who is Jakob Kudsk Steensen and what is your vision?
Yeah, my name is Jakob Kudsk Steensen, I’m an artist. I'm from Denmark, but for the past ten years I worked in New York, and I recently moved to Berlin. In my practice, I work a lot with video game technologies, I think a lot about how to use them beyond the usual vernacular or video games. Which is very aim and level based and kind of follows like a more rational experience and design, where you have to touch or interact with things very one

Fair enough! What is your design process usually like? Or is it constantly changing?
Usually, I draw something on my phone or piece of paper, whatever comes to hand. I also outline what materials I need for and the project in my head. This is how I start with my ideas.
Obviously, every process is different, but yours sounds intricate and interesting. When it comes to designing your work what is your favourite part? What is your favourite thing about the process of design itself?

Beatrice Oettinger | Nature, The Body, And Endless Wandering
Yeah, I completely get what you mean. It sounds beautiful. I mean, I grew up in a city, so it's hard for me to kind of imagine that. But I've been in nature and it's just magical. It doesn't compare to anything else in the whole world. I completely agree. If you had one word to describe your designs, what would it be? And why?
Ah, I think the word joy? Yes, the word is joy. I think. I have no other word for that. It's joy. What is joy? Joy is something that you lose your frontier, that you get

Roadkill And Invasive Species | Is There A Sustainable Way To Eat Meat?
Around 194 million birds and 29 million mammals are thought to be killed each year on European roads, according to a new study. Where as we may look at this statistic with sadness, there are some out there who view this as an opportunity. The practice of eating roadkill isn't anything new. Nicknamed 'Roadkill cuisine', it is primarily popular in the United States and Canada.

Bin To Beauty | Upcycled Skincare Is Turning Food Trash Into Treasure
BRANDS ARE RETHINKING HOW WE VIEW FOOD WASTE
Kaffe Bueno started with one mission: to unlock coffee’s potential. The team saw the huge amounts of coffee waste thrown away each year, "around 9 billion kilos." Noomi Mikkelsen, marketing Coordinator for Kaffe Bueno tells us. They didn't just see waste, they saw an underutilised opportunity.

Biocosmetics | Biotechnology Is Changing Our Skincare | Luxiders

Your project ‘new body’ deals with your own personal self-image, what challenges did you face when working on that project?
Well, this one was a very fun one. I was trying to make something new and better for myself apply to garments. I would record people’s reactions to me walking outside wearing the outfit. It was kind of a journey. I would walk from Kings cross to Tate, and they would also let us inside the Tate Modern. But I had to say I wasn’t a mascot; this was just my style. It was funny

Susan Fang X UGG Collaboration Works To Unlock Our Playful Side
The ‘SUSAN FANG x UGG’ collaboration floated onto the runway at SUSAN FANG’s AW23 Shanghai show. The dreamy collection consists of two shoe designs, both created with Fang’s customary airy quality. In the collection, Fang’s platform shoes are vibrant and whimsical, a perfect accessory for the AW23 runway show. Feminine colours evoke a fresh, bold look, which strive away from her more delicate shoe designs. However, the romantic quality of her work is still found in the delicate flowers on each s

To shave or not to shave: why the only answer is your own
“To shave or not to shave?”: the question has been asked again and again in recent years. The conversation around body hair goes back centuries. It has been a taboo throughout time; influencing gender dynamics, symbolizing class, and defining notions of femininity and attractiveness. However, in its most recent evolution, body hair is being embraced by a growing number of young women who are turning a source of societal shame into a sign of personal strength.

Psychology of underwear: what does your lingerie say about you?
Have you ever heard of psychology of underwear? Clothing is often viewed as an extension of oneself, an outward display, or sometimes private expression of our identity. Whether we love thongs, or cotton satin underwear, we all have certain lingerie we gravitate towards, and this in turn sends a message to those we interact with.We choose clothes to protect us from the elements, to make our activities safer, or to make a statement about who we are. While social identity is directed towards an ex

How has the thong been re-centred inside the female gaze?
How has Chité re-centred the thong into the female gaze? For far too long, lingerie was designed and marketed through the male gaze. Styles for women seem stuck in the past and made with the male gaze in mind – think lacy, racy thongs or exaggerated push up bras. Women’s boxers are common but designs often lean towards resembling more traditionally ‘masculine’ underwear – there remains a tension between comfort and femininity. At Chité Milano, we’re refocusing female lingerie through the female
