A love letter to a city made in moving images. Los Angeles is gearing up for one of the most exciting exhibitions in a generation. A true temporary contemporary museum, Berlin- based institution @juliastoschekfoundation is landing in the city of dreams and taking over an entire building DTLA for its time based programming of short films, silent film and moving images. Dozens of artists across multiple floors. Must see. Must not miss. Visit jsf.la for early access. We did. You should. Chris Burden, Poem For LA, 1975 #chrisburden #juliastoschekcollection #cinema #silentfilm

Paul Thomas Anderson’s @goldenglobes award sweep and win for Best Screenplay and Best Director not only asserts the fact that he is the most prescient director of his time, but also that revolution is thick in the air. All his movies capture the zeitgeist, but One Battle After Another, which he started writing the seeds of in the late 1990s carries a rare pulse in the midst of global protests, at home and abroad.

In our FW25 Work In Progress issue we took a pivot into the world of professional racecar driving with a focus on two female drivers: @lynstjames and @zoebarryracing . Now retired, Lyn St. James set astonishing precedents on the track: the first woman to exceed 200 miles an hour on a closed oval, and the first to win an endurance race solo. The sport nearly killed her. In 1986 at Riverside Raceway, another driver triggered a crash that launched her Ford Probe into the air and onto its roof, erupting into a fireball with St. James trapped inside. She escaped—miraculously—without a scratch. In an in-depth conversation, Lyn and Barry discuss the challenges of racing in a sport where women are the outliers. #lynstjames #zoebarry #racecar #motorsport #racing #cars

Great book intros remain indelible. Luke Goebel’s incendiary new novel begins with a great description of the Santa Ana winds that one year ago today fueled two of the largest fires in Los Angeles history. Since then, the grift, the corruption, the fraud, the cover up to steal land and obscure blame has been the modus operandi for a city that operates in the shadowy caddy corners of morality. Kill Dick follows in the great tradition of sunshine noir—murder, ambition, intrigue, but with a distinctly contemporary flavor in our era of opioids and attentional economies. And Goebel’s pretty little rich girls are almost too real. The book comes out April 2026 on @redhenpress #lukegoebel #fire #losangeles #santaana

For Autre’s FW25 Work In Progress issue, we partnered with @laeyeworks to produce a series of wide-ranging interviews with @caltechedu scientists working at the frontiers of contemporary space exploration. From the moons of Jupiter and the icy Kuiper Belt to the event horizons of distant black holes and colliding galaxies light-years away, space is the place where our understanding of the universe—and ourselves—collides in spectacular wonder. Mike E. Brown is Richard and Barbara Rosenberg Professor of Planetary Astronomy at Caltech. He has discovered dozens of dwarf planets (and demoted Pluto from planet to dwarf planet), and is currently hot on the trail of Planet Nine—a hypothesized body that is possibly the fifth largest planet of our solar system. Cameron Hummels is a research scientist and Director of Astrophysics at Caltech. He is an expert in galaxies and the processes that dictate their formation and evolution over cosmic time including star formation, supernova, and black holes. Katherine de Kleer is Assistant Professor of Planetary Science and Astronomy at Caltech. She is interested in dynamic planetary processes and how they relate to the surface environments, atmosphere, and thermochemical histories of planets and satellites. All scientists wear l.a.Eyeworks Interviews by @summer.bowie Photographs by @damienmaloney #spaceistheplace #blackhole #space #galaxy #kuiperbelt #telescope #caltech #laeyeworks

To better understand petro-imperialist ambitions in Venezuela—and the environmental devastation they leave behind—we revisit our interview with human rights lawyer Steven Donziger from our FW24 Citizen issue (🔗 in bio). Donziger’s lawsuit, filed on behalf of Amazonian Indigenous communities, targeted Chevron (formerly Texaco) for dumping more than 16 million gallons of toxic wastewater into the Ecuadorian rainforest—an environmental catastrophe thirty times larger than the Exxon Valdez spill. The contamination poisoned rivers, farmland, and drinking water, triggering a brutal wave of cancers, miscarriages, and birth defects across the region. The case ultimately resulted in the largest damages judgment ever awarded in an environmental lawsuit. Venezuela’s entanglement with foreign oil interests has long been shaped by resistance as much as extraction. In the 1970s, following decades of domination by U.S. and European oil companies, the Venezuelan state moved to reclaim sovereignty over its natural resources, nationalizing its oil industry in 1976 and forming Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA). The move was intended to curb foreign exploitation and redirect oil wealth toward national development—an assertion of independence that directly challenged U.S. petro-capital interests. Nearly fifty years later, that struggle persists in a different form. Today, Chevron is the only U.S. oil company operating in Venezuela under a special U.S. government license, granted amid sanctions and geopolitical negotiations. Its presence underscores the cyclical nature of petro-imperialism: even after nationalization, foreign oil power continues to re-enter through exceptions, loopholes, and crises—often with environmental and human costs that echo the past.

“If you can make a critic cry, you’re doing well.” Nan Goldin in conversation with editor-in-chief Oliver Kupper for Autre FW20.

Sustainability has become a corporate trope, a well-worn mindset, a broken promise. In Autre’s FW25 Work In Progress issue, fashion editor @camilleangepailler has organized a critical round table discussion on the state of sustainable fashion with three independent designers: @loudebetoly @kostasmurkudisarchive and @juliekegels Photographer Timothy Schaumburg @timothyschaumburg Fashion Editor Camille Ange Pailler @camilleangpailler Production Gabrielle Cox @gabs__production Casting Olga Sikorska @olgy_call_me Model Lotte @lemanagement Hair Kosuke Ikeuchi kosuke_ikeuchi @shotview_managementMakeup Lee Hyangsoon @leehyangsoon__ Photo Assistant Kristina Weinhold @kristinaweinhold Stylist Assistant Nadine Sahm @nads.studio Retouch Color Workz @colorworkz Special thanks to @yellownosestudio #greenswashing #sustainability #fashion #sustainablefashion

New acquisitions. Just before Christmas, we received what looked like an impeccably official package from @sothebys. Maybe an invite. Holiday surprise deliveries from luxury brands aren’t unusual. On closer inspection, it was an editioned artwork by our favorite LA vandal, Zachary Fernandez (@jesushands - best known for turning the Hollywood sign into Hollyweed in 2017). The timing feels prescient. As much of the art world falters, Sotheby’s sales continue to rise, quietly consolidating power. The auction paddle becomes a symbol of control and spectacle—consensual, calibrated, and a little sadomasochistic. #sothebys #auctionhouse #paddle #art
