The Real Wild West

Anouk Masson Krantz has managed something only few outsiders have: she was invited into the world of the cowboy. We spoke with the French photographer about her experience – and of course present some of her extraordinary pictures.

Tim Bendzko – Exclusive Fashion Shoot

Even as a child, Tim Bendzko knew he wanted to be a singer. He wrote his first songs at the age of sixteen – and today he is a star in the German music scene. That sounded so straightforward that we invited him to do an unconventional fashion shoot with us – and spoke with him about art and chaos.

“I actually have this incredible energy in me that hasn’t been exhausted yet. I really like to move around a lot, which is a need that probably not many people have.”

Tim Bendzko

Terry O’Neill and the Stars

British photographer Terry O’Neill created a photographic monument to the celebrities he photographed and at the same time captured history in the making – in part simply because he liked people. With the possible exception of Steve McQueen.

Celebrity portrait: Guy Ritchie

Guy Ritchie’s gangster comedy Snatch made him famous overnight. Then people worried he was running out of ideas. But the English director went to Hollywood and has been making successful films ever since, most recently Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre. Which just goes to show how wrong you can be.

Dan Auerbach founded The Black Keys, has a studio in Nashville, his own label, two ex-wives and a friend who is no longer alive. In other words, it was a special interview.

A Meeting in New York with Ducati’s Design Director, Andrea Ferraresi

At the launch of the new Diavel V4, we met with Ducati Centro Stile Director Andrea Ferraresi to talk about details, important moments – and the sorts of problems that can come up when you design a new key.

Super Nerd Toan Nguyen

With his inspirations and ideas, Toan Nguyen is changing the world of marketing. We spoke with the founder of Jung von Matt NERD about subcultures and the CUPRA brand. We also wanted to know how he explains what exactly he does. And it wasn’t as easy as you might expect.
