EDITOR’S LETTER
EXTREME SUSTENANCE • The creatives behind this issue on the things that feed them.
HANNAH WICK • Good taste or bad taste? As far as cover model Hannah Wick is concerned, the choice is simple. Both. Taste, she believes, is in the eye of the beholder, and frankly, what’s the point in doing this thing called life without a few daring moments for the history books along the way? Faux fur hats and bright colours a non-negotiable, of course. A favourite of Maria Grazia Chiuri and a familiar face on the runways of JW Anderson, Jil Sander and Altuzurra, Wick is moving fast, and that’s exactly how she likes it. Coming along for the ride? The playlist has already been set. Kelela’s debut mixtape, Cut 4 Me on repeat the whole way, baby.

FROM THE DARKROOM TO THE KITCHEN • A photographer’s darkroom and a chef’s kitchen are not so wildly different. In both spaces, a meticulous, delicate approach is crucial – each step of the process becoming instrumental to the success of the next. It leads us to ask, what dish could be so good that one would be both willing to capture – and eat it? The Photographer’s Cookbook is a time capsule of untouched recipes and accompanying snapshots collated over years and shared for the first time. Published 40 years after its inception, it offers a fascinating look at food, family, and home; taking readers behind the camera and into the hearts, and stomachs of some of photography’s most important practitioners.
