What did you work on for this issue? DANIELLA MIDENGE PHOTOGRAPHER ‘On a warm summer evening, I was lucky to pull the trigger on Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly in a garage in Downtown Los Angeles.’ JOEL PALMER CONTRIBUTING EDITOR ‘As Contributing Editor for the AW21 issue of GQ Style, I created an editorial that showcases the importance of queer artistic community and today’s rave culture. It’s an insight into the integral role that nightlife has in providing inspiration, safe spaces and a sense of family for creative individuals.’ PAUL SOLOMONS CREATIVE DIRECTOR ‘I worked as the Creative Director on this issue and the previous ten years’ editions of GQ Style. This one will be my last. My passion for magazines was born when I worked for the printing press in my hometown as a teenager, producing titles…

PIN-UPS AND PROVOCATEURS

Growing up in the 1990s, magazines were my window into another world. I bought every issue of Vogue and would wait breathlessly for every edition of The Face, i-D and Attitude to reach the shelves of my local newsagent’s. I was so inspired by the bold, the brave and the beautiful that lived within these pages. I pored over the fashion editorials, catwalk shows and club pages filled with nightlife peacocks, giving me direct insight into a world that I longed to be a part of. Great editors of that time, including Dylan Jones, whom I had the pleasure of working for at GQ Style for ten years, influenced me to aspire to one day be an editor of a great magazine too. I wanted to be a part of…

PIN-UPS AND PROVOCATEURS

LONDON’S NEXT WAVE

AIDAN ZAMIRI Photographer ‘I’m accidentally mysterious,’ jokes photographer Aidan Zamiri, but he’s not exactly wrong. More comfortable behind the camera, despite being an image-maker, he’s not interested in capturing himself – though he made an exception in this instance. A master of light, his images are hauntingly beautiful and somewhat sinister, often with a retro, VHS-esque feel. You’ll have seen his work with avant-pop musicians from Sega Bodega and Shygirl to Caroline Polachek, as well as collaborating with London’s upcoming design names such as Paolina Russo and Mowalola. Endearingly humble, he claims to have blagged his way into the industry, armed only with Photoshop skills he picked up from endless days spent on Bebo and Tumblr as a teen. ‘The big secret is that I didn’t know how to take photos or…

CP COMPANY CP Company’s now iconic goggle jacket was originally created for the 1988 Italian Mille Miglia off-road race. Today, it is still one of the Italian label’s signature pieces, but for this season it has been recast in a more sustainable fabrication. Crafted in Chrome-R, a fully recycled version of the brand’s foundation, woven, multifilament nylon, it still offers a near-impermeable barrier against water and wind. And for those fans of CP Company’s signature garment dye effect, Chrome-R generates lighter and more vibrant tones on the finished product. The same, but different. DUNHILL Dunhill has always had a need for speed. By 1895 its founder, Alfred Dunhill, established Dunhill’s Motorities, a collection for automobile enthusiasts. In recognition of that, the company’s creative director, Mark Weston, has introduced the beautifully crafted GT Lock…

IN THE BACKROOM OF A STUDIO, MACHINE GUN KELLY AND MEGAN FOX ARE GIVING EACH OTHER TATTOOS WHILE I WATCH. The lovebirds’ matching tattoos will read, ‘The darkest fairytale’, a phrase Fox says ‘alludes back to one of the first text messages we ever sent each other’. Fox wants to get inked first, because MGK has tattooed before and she’d rather not delay the pain. MGK clarifies he’s done some drunk scrawling with the tattoo gun before, but this is serious. He dips the needle in ink, presses down on the traced phrase and looks at Fox to make sure she’s OK. Fox puffs on a CBD joint to relax and they both decide they might as well just jump into it. He starts going over the stencil with the needle,…

‘I’VE NEVER FELT FULLY ACCEPTED BY THE FASHION INDUSTRY. MY WORK IS NOT FOR EVERYONE AND IT DOESN’T ALWAYS PLEASE THE CRITICS’ In luxury fashion – a world of rampaging egos and seven-figure salaries – there are few people that still truly tell it like it is. It makes meeting someone whose business it is to speak their mind as refreshing as a just-popped soda. This is how I find Jeremy Scott, fashion’s high priest of pop, relaxed, soft spoken and disarmingly fresh-looking, just days after showing his whimsical SS22 womenswear collection for Moschino. It’s an early autumn day and Scott, now in his eighth year as creative director of the Italian fashion house, is taking a break in a busy day of fittings for the Met Gala. In a swishy Upper…

IN 2017, THE ENGLISH SKATER AND DESIGNER LEV TANJU TRAVELLED FROM LONDON TO NEW YORK TO TAKE A MEETING AT THE MADISON AVENUE HEADQUARTERS OF THE RALPH LAUREN CORPORATION. Palace, the skate brand Tanju had founded with friends in 2009, was on the brink of a momentous collaboration: working with the legendary American fashion company on a co-branded collection that was set to include silk pyjamas, velvet slippers and the beloved ‘heelflip’ Polo Bear sweater. Ralph Lauren had always been one of Tanju’s favourite brands (and a favourite of just about any skater who came up in the 1990s). Nevertheless, Tanju arrived for the meeting attired as he would be on most any other day – whether he was going to the pub or the skate park – wearing a pair…

MOSES SUMNEY’S PIONEERING DOUBLE ALBUM, ‘GRAE’, WAS A PROPHETIC LISTEN FOR MANY IN LOCKDOWN, CENTRING ON THE LACK OF ROMANTIC LOVE. WITH A LIVE ALBUM DUE FOR RELEASE THIS AUTUMN, THE ARTISTIC POLYMATH REFLECTS ON WHAT LOCKDOWN MEANT FOR HIM (‘ELABORATE SKINCARE ROUTINES’ AND CREATING A HOME), HIS MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH TO ART AND FEELING LIKE HE’S IN A SOCIAL EXPERIMENT AS A BLACK MAN IN THE INDIE MUSIC SCENE Moses Sumney is now at home, both figuratively and literally. At the start of 2020, the 29-year-old musician looked set to solidify his indie star status with the release of his impressively ambitious double album, Grae, an experimental pop wonder that tugs at the boundaries of multiple genres while exploring isolation and a rejection of simplistic, binary identities. Only a few weeks…

It’s the steamy end of a New York summer, when just a stroll outside is a doggy paddle through humidity, but the tall, lean Omar Apollo is fresh as a long-stemmed daisy. The 24-year-old singer, born Omar Apolonio Velasco, has salt-and-pepper hair, a shaved face and an outfit that’s shiny and impeccable from the chunky Prada boots up, with fingernails painted pearly white and a gleaming diamond tennis bracelet. At 6’ 5”, he’s a towering if gangly figure, slouching his shoulders in a tiny East Village coffee shop as though he’s a teen who just had a growth spurt but is unsure of what to do with the inches. He has a guarded quality to him, which is equal parts steely and sweetly shy. He’s working on his major-label debut…

NEW PUNK REVOLUTION

Child of the 1990s, a multitasking Northern boy, a designer of uplifting preppy-mod British menswear who melds sustainable-ethical principles into making clothes that are just, well, fun to wear: Daniel Fletcher is the face of a lot that’s determinedly very different about his generation. An entrepreneurial rule breaker who is still only 31, he already has so much under his belt that it’s hard to remember that he only burst to public attention with his eponymous Daniel W. Fletcher collection in 2016. He’s also been bringing his energetic knack for design and branding to Fiorucci as its men’s artistic director since just before the first lockdown in 2020. Service is now fully resumed, bouncing back to typically enthusiastic form with the launch of Fletcher’s autumn/winter spin on Fiorucci. It’s part athletic,…

HIGHLAND HORROR

Veneno, like its titular protagonist, is a study in contrasts and contradictions. The Spanish television series is both a fabulous eulogy and sombre celebration of the late Nineties trans icon Cristina Ortiz Rodríguez. Better known as ‘La Veneno’ (Poison), Cristina was a sex worker turned scene-stealing fixture on variety talk shows in her native Spain, where her unfiltered candour and imposing curves made her into must-see TV. More than two decades later, she’s yet again the talk of the town – of the world, in fact – courtesy of Atresmedia’s series, which goes beyond her iconic catchphrases, her infamous get-ups and the lurid details surrounding her death to tell a decidedly postmodern riff on La Veneno’s memoir, Valeria Vegas’ Digo! Ni Puta Ni Santa. Las Memorias De La Veneno (Listen! Neither…

Just over three years ago Joel Palmer, the photographer and stylist popularly known as Boyheart, made the decision to live among a creative community in a warehouse space in Manor House, North London. On paper the space was not dramatically far away from their previous residence in Hackney, East London, but psycho-geographically it was an entirely new world. Their move to the warehouse allowed them to escape the constraints and restrictions of the UK capital’s rental housing market, which forces tenants into cramped conditions that strangle creative freedom. ‘I was living in a three-bedroom terrace house without a living room in Hackney,’ Palmer says. ‘I only had a garden and bedroom with my dog. There was no living space. I would come to the warehouses to see friends or [go…
