Tim Walker’s new exhibition at London’s National Portrait Gallery opened on October 9 and brings together 250 portraits spanning more than five decades of queer history in the UK. In the gallery’s rooms, Lady Gaga, Chappell Roan, and Frank Ocean share the space with activists, workers, and figures from London’s underground scene. There is no timeline to follow: the images connect different eras and experiences, telling a collective story that goes far beyond its best-known names.

True to Walker’s theatrical imagination, the photographs unfold like scenes suspended between reality and fantasy, created in collaboration with set designer Shona Heath. The exhibition moves from the irreverence of the Rebel Dykes collective to drag culture and references to classic fairy tales, bringing together beauty and the stories of resistance woven throughout the images. Here, fantasy doesn’t disguise reality; it allows us to see it from a different perspective. The exhibition remains open…

Robert Wun takes his dramatic visual language from the runway to the stage with Shared Rain, a piece presented at the New York City Ballet’s Fall Fashion Gala 2026. For the collaboration, the London-based designer created midnight-blue bodysuits embellished with Swarovski crystals, alongside geometric headpieces shaped like six-pointed umbrellas, developed with support from Senz.

The production marks the first commission for both Wun and choreographer Jennifer Archibald at NYCB. Her work explores how the human body responds to the force of a storm, with climate change as its backdrop. Drawing on the umbrellas that featured prominently in one of Wun’s haute couture collections, the choreography transforms them into an extension of the dancers’ physical language.

Set to immersive music and met with a standing ovation at Lincoln Center, Shared Rain brings fashion, dance, and environmental reflection together on a single stage. The piece is part of the Contemporary Choreography I…

Five years after his last complete collection, Gabriel Hendifar returns with ACT V: AFSANEH, a new furniture and lighting collection inspired by his Persian roots. The name, meaning “fable” in Persian, is also a tribute to his mother.

The collection transforms everyday pieces into objects with a fantastical quality. Among them is Rahvi, a cast-brass light inspired by a mythical serpent and adorned with rings of semiprecious stones, alongside the lacquered Esfand lamps and Gol fiberglass pendants.

Originally presented in New York as the starting point for its international rollout toward London, ACT V: AFSANEH reaffirms Apparatus’ ability to turn lighting into sculptural pieces capable of transforming a space.

Apparatus convierte el diseño en una fábula

Ricollin Moodley brings his signature technique to Rhode, using the brand’s makeup products to create a painting that shows just how far beauty can go as an artistic medium.

Moodley began experimenting with discarded cosmetics when he couldn’t afford traditional art supplies. Since then, he has turned lipstick and other beauty products into his signature medium, even developing his own sealant to preserve his work.

From the makeup bag to the canvas: beauty wants to be art, too.

The artist who turned polka dots, mirrors, and her own visions into a universal language.

Yayoi Kusama, one of the most radical and influential figures in contemporary art, died at the age of 97 at a hospital in Tokyo on August 14. The news was publicly confirmed on August 27 in Japan by her representative studios and the Yayoi Kusama Museum.

For more than seven decades, Kusama transformed her inner world into an unmistakable body of work. Polka dots, infinite nets, pumpkins, and mirrored rooms became a visual signature that transcended museums to become one of the most recognizable languages in contemporary culture.

Now, the art world bids farewell to a creator who transformed her own visions into a universal language. Kusama did not paint infinity to represent it: she built spaces for us to step inside it. And although her brush has finally come to a stop, her dots…
