#THEPOWERISSUE
June 2017

Karolina Kurkova takes on her latest role as the face of Swiss watch manufacturer IWC Schaffhausen and shares the secret to her longevity in such a fast-paced and fleeting industry.

INFLUENCE & IMAGE MAKERS. We look into the role of lensmen in forging a brand's identity by dissecting the work of Glen Luchford for Gucci, Jamie Hawkesworth for JW Anderson, and Juergen Teller for Céline.

QUIET STRENGTH. Iza Calzado gets the seemingly reserved Freida Pinto talking about everything from Hollywood diversity issues to the importance of education without discrimination.

LESS IS MORE. Hannah Theisen of Fashion Revolution shares her journey towards liberation from life's wasteful excesses through ethical fashion and mindful living.

STAYING IN CONTROL. We try some of the newest (and rather unconventional) wellness techniques from Kundalini Yoga with tailor-fit sessions per group to a hangover-killing cocktail served via intravenous drip.
