The MaMA Festival is like the Parisian version of the SXSW festival. From October 13th to 15th, the north of Paris welcomes in 8 venues 80 shows, and 3 partying nights full of discoveries! This event will give the chance to agencies, labels, publishing or management companies to have their artists wherever they come from to play in front of an international audience of music professionals, media, and Parisian festival-goers. Here are three artists you need to check!
Annael was born in Brazzaville and grew up between Congo, Moscow and Paris. He thrives in music as a singer, songwriter and beatmaker. At the age of 10, Annael returned to school with two options: music and dance. He developed his musical ear and rhythm there, where he learned different types of dance. He recently released his new single “Regards Volés” and it’s a deep late 90’s R’n’B electronic banger.
Probably the most atypical artist on the lineup of the festival. French Multidisciplinary artist Joseph Schiano di Lombo trained as a pianist and a graduate of the Arts Décoratifs de Paris. Joseph is defined as an unclassifiable artist, playing with all kinds of games using a wide variety of practices in his work, from drawing to music and writing. His latest album “Musique de Niche” might be the perfect love letter for his dog’s admiration.
Sexy and feverish, Franky Gogo’s music draws new geography on the ruins of the old world: the bodies are mutant, the borders submersible. Here, desire rules as listening to Gogo is experiencing a disruption of all the senses, an erotic and martial hand-to-hand with the world as it is: violent. Mixing the codes, Franky Gogo has multiple identities and their music is resolutely queer.
LOEWE and On present their Fall/Winter 2025 collaboration, featuring the first model they have designed together: the limited-edition Cloudsolo sneaker.
A$AP Rocky and PUMA have released their latest and largest collection. The new line finds its inspiration in the Harlem jazz renaissance, mixing that era’s energy with modern streetwear.
With this collection, Ludovic de Saint Sernin crowns a new aristocracy. In this world, elegance is a form of liberation, sensuality is power, and the ultimate luxury is belonging.
Maison Kitsuné presents its SS26 collection, titled Voyage Vestiaire. This season marks the debut of the house’s new Creative Director, Abigail Smiley-Smith.
Alessandro Michele unveils his Valentino SS26 collection, “Fireflies,” a sartorial manifesto inspired by Pier Paolo Pasolini’s writings on finding light and desire in the dark.
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.
