AT THE NEWSSTAND

Kim Gordon on the cover of the new issue of Purple (but ours is better…).

The Sleeping Beauty

The series Sleeping Boy by photographer/film maker Ada Biligaard Søby is reminiscent of the old tradition of odalisque paintings. Nevertheless, this time, rather than the exotic female, the white male is captured in his private space where our presence as the voyeur is not evinced.

FROZEN WAVES

Stay Wild magazine posted these stunning wave pictures by Jonathan Nimerfroh. They got solidly frozen while performing their perfect shape…just incredible.

mono.ride

Oh yes, the new data-enhanced Rapha Pro collection looks like a crooked mono.kultur logo in motion. And in case you don’t care about riding, you can also sit, of course. Or take the train, tonight.
