Happy Monday! The new week is here and with it comes the chance to delve deep into some fresh culture and fashion. From a tale of aimless youth culture in Mexico to the best rom-com of, well, pretty much the past decade, here’s your latest look at the i-D guide.
Watch… The Worst Person in the World
The movie that the internet can’t stop talking about. Joachim Trier’s big, euphoric, Oscar-nominated romcom, about the complexities of adulthood and relationships, is about to hit UK cinemas via MUBI. You can subscribe to MUBI here, where it will be available to stream later this year, or check out your local listings for the movie this week here.
Read… Paradais by Fernanda Melchor
Fernanda Melchor’s follow-up to the critically acclaimed Hurricane Season takes us inside a luxury housing complex in Mexico, in which two teenage boys — one a porn-obsessed overweight loner; the other a disillusioned gardener with a fractured family — come together to formulate an escape plan. Buy it physically here.
Listen to… Saya Gray
Previously a close collaborator to WILLOW and Daniel Caesar, this Japanese-Canadian musician has dropped her second track, “If There’s No Seat In The Sky (Will You Forgive Me???)” via the very cool Dirty Hit, responsible for Beabadoobee, Wolf Alice and Rina Sawayama. It’s a solo career years in the making. In the track, you can hear every moment of effort put into it. Stream it via Spotify here and give her an Instagram follow too.
Wear… Bottega Veneta swimwear
The temperature has finally crept up to the double digits in the UK, which means it’s time to sack off your shift and head to the nearest park to soak up the rays. Why not drop by a Bottega Veneta boutique on the way and revamp your swimwear wardrobe? This year is all about Baywatch red briefs for the boys and this parakeet halterneck number for the girls.
See… Martin Parr | Corbin Shaw at OOF Gallery
The legendary London photographer and the new Northern talent, both known for their homages to and artful deconstructions of football, masculinity and working class Britain, come together for a paired show at the very cool OOF Gallery in Tottenham. It’s on now, and runs until 8 May. It’s free so no excuses. More info here.
