Get ready for one of the most downright-sadistic and warped impersonations of James Franco.
After releasing their debut music video ‘RAGS‘ directed by GORSAD who recently signed Ariel Pink’s ‘Time To Live‘ video, GOTHKING are back with a brand new video for their single ‘JAMES FRANCO’ directed by Brice Krummenacker and Fanny Schlichter. I don’t think even the best scientists could figure out what goes on in the directors’ mind. It shows the beauty in a demented life. Claustrophobic yet anarchic.
Anticipating their self-released debut EP ‘IN GOTH WE TRUST’ to drop by the end of this month, the Paris/London based trio establishes their very indiscriminate approach to music by exploring the boundaries of the genre both sonically and visually. The stylised visuals full of shishas, underground parking, and sneakers features not only several up and coming brands such as Neith Nyer, Token, OBERKAMPF, Vinti Andrews, Pawaka, Diana Law but also more established VANS, ALYX Studio, Lacoste, Adidas, and Nike.

PUMA’s Talon sneaker, first launched in 2004, is a relic from a specific time. It’s a shoe pulled from the archive, but its new collaboration with NO/FAITH Studios is about more than just nostalgia.
This season confirms SHOOP’s design approach. It draws from the everyday and reinterprets it through a poetic, modern lens, creating a language that joins the functional with the emotional.
Turn the page. Breathe deep. Your pupils are already dilating. The high is coming.
Issue 26 brings together two electrifying covers that take the dopamine dive from Sadiq Desh captured by Cris Cerdeira to multidisciplinary visual artist and photographer Tomás Pintos’ cover story, Besos hasta agotar stock (Kisses Until Sold Out), developed from the live performance creating a space where glamour
meets exhaustion.
