Lana Del Rey In LA at the End of the World…

Hi dolls! We hope you’re having a great week, because we certainly are: we’re coming in hot to your inbox with an absolute stack of content and we can’t wait to share it with you.

From musings on Lana Del Rey’s relationship to LA in a must-read essay, to an editorial from groundbreaking designer Sinéad O’Dwyer – via an interview with THE David Hoyle, and a consideration of pro-Palestine protest and solidarity through the lens of Audre Lorde (plus way more), there’s so much to get through that it’s about time we got into it!
