It was 5am on a Saturday morning and Chris, 19, a fashion student dressed in a long coat and a face mask, had arrived at a quiet street in Haggerston, East London. This wasn’t an afterparty – it was the location of the Wales Bonner archive sale. With the doors opening at 10am, Chris wanted to get in first: he was after a pair of Jewel sneakers for considerably less than their £595 retail price. He soon wasn’t alone in the pre-dawn dark.

Taken from the new print issue of THE FACE. Get your copy here. London is chock-full of Good Art. Old institutions housing Renaissance greats circle Soho.

On a cold Tuesday night in November, the eccentric crowd inside London’s Corsica Studios is partying like it’s 2007. The word “SEX” has been etched into a piece of sequined fabric in the venue’s hallway, where a group in their late teens are taking flash selfies with an old digital camera. Everyone in the crowd is aged 19 or 36, with seemingly no in-between, and the more seasoned among them are ordering vodka Red Bulls as if they’ve not got work tomorrow.

When London photographer Charlie Kwai started working on Magnetite last year, he knew it’d probably amount to a substantial body of work. “I always have it in my mind that I’m not gonna get into something unless the journey is going to lead to something good,” he says over the phone from Kent, where he’s just travelled to spend the weekend with his daughter.

On a dry summer morning in Stoke Newington, East London, a winding queue has formed outside the area’s local Londis N16 – a corner shop which, run by the Patel family since 1979, has become a lively neighbourhood hotspot serving up much more than booze, Lost Mary’s and household essentials you might find at any given offie in the UK.
