Since 2020, Midwxst (his real name is Edgar) has been making brutally honest tracks that are sparked with fried, hyperpop beats. Sometimes they're loud, sometimes they're cocky — and at all times, they give the feeling as though you're looking in the mirror with him. Lately, though, he's been trying out a new sound. On his latest debut album, E3, he's simply doing whatever feels right for the song.

Where did you get your shirt from? Wolfgang Tillmans: This is an artwork by Juan Pablo Echeverri, the Colombian artist with whom I became close friends and who passed away last year. It's the typeface of Metallica, which is this macho, masc band, and then the word Maricona, which is an exaggeration of gay: “hyper gay”. I was reading in an interview that you did with [Slavoj] Zizek where he was talking about his resistance to the one-line autobiography, and he gave his parody of one.

Do you find the process of how you write now different from when you first started writing? Now that it has become a job for you whereas before it could simply be a cathartic release of emotions. I mean more no than yes. I think it's really easy to get in your head and read reviews or get in the brain of the readers.

Her SS24 collection consisted of a total 23 looks, all based on unique personality archetypes. From “the office flirt” to the “the publicist” to the “the podcaster” and everything in between, each model had a very important role to play whether at, or headed to, the office. Adorned with jewelry created by Martine Ali, each look exploded with a confidence that I’ve only ever seen New Yorkers bring.

You've referred to this upcoming show as your ‘Graduate Collection’. How do you think it compares to previous seasons? Over the past few collections I've been kind of developing a specific silhouette that I have for my man, and then my woman has been developing as the last collection was my first womenswear, and that was kind of an exploration in itself.

How are you? How's Paris? Paris is kind of sexy right now to be honest. I’ve been away with the tour for two months. Coming back at the beginning of summer, I felt a different vibe. Everyone is happy... Many are doing new things... Someone just opened this record store called A-1 Record. It's quite nice. It's all things I like. So many New Yorkers were there for Paris Fashion Week. Yeah. I feel like a lot of people from New York are also attracted to the Paris vibe. Did you go to any shows?

What is your ideal office? My ideal office would have to be an environment that I can learn in.
