Looking at the double ampersand, you had a subcurrent sense of familiarity before you understood why: the logo for the 2018 Bread&&Butter by Zalando—a festival of fashion, music, and culture—was a contorted version of the iconic waterpipes that run along the graffiti-sprayed Berlin wall. The humorous and bizarre nature of the 3-D imagery belonged, of course, to the creative studio Sucuk und Bratwurst. Founded by the childhood friends Alessandro Belliero, David Gönner, Denis Olgac, and Lukas Olgac, Sucuk und Bratwurst made a name for themselves in the mid-2010s as CGI savants, with a surreal aesthetic that left a thumbprint on every work. The studio has a knack of instantiating dream-like distortions, mobilizing . For legacy streetwear brands and underground music labels alike, working with Sucuk und Bratwurst helped their attempts to modernize by embedding their products into a digital landscape in flux.

In this piece from (Summer 2026), Victoria Camblin constructs an urgent sequel to her original manifesto that appeared a decade earlier. Limited copies of A brand pays a culture worker 15k to make a deck predicting next year’s trends. The cultural shifts described in the PDF are then distilled into the brand’s market strategy and production line. If consumer behaviors are predicted to orient around mindfulness, the brand cancels colorways that don’t support emotional wellness and doubles down on upcycling and natural fibers. If the kids are projected to join book clubs, creative direction puts some Penguin Classics behind the models in the collection campaign, and special projects stages a series of library pop-ups.

“It’s like a German techno fragrance,” says Escentric Molecules co-founder and creative director Paul White of Molecule 01, the perfume that started it all for the boutique fragrance house. Crafted by the master perfumer and Escentric Molecules co-founder Geza Schoen, Molecule 01 consists, as the name implies, of a single molecule: Iso E Super. The molecule is thought of as an antidote to the tasteless maximalism of perfumes that assault your nostril cavities and disappear as quickly as they came. Molecule 01, as Schoen emphasizes, is a fragrance that resonates subliminally in the mind from the merest passing encounter. Just as techno expresses the complexity of texture that one can produce from delicate alterations in a repetitive sequence of notes, so does the repertoire of Escentric Molecules embody the richness of scents achievable from a reduced base of materials.

Deep in what feels like an endless maze of rooms, I glance at the time: 8:31 am. Everyone around me is still dancing as if it’s their last. Someone dressed up as the Easter bunny is making their way through a crowd of some of the most magnetic people I've seen, handing out sweets and fruits - just to hold everyone up a little longer. Yet nobody seems to be performing for anyone but the room itself. Born out of Lunchbox Candy, “your favorite party's favorite party” has built a reputation on nights that run past the point of reasonable endurance - up to twenty-four hours inside two of Berlin’s queer nightlife forerunners ÆDEN and Kreuzwerk. Dance floors are elaborate and themed to get lost in, performances and workshops blur into the crowd until nobody can tell who came to watch and who came to be watched. No phones. No recordings.

From the sculpted heel and thick midsole, you’d imagine a heavier shoe. The first glance at a successful design, however, is often deceptive. The bulk of the midsole is composed of a lightweight cushioning foam, while the forefoot contains a trampoline pod designed to provide a more responsive, spring-like sensation. This is a soft-feeling shoe for a hardcore routine. The shoe under consideration is the ASICS NOVABLAST™ 6—an emblematic object of our culture’s discourses around wellness, physical activity, and the optimal routine. Ever since the founder Kihachiro Onitsuka workshopped the company’s first pair of basketball shoes back in 1950, ASICS has envisioned products that sustain the athlete’s commitment to their daily craft.

culminated in a full-scale effigy of himself: dressed up in a pink suit, cradled in a pink ziggurat, at long last delivered from the machine age and its debasement of art and feeling. A portrait of him working at his own wake — one of the few remnants of the piece itself — was taken by Peter Hujar, his life-long, if flitting, lover and kindred spirit. “He dreamed of escape because there was none,” Andrew Durbin writes about Thek’s , the sculpture that rendered Thek an innovator in the bounds of installation art (a credential that faded out into anticlimactic obscurity a few years later). His geographical inconsistency and shirking of the rites his milieu demanded of him reduced Hujar’s lover to what Susan Sontag dubbed as a ‘footnote.’ Peter Hujar, with his tenuous connections to the art world in his lifetime, gained full-fledged recognition only in the mid-aughts, along with the mass reorientation towards the AIDS crisis and its artistic bequest.

Underwriting his scorched-earth rhythms on Berlin's Rosenthaler Platz, a has become the hallmark of the rapper and Mitte-native Lucio101 as his star has risen in the German rap scene. In some ways Lucio’s ascent has been unusual. Few figures have built their reputation on Mitte street corners, a neighborhood that often signals the destination of a work commute or acts as a byword for a post-cool Berlin. Ever since the 2016 release of the sleeper hit “A oder B” on SoundCloud while still a teenager, Lucio has spent his career excavating an alternate history of the city center with a calculated nonchalance.

Growing up in Hendersonville, North Carolina, in the eye of the Bible Belt where there are more churches than gas stations, Ash Blue Gutierrez, more commonly known to the world as Glaive, questioned his faith. South of the border, west of the sun, where the grass grows tall, and the children grow Protestant, Gutierrez queried the mundane. At fourteen, shying away from small-town semantics, Gutierrez found solace in music, spending his days experimenting with loud electronic sounds, prolific writing, and pre-pubescent wails. He was a peculiar mind surrounded by patron saints and retirees, but absorbed by high-BPM nightcore remixes. On his 2023 debut album , he belted suicide notes as song lyrics into the microphone and thanked himself for not taking his own life. His newest solo album, a twisted love letter to Hendersonville, confirmed his ability to transform teenage anguish into a moshpit for kids equally scared and confused by the world to find themselves in.

With technology dictating new musical realities, what’s “new” is no longer relevant – all that matters is what resonates. Born in a Sacramento garage in 1988, Deftones anticipated the needs of an internet-native generation searching for meaning in the pre-internet past. By making music that serves as an antidote to algorithmic malaise and insincerity, the band has redefined what constitutes a youth-culture phenomenon – all while in their 50s. In the 032c archive, we highlight the best pieces from over 25 years of printmaking.

The first time is always a little scary. A TV debut is nerve-wracking enough for any aspiring actor, but making that debut in a new Ryan Murphy series is a different story entirely. It’s fitting that Hayes Warner’s acting debut, in the latest Murphy series , comes with its own sense of vertigo as it toes the line between glamor and horror. , Murphy adapted the Bret Easton Ellis novel into a California gold-drenched drama about a group of polished, privileged high schoolers, one of whom is a serial killer. Hayes plays Debbie Schaffer, a doll-like rich girl in love with the secretly gay protagonist Bret. While Debbie busies herself building a porcelain-perfect empire and dreaming of becoming a dancer, her boyfriend is preoccupied with fantasies of Robert, whom he believes to be the town's serial killer.

In her teens, Lanna got her start in the fashion business at her parents’ label, Nice Things where her mother served as the creative force and her father as the head business honcho, a corporate model replicated between Lanna and her husband today.

It shouldn’t be all that hard to have a nice time in Zürich. After all, the Swiss city sits on a lake and is nestled into an idyllic Alpine landscape. I've always imagined life there to be pleasant, but also a bit stuffy. When you come from a city where people tend to draw their creativity from friction, excess, and chaos, anything that seems to convey moral restraint seems boring. But in Zürich, a river of desire flows beneath the ethos of restraint. It surfaces in the motorcycles gathered above the lake at Outlook Waid, in the bodies suspended over the Limmat, in the smoke collecting amid the industrial concrete of Escher Wyss, shadowed by the glassy austerity of Prime Tower. Zürich was built on the management of excess, not its suppression.

Terence McKenna presciently construed our zeitgeist as “so weird that people are going to have to talk about how weird it is.” While this weirdness is actively washing over our feeds and spilling into our hyperreality, Elan Alexander's (2026) investigates it straight from the eye of the storm. Condemning our era's bleakness has lost some of its discursive momentum, largely because everything unfolds simultaneously and our capacity to denounce it fails to keep pace. But let us linger for a moment on the phenomenon from which Alexander's short takes its name.

If you are ever asked to list things associated with German cultural heritage, you can look to official sources, which often recommend places such as the Aachen Cathedral, Berlin’s “Museum Island,” and buildings associated with the Bauhaus. More unofficial tips about German culture might reference its people’s habits of being on time, respecting the rule of law and order, honesty to a sometimes hurtful degree, and iconic exports such as sausages, Berghain, and, of course, Heidi Klum.

“For me, Le Mans almost feels like Burning Man for car culture, just with no drugs and debauchery, I guess. It is really a pilgrimage. People camp in tents next to their BMWs or Ferraris or Ford Fiestas next to the race track. I love sitting on the deserted grandstands at 3 AM and watching the race; the sounds get through your body like at a drone concert. It is the ultimate kinetic sound sculpture. Yet it can break at any time; the cars are pushed to the max in those 24 hours. Whether your daze derives from the scorching heat, the adrenaline rush, or the unending serpentine soundscape ceases to matter at the nonstop race in Le Mans. Established in 1923, back when Grand Prix racing reigned supreme in Europe, Le Mans has always drawn spectators to the race as much as the constellation of traditions and rituals its dominion evinced.

Lost amid a simultaneous forage for nostalgic sentiment, innovation, and the fuzzword-y , the circulation of luxury objects is at an impasse. To regain a sense of substance, consumption is often alchemized into cultural affiliation or leveraged by historic sermons that can efficiently uphold their relevance within the global market. Well-aware of this reality, we often close an eye to the processes that furnish our coveted highbrow commodities — because, in all candor, some of them are too successful in holding the fantasy untainted. One such category of objects are luxury watches. Whether it stems from earnest naïveté, novice admiration, or the impassioned confidence of an aficionado, the allure of a timepiece remains somehow inalienable. Regardless of its source, designer-duo Yoon Ahn and Verbal’s take on the Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak Concept is both an emblem of such fascination and a veto against luxury’s faltering fantasy.
