FML MAGAZINE : ISSUE 2 ☁️ THE DREAM ISSUE ☁️ The Fashion Cover: Yulia Fomenko Welcome to The Dream Issue. For our FML Fashion cover, we enter a surreal allegory built as a vibrant living room, a world of saturated color imagined as an escape from a grey skied childhood and a window into a younger Yulia’s inner life. This dreamscape reflects Yulia Fomenko, also known as Cat, and her belief that “creativity is a form of manifestation and it works in many ways. The energy you put in and where you put your attention in your work create your reality.” A Brooklyn based writer, director, actor, and fashion collector and an NYU Tisch graduate, Cat has built a singular creative universe where storytelling, humor, and visual fantasy collide. Her fashion collector journey is rooted in deep research, archival devotion, and a love of pre owned pieces, treating clothing as living history and a tool for self expression rather than trend. Through micro short films, get ready with me rituals, and inventive styling challenges, Cat bridges past and future with an instinctive, sustainable chic, transforming the everyday into something enchanted and inviting her audience to dream through dressing.

FML Magazine : ISSUE 2 THE DREAM ISSUE The Music Cover: Rhea Raj Reshaping pop music through culture, fashion, and authorship, Rhea Raj represents a new generation of artists defining global pop on their own terms. Indian-American, genre-fluid, and visually exacting, her work exists at the intersection of sound and image, where identity is not softened for accessibility but sharpened through purpose. While HUNTER introduced Rhea Raj as an artist commanding her voice and presence, COMMOTION expands that world with greater emotional range and intention. The project marks a chapter defined by authenticity and vulnerability, where confidence is balanced with openness and control gives way to exploration. As she steps into this next phase, Rhea Raj does so with a clearer sense of self, allowing her music, visuals, and performance to speak with a scale that feels both personal and unapologetically her own EIC: @GinaKPark

FML Magazine : ISSUE 2 THE DREAM ISSUE The Lifestyle Cover: Kayra Theodore Kayra Theodore approaches hair as sculpture, using braids as a language of form, memory, and identity. Influenced by her upbringing as a Haitian American, her work is shaped by the tension between tradition and self determination. What began as instinctive experimentation evolved into a practice that resists convention, where hair moves beyond adornment and becomes a conceptual medium. Through collaboration and self styling, Theodore developed a visual signature that is intentional, architectural, and unapologetically expressive. Grounded in self awareness and cultural inquiry, Theodore’s creations challenge narrow definitions of beauty and professionalism surrounding Black hair. Each piece is led by emotion and narrative, drawing from heritage, geometry, and lived experience to create work that is both intimate and expansive. Her artistry invites viewers to engage beyond the surface, positioning hair not just as beauty, but as presence, authorship, and art. EIC: @ginakpark

FML Magazine: Digital Cover Story May 2026 Starring @austinkangg It’s not dilution he’s advocating for, but translation. Allowing Korean cuisine to travel without losing its identity. In Mukjung’s kitchen, that philosophy quietly unfolds, not as a fusion for the sake of novelty, but a natural extension of context. For all its conceptual elegance, the reality of Mukjung (like any restaurant) is grounded in the daily unpredictability of service. “The kitchen teaches you the reality of life,” Chef Kang explains. “Nothing is going to go your way.” There’s no romanticism in the statement. Just Clarity. It’s a place where control is illusion, resilience becomes a skill, and success is often measured in small, fleeting moments: a smooth service, a satisfied table, a team that holds together under pressure.

FML Magazine: Digital Cover Story May 2026 Starring @austinkangg There are restaurants you stumble into, and then there are restaurants that require intention. Mukjung belongs to the latter; a place that feels less like a reservation and more like a decision. You don’t just arrive here; you choose it. The road to Mukjung is part of its thesis. There is, as its chef and owner, Austin Kang, puts it simply, “you come to a place that’s not in a fast-paced environment.” No clusters of bars, no retail spillover, no ambient noise of a neighborhood performing for itself. Just distance. And in that distance, a kind of recalibration occurs, where time stretches and conversations deepen, allowing for meals that slow down. “You truly focus on each other,” as Chef Kang says. “Korean food is slow food,” he shares, almost as a quiet correction to the speed at which dining culture has begun to move. “I wanted to focus on a place where the area has a story.” It’s a radical idea in an era of turn-and-burn tables and algorithm-chasing menus that exhaust us: that a restaurant could somehow function as a pause button.

“No Dior, no Dietrich!” Marlene Dietrich famously told Alfred Hitchcock in 1949 as the director negotiated her appearance in his next film with Warner Bros. The actor had to wear Dior. Last night in Los Angeles, that timeless relationship between fashion and film took center stage as Jonathan Anderson unveiled his very first Cruise collection for Dior at the newly opened David Geffen Galleries inside Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Against the backdrop of California glamour and Hollywood mythology, the maison celebrated decades of cinematic history through a modern Dior lens. The guest list was just as star-studded as the runway itself. Lauren Hutton, Jisoo, Sabrina Carpenter, Mikey Madison, Miley Cyrus, Leslie Mann with Maude Apatow, Greta Lee, Miles Teller and a surprise appearance from Al Pacino all gathered for the occasion. For one night, Hollywood belonged to Dior. #FMLMagazine

On this week’s FML New Music Fridays, this week we’re actually going back in time. Katy Perry returns with The One That Got The Plays, a greatest hits collection that feels less like a nostalgia grab and more like a reminder of just how completely she dominated modern pop. From “Teenage Dream” to “California Gurls,” “Firework,” “Dark Horse,” and “Roar,” Perry spent the better part of two decades soundtracking radio, clubs, shopping malls, and every overly emotional car ride imaginable. Few artists defined the scale and spectacle of 2010s pop quite like she did. The hits were massive, the visuals were everywhere, and the numbers became historic. Teenage Dream alone produced a run of chart success that placed Perry in a category occupied by only the biggest names in pop history. What makes this moment especially interesting is the renewed life of “The One That Got Away.” More than a decade after its original release, the song has found a second wave online, climbing charts again and connecting with a younger audience that somehow missed it the first time around. It speaks to the durability of Perry’s catalog. Beneath the candy colored pop aesthetic was an artist with an instinct for huge choruses and emotionally direct songwriting that still cuts through years later. In an era where pop stars burn bright and disappear fast, Perry’s run across the last two decades remains genuinely monumental. The One That Got The Plays doesn’t just celebrate hits. It documents one of the defining mainstream pop careers of the century so far. Swipe right to see some of our favorite KP hits (& music videos) over the years #FMLMagazine

Demi Moore arrived at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival today in one of the first standout fashion moments of the festival, wearing a sculptural ivory Jacquemus look from the brand’s Fall 2026 “Le Palmier” collection. The strapless dress featured a corseted waist, exaggerated hips, and a fluted hem covered in multicolored polka dot appliqués that several fashion outlets compared to confetti floating in the Riviera breeze. Styled by Brad Goreski, Moore paired the retro inspired silhouette with white pointed pumps, oversized cat eye sunglasses, and a matching Valérie mini bag, leaning fully into the playful French glamour aesthetic Simon Porte Jacquemus has been building around the collection. #FMLMagazine

FML MUSIC EXCLUSIVE In a move that signals the next evolution of the global girl group model, HYBE and Geffen Records have officially introduced SAINT SATINE, the four-member act unveiled alongside the finale of WORLD SCOUT: THE FINAL PIECE on ABEMA. Framed as a new-generation global pop collective, the group brings together Emily (USA), Lexie (Sweden), Samara (Brazil), and newly selected member Sakura (Japan), whose journey from one of more than 14,000 applicants to the final lineup was documented throughout the series. Emily, Lexie, and Samara first emerged as standout fan favorites through the Netflix docuseries Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE, and now re-enter the spotlight as part of HYBE x Geffen’s latest international music venture, one designed to blur cultural borders while sharpening a distinct, fashion-forward identity. Coinciding with the finale, HYBE x Geffen Records also released the digital single album World Scout: The Final Piece - Finale, a two-track project capturing the climactic performances that determined the group’s final member. Sakura joins Emily, Lexie, and Samara on the explosive “PARTY b4 the PARTY,” a bass-heavy, high-energy anthem built around bold vocal interplay and celebratory chaos, while finalist Ayana appears on “WE RIDE,” a sleek, nostalgic R&B track anchored by smooth harmonies and understated confidence. The launch of SAINT SATINE extends the growing partnership between HYBE and Geffen, whose earlier collaboration produced KATSEYE, the internationally successful act born from Dream Academy. #FMLMagazine

On “Rock Music,” Charli XCX turns irony into autobiography, trading the fluorescent chaos of the club for distorted guitars, deadpan vocals, and lyrics that read like blurry diary entries from the afterparty. Beneath the tongue in cheek “the dancefloor is dead” refrain, the track feels less like a rejection of pop and more like a meditation on creative burnout, fame, intimacy, and the exhaustion of constantly performing a persona. The lyricism is deceptively messy, balancing nihilism, humor, and vulnerability in a way only Charli can, while the production still pulses with her hyperpop DNA despite the grungier aesthetic. “Rock Music” isn’t really about rock at all. It’s about what happens when an artist starts questioning the machine around her and decides chaos might be the most honest sound left. #FMLMagazine

There is a certain energy defining fashion right now. Less polished, less explained, and far more instinctive. W!LDCH!LD fits squarely into that shift, arriving with a strong point of view and no interest in softening it for mass appeal. At a time when many brands chase relevance through constant drops and trend cycles, W!LDCH!LD moves with intention. The aesthetic is sharp, confident, and wearable without losing its edge. Much of the brand’s growing visibility has happened organically. When artists like Lady Gaga, Demi Lovato, and Jessica Simpson wear the label, it feels less like promotion and more like alignment. These are figures known for defining their own image, not following someone else’s. Read more on the link in Bio under “Fashion” #FMLMagazine

In an art world often divided between disciplines, Sir Daniel K. Winn continues to collapse boundaries with striking precision and deeply personal intent. His latest accolade, a Gold Medal from Mondial Art Academia for the sculpture Chrysalis, feels less like a singular achievement and more like a natural evolution of a career defined by transformation itself. The bronze and Lucite piece is not just an artwork. It is a living fragment of a much larger narrative, one that stretches across memory, medium, and time. Winn’s recognition by Mondial Art Academia, which also includes a Silver Medal for his oil painting Observation, underscores the breadth of his creative vision. Both works are part of the larger Chrysalis series, reinforcing the idea that this is not a single project but an interconnected body of work. Each piece, whether sculptural or cinematic, contributes to a wider meditation on existence, one shaped by Winn’s signature philosophy of Existential Surrealism. Through this lens, reality bends just enough to reveal deeper truths about free will, destiny, and the human condition.
