I have always been such a sucker for elegant calligraphy. The way it looks, the time it it took to write in such a exquisite way. The message didn’t even matter much. It could even read something as simple as “I’ve popped out to the store.”, but in calligraphy it is received as a love letter that looks more like, “Darling, I have gone on a short outing to gather some goods. If you need anything at all please text me. I cannot wait to finish my task so that I may once again, be reunited with you. With all my heart…”.

London Fashion Week always had an energetic and enticing vibe to it and I was curious to see if the fashion industry was ready to carry on again after the forced pause of live shows and events. Seems like all was well for the AJOY SAHU SS22 launch.

The Cohle Gallery is pleased to present "Twinkling Unknows", the first solo exhibition in France of the contemporary New York artist Adam Handler. This exhibition continues the artist's nostalgic journey with the subjects of the woman and the ghost. The relationship between feminine energies and its relationship with the other worldly or divine has always been a personal topic of intrigue for myself.
“I’m confused about the situation now, I’m confused about life, and about so many things. I’m sad. When I started this collection, I didn’t know what I was going to do; like everything starts, but it got to a point after two months, I realized that things are changing, people are thinking differently, people are being hurt by other people, diversity is an issue – there’s been so many things that have led to confusion.” - Kenneth Ize

In a world where we are reevaluating the way we consume and live, fashion is not a category to be overlooked. We express ourselves and our identities through the clothes we wear.

Edeline comments: “We are all navigating the digital landscape right now, but my brand operates on a human-scale."
