Photography by Sophie Dunlap The muse is missing. Designers are trying to keep up with the new digital wave while boring us at the same time. The algorithm pushes aesthetics fast enough to not let anyone stand out. Everything is trending. All the time.

We scroll through thousands of interchangeable “It-girls” who all own the same chunky resin bangles and lightweight transparent pon

In January of 1917, a group of young artists; actors, poets, and painters climbed the Washington Square Arch in the dead of night, to declare secession from the nation, and to proclaim the neighborhood as the “Free and Independent Republic of Greenwich Village”. The artists, or Arch Conspirators , as they would become known as, released balloons and shot cap guns off the top of the monument, a moment considered to be foundational for Greenwich’s status as the artist capital o

Ways We Wear

Art by Chassidy Stephenson A few days into moving to New York, I found myself walking around lower Manhattan in search of something I could tack, or tape, on the naked walls in my apartment.

Art by Sasha Lerman Mohawks, studded leather jackets, and plaid, loud music on stage, smoking outside, moshing, initials carved into bathroom stalls. That’s what you can expect at a Punk show, though that only describes what happens on the surface.
