insouciant – and affordable – crowning glory. Be bold and top them off with the brand’s polygon-shaped shades: there’s never been a better time to see the world through new eyes. We Have Lift Off! Fasten your seatbelts. Levi’s is taking us back in time to the late Fifties Space Race. Boxy zip-ups, high-waisted jeans and knitted polos faithfully recreate the period’s silhouette, with many styles taken from Levi’s’ own cavernous archives. Other pieces are directly inspired by a generation of teens in Alabama’s ‘Rocket…

HERO FIENNES TIFFIN

Twenty-one-year-old Hero is the youngest in an acting dynasty led by his uncle, Ralph Fiennes. Currently best known for playing young Voldemort in the sixth Harry Potter movie, Hero is about to grow up. He’s grown out his close-shaved hair and has just wrapped as the romantic lead in a film due for release later this year – dark, sexy teen romp called After, which looks set to establish him as the new millennial heartthrob to beat (watch out Noah Centineo). ‘It’s that typical old love story but done in a new refreshing, relevant way,’ he says. ‘We don’t shy away from the arguments or the sex element – which is an important factor, especially with a first love.’ His philosophy on stardom at a young age is steeped in…

THE IN-FLIGHT PRO

THE IN-FLIGHT PRO

He’s about to be as famous as Facebook. This year, we’ll not only see 23-year-old Finn Cole return as Michael Gray on BBC’s addictive drama Peaky Blinders, but he’ll also make his movie star debut in the Thirties-set thriller Dreamland as a bounty hunter in search of Margot Robbie (nice work if you can get it). ‘I’m a method actor in terms of the research,’ he says. ‘I look into why people do things, draw parallels to my own personality and make a character that’s halfway between myself and them.’ This engenders a kind of openness on set, Finn says, even when he’s chain-smoking and bickering with his ‘brothers’ on Peaky Blinders. And while he says his mum would describe him as ‘serious’, in person Finn is chipper and optimistic…

FULL RAVE MATERIAL

Techno never died. Embrace the Nineties dance genre with Hugo’s raspberry-ripple-fresh new unisex kicks, unveiled at Berlin Fashion Week – where else but Europe’s electronic music capital – and now yours to own from its London Sloane Square flagship. But don’t think they’re just for Sunday casuals, though – these trainers’ blend of supple leather, suede and structured mesh make them a winner with tailored slacks, box-fresh trackies or straight-fit shorts. They’re part of a growing trend for chunky, rave-inspired footwear, from Balenciaga’s supersized sneakers to Yeezy kicks that bulge like bubble waffes. But Hugo’s vision puts a slightly more wearable spin on the style. And, for a more toned-down look, these also come in all-over beige. Just don’t wear these bad boys to the rave – that candyfloss canvas will…

COOL FOR THE SUMMER

Before making a beeline for your navy suit this season why not take your pick from a palette of ice cream hues? Mick Jagger favoured a pistachio three-piece, David Bowie wore anything from bubble-gum blue to peachy-cream tailoring and Harry Styles has taken to the stage in a raspberry pink suit. And now, thanks to M&S, you too can embrace powdery pastels this summer. Rethink your tailoring looks with softer, slimmer silhouettes and pair dusty pink or sky blue suiting with Oxford shirts and white trainers for an effortless aesthetic. Fancy yourself in something more relaxed? Throw out the rule book and break up suits with linen bomber jackets and jersey blazers for a more unconstructed style. Or trust in denim to freshen up your tailored pieces. Whether it’s a…

COOL FOR THE SUMMER

Real men wear pink. But if fuchsia is a little loud, give a nod to rosy tones with flashes of coral – Scotch and Soda’s new sneakers are just the ticket. The Dutch brand’s first ever footwear line launches this season, with its inaugural collection inspired by the sun-bleached palette of summer afternoons at the seaside. These playful trainers are our pick of the bunch: lush suede uppers, patterned laces, and chunky rubber soles tough enough to withstand any after-dark adventures. Clock This Time is money, so don’t waste a second: Tateossian’s slick new Prezioso watch line adds a splash of colour to your wrist while keeping things office appropriate. Each piece in the range features a semi-precious stone face, from lapis to tiger-eye, but we love the shimmering mother-of-pearl design, pictured…

When asked how he would describe himself, Kelvin Bueno takes a deep drag on his cigarette before announcing that he is ‘in purgatory’. ‘If you know, you know,’ he continues enigmatically. Frankly I don’t, but a cursory listen to his intense rock band Outer Stella Overdrive – who he’s in alongside Jude Law’s eldest son Raff – proves that Kelvin is caught between heaven and hell. OSO’s bruising riffs and full-throttle vocals are inspired by British bands of the Nineties who sung so hard their voices almost gave out. ‘Our songs are from a place of frustration,’ Kelvin explains. ‘We love London, but there’s a lot of fakeness here, people have weird intentions.’ This authenticity, and the ability to speak about your emotions, form the heart of Kelvin’s music and…

very normal stories.’ That’s the modest way that reggae-inspired artist Ady Suleiman describes his scalpel-sharp songs about the tumult of young adulthood. ‘It’s about anything that I’ve been emotional about in the past,’ he says. ‘Growing up, love stories with girls, mental health, family, and friends.’ Take Sad Story (Out of Luck), an unflinchingly honest track about working-class life and how hard it can be when the world doesn’t give you many chances. The key to a good song, in Ady’s opinion, is emotional honesty. Is it harder for a man to be vulnerable? ‘For me it’s never been an issue,’ he says. ‘But it can be really diffcult for a lad to speak sensitively and emotionally about anything.’ So Ady does it for us. ‘More often than not [my…

Life deprived of beauty is not worthy of being called human,’ famously said the great Mexican architect Luis Barragán. We couldn’t agree more. That philosophy is at the core of Nicce’s colour-blocking new capsule collection, which is inspired by Barragán and puts an unexpected sculptural twist on streetwear favourites. Sundae-sweet panels will keep your wardrobe bright, even if the Great British Summer ends up being a washout. Hey, Taiger Go bananas for Taigarama – Vuitton’s juiced-up new leather goods line, reimagining the house’s signature monogrammed Taiga leather into acid brights, obsidian black, and white that’s brighter than a Hollywood smile. The messenger bag is all you need to travel light this summer: pop in your iPad, an eye mask, and face mist for a ritzy mile-high experience, even if you’re travelling in…

DEAN-CHARLES CHAPMAN

Dean chews gum in that way only someone with a ‘cheeky chappy’ demeanour can. An Essex boy who first trod the boards as Billy Elliot in the West End at the age of 12, he describes himself as ‘easy-going’ and thinks it’s cool to love your mum and dad. ‘I think it’s cool to love full stop,’ he explains. ‘With the older generation it was a bit of an embarrassment to love. Now we’re a much more easy-going generation: say what you want, be who you want.’ While that ethos isn’t always associated with thespian life, Dean says that it helps. ‘If you’re easy-going with acting and let it flow, it helps the scene and makes it more natural.’ It’s evidently working: after an early role in Game of Thrones,…

ESCAPE TO THE COUNTRY

We’ve got the horn for CP Company. And, apparently, so does Dublin rap phenomenon in-the-making Rejjie Snow, who’s teamed up with the casualwear wizards for a new photo project A Love Letter To Dublin, shot by fringe culture-obsessed photographer Joshua Gordon – who happens to also be Rejjie’s longtime pal. Rejjie’s making strides across the pond, on the back of his eclectic 2018 debut album Dear Annie (he shares a US label with Migos and Young Thug), but as the Dublin-created images show, there’s no place like home. In a similar way, CP Company’s SS19 line stays true to the brand’s proud history of smartening up urban staples, with a signature colour palette of slate grey, olive, and navy, as well as statement flashes of Pepto-Bismol pink and pillar-box red. The…

‘I didn’t have any friends,’ says Cody Fern, setting down his teacup of black Earl Grey, steam wisping off the top. ‘No one wanted to hang out with me. I was severely bullied. It was not fun.’ Although Fern grew up as an outcast in the remote Australian Outback, there are a lot of eyes drawn to him now in the kitschy surroundings of LA’s Hollywood Historic Hotel lobby. We’ve set up the interview at what we hoped would be a quiet table. It’s not. A Midwestern family is loudly checking in, and the off-brand-polo-shirt-wearing son takes a long sideways look in our direction. Perhaps he recognises Fern, or maybe he simply sees the dictaphone on the table and infers that this striking fellow with a razor-cut jaw, frost-blue eyes and…

Harris Dickinson

‘THAT’S PERSONAL, MAN. Like, why would that be in an interview?’ Harris Dickinson is gazing at me, gracefully slumped over a high table in a studio in North London. His readable face enacts a display of disarming helplessness; his body is a hive of unease. I’m flummoxed. The question I have asked to prompt this moment of You-Shall-Not-Pass is whether he has meetings with his agents to discuss his career direction. He continues: ‘Would you be happy to talk about the set-up of your work situation and the conversations that happen inside of your work world, on paper, for everyone to see?’ And, because Dickinson is a sweet, likable man – there is no bile in him, no aggression; the stand he takes at this point seems to stem from real…

THE WORLD’S ONLY SILENT ROCK’N’ROLL STAR

It all comes down to a look. That’s what it was always about. Of course, Lindsay Kemp knew a grand gesture, and better than most, knew the importance of make-up and costume. But nothing could stand in his way when he cast his eyes over the audience, blood pouring from his mouth, shining in rivulets over his stark, white, powdered chin. Kemp was born in Wirral, Merseyside, the year before WWII broke. He passed away last August. He was a dancer, a choreographer, an actor and a director; and also, somehow, none of them – his talent, his thing, his mojo, irreducible to one easy job title. He called himself, ‘The world’s only silent rock’n’roll star.’ For Kate Bush and David Bowie, he was a teacher and collaborator: the former compared…

FRAPPÉ D’AMOUR

What’s eating Evan Peters? In a half-empty Italian diner in East Hollywood, he’s spent most of our interview on a bright January afternoon cracking dry jokes, but there’s something melancholy about his demeanour. The 32-year-old star of TV and film has enjoyed a steady trajectory of roles in some of this decade’s bigger blockbusters and cult series, but without that one watershed moment – yet – to elevate him to Hollywood’s A-list. As an actor his job is to work through emotion. Today, Peters appears to be working through something, as he contemplates his biggest learning arc thus far. But as the bittersweet classic Smile by Nat King Cole travels through the air with its lyrics ‘Smile though your heart is aching,’ he seems on the verge of an existential…

SPIKE JONZE THE MAN WHO PUNKED POP CULTURE

SPIKE JONZE is still the coolest director in Hollywood. Having made the jump from directing scuzzy skateboarding films to lo-fi music videos in the early Nineties, the 49-year-old graduated to professional prankster as co-creator of MTV’s Jackass, and directed emo AI prophecy Her all the way to an Oscar win. Jonze’s signature style – an imaginative mesh of punk aesthetics with freewheeling whimsy – has cemented his status as a pioneering Hollywood outlaw. The cinematic multi-hyphenate, born Adam Spiegel and later nicknamed Spike for a piece of hair that stood on end, initially only had dreams of filming his friends doing BMX and skateboard tricks when he moved out to California the day after his high school exams. There, he wrote for and contributed photos to the adrenaline junkie magazine Freestylin’.…
