MATERIAL CONDITION for Sixtysix Issue 15. With a focus on grown and natural fibers, @armadilloandco rugs frame clothing and space as a shared terrain shaped by texture and tone.

Where past and present collide, a new aesthetic emerges. Medieval grandeur is re-imagined in @sixtysixmag Issue 14 as armor meets avant-garde and tradition blends with rebellion. Set against striking backdrops, each look tells a story of strength, elegance, and the blurred lines between history and the present.

Pilar Zeta’s (@pilar_zeta ) Mexico City apartment is fluid, dreamlike, and precise. ⁠ ⁠ Tucked behind an unassuming gate just off a busy street in the Roma Norte neighborhood, the space opens into a kind of sanctuary: high ceilings, soft natural light, and walls that double as a rotating gallery of her own pieces. A massive wool tapestry of her design hangs in the entranceway, its main character is a black cat that looks curiously like her own cat Matrix. However the tapestry came first—the cat manifested itself later.⁠ ⁠ Read the full story at the link in our bio.⁠ ⁠ Photos by @chrissforce ⁠ HMU: @vicentguijarro ⁠ Styling: @sebastianhull ⁠

Designer LaQuan Smith (@laquan_smith ) drew inspiration from the unapologetic strength and glamour of powerful women for his F/W 2024 lineup, channeling the commanding presence of 1980s Wall Street executives and the sultry allure of Studio 54 vixens, according to his website. ⁠ ⁠ The collection features curve-hugging silky dresses, sheer tops, furs, and bodysuits paired with sharp tailoring. The wearer can seamlessly transition from boardroom meetings in office-ready attire to evening events in equally stunning pieces from the same collection. This collection marks a bold exploration of daywear for the designer, blending sophistication with his signature edge.⁠ ⁠ Photos by @chrissforce ⁠ ⁠ Model: @landryhudman with @therockagency ⁠ ⁠ HMUA: @tanyareneltartistry with @therockagency ⁠

Anne Isabella (@anne___isabella ) is reviving the spirit of the 1960s and ‘70s. The Danish-French fashion designer blends vintage inspiration with playful prints, intricate details, and sharp tailoring. Her designs also explore repetition, optical illusions, and visual twists—creating pieces that invite a second glance. “My collections often start with research, exploration, testing things, and trying to create new shapes,” she says. “Eventually, the process stops and the pieces take over and have a life of their own.” Read the full story in @sixtysixmag Issue 13.

Lola Young for the cover of @sixtysixmag Issue 13. Lola (@lolayounggg ) sat down with us in our Chicago studio just hours before her first ever American festival performance at @lollapalooza . Fresh off the success of her latest album “This Wasn’t Meant for You Anyway,” she opened up about her excitement and nerves. Born and raised in South London, Lola’s roots—along with influences like @prince , @jonimitchell , and @erykahbadu —have shaped her unique sound. Now at 24, her career is taking off with shows across North America and beyond. Read the full story at the link in our bio. ✍🏻: Gianna Annunzio (@gianna.annunzio ) 📸: Chris Force (@chrissforce )

Yorgo Tloupas (@yorgotloupas ) is a designer whose impact on visual culture is as bold and unmistakable as his personal style. As the creative force behind commercial campaigns for @omega , @loropiana , @lacoste , and art direction for @vanityfairfrance , he has a knack for turning brands into icons. His triangle-shaped home, much like work at his design agency @yorgoandco , balances oddity with elegance: an eclectic space filled with custom furniture, design books, and pieces that tell a story.

French interior designer Elizabeth Garouste (@elizabethgarouste ) began her career in the late 1970s when she and her husband, French painter Gérard Garouste, were commissioned to design the interior of the iconic Parisian club Le Palace. In the 1980s she formed a long-lasting partnership with Mattia Bonetti, together creating what they called “Barbarian” furniture—a bold, expressive style that stood in stark contrast to the trends of functionalism and minimalism in French design at the time. “Full of color” is a phrase that aptly describes Ara Starck’s (@arastarck ) universe. Full of color, full of light, bigger-than-life—her abstract pieces of art can hardly fit into a gallery space. Her work finds its true home on ceilings, gigantic walls, or windows. Ara’s free-spirited state of mind drove her multidisciplinary work into new dimensions, where it seems anything could morph into something else: from multifaceted portraits to stained glass windows and textiles, the shapes she draws never seem to settle for too long. We visited Elizabeth and Ara’s home and studios in Paris where they discussed their work, and their bond of chosen family. Read the full story in @sixtysixmag Issue 13.

I took some photos of my favorite people and designs at @designmiami . “Design Miami is probably the most important, or at least the most interesting, design fair happening in the US. The fair is held right across the street from Art Basel Miami, the anchor show for Miami Art Week, and a hub of bustling, chaotic, commercial energy. So it’s surprising that a fair focused on design—rather than pure art—feels much more creative and calmly composed than its art-focused neighbors.” Read the rest of my story at @sixtysixmag
