A new world is calling. Welcome to The Gloss Issue. 🌀

Eccentric. Off-center. Whimsical. There’s a reason we’re attracted to those who operate on fashion’s cultural periphery: from the late Vivienne Westwood to Christian Lacroix to the playful photography of Yuanbo Li.

The Gloss Issue explores how we find whimsy, mischief, and possibility in everyday life — from encounters with strangers on 3 A.M. subway rides, the parties that turn into bacchanal delirium, and the fashion fairytales we find ourselves constructing.

An homage to the avant-garde fashion innovators of days gone by, Gloss features exclusive photoshoots (from vintage Gaultier dress-up to cowgirl couture), essays (from Fragrantica analyses to road-trip dressings), musings, and more, stitched together by our team of creatives.
