Happy Monday! The new week is here and with it comes the chance to delve deep into some fresh culture and fashion. Here’s your latest look at the i-D Guide.
Wear… a Marc Jacobs satchel
You’ve seen those pics of Kate Moss plastered across the internet and emblazoned across buses. You know, with the hot pink hair decked out in full Marc Jacobs. In her honour, and in honour of the main man himself, it’s time to pick up a piece from the new collection. Our suggestion? One of the J Marc Chain Mini Satchels. Grab yours here.
Snag… a Loewe bunny candle
It’s the year of the rabbit, and to celebrate the arrival of the spring festival, Loewe have unveiled their cute bunny candles which are almost too precious to burn. Laced with the scent of white chocolate, rice and caramel, they’re a decadent new addition to your 2023 candle collection. Time to snuff out the old spicy candles of Christmas and light one of these instead. Buy them here.
Watch… Enys Men
Mark Jenkin’s debut feature Bait was like a strangle barnacle struck from the side of a fishing boat, discovered on the water’s surface and run through a projector: an inventive story of death and gentrification in a small seaside English village. His follow-up Enys Men is even more abstract: a horror tale about a remote Cornish island in the 70s, and a woman studying the flora upon it. But the more time she spends there, the more she starts to spiral into a state of fear and paranoia. It hits UK cinemas on Friday 13 January.
Read… Kick the Latch
Kathryn Scanlan’s new book takes the transcriptions of one woman’s life as a horse trainer and turns it into a compelling narrative about what it’s like to be consumed by a career at the racetrack. Inventive, and already named a Book of the Year by the New Yorker, it’s just been released and has racked up buzz already. Buy it here.
Listen to… Joesef
Back in 2019, we profiled Joesef ahead of the release of his first EP. Three years on, and his debut album drops this week. Titled Permanent Damage, it’s a rare thing: a transportive, moving and soulful body of work by an artist who sounds like he’ll be doing this, at this wattage, forever. It comes out on Friday, but until then listen to tracks like “Borderline” above, and follow his Instagram here.
Go to… My Heavenly Favourite
Marieke Lucas Rijneveld, the writer of the International Booker Prize-winning The Discomfort of Evening, gets his first stage adaptation with My Heavenly Favourite. Based on his sophomore book of the same name, it follows an intense, predatory affair between a 49-year-old vet and the teenage daughter of a farmer. Ivo van Hove, the famed theatre legend, is directing it, and he’s no stranger to dark and dangerous material: his other current project is the English language stage version of A Little Life. My Heavenly Favourite runs from 11 January to 2 June at the ITA in Amsterdam. Tickets here.
