Despite the building’s location in the highly desirable Mitte district – and its status as an icon of postwar modern architecture – ‘it felt dark, cramped and full of walls’, reflects the California-raised artist Kim.
Labour’s Devastating Cuts To Disability Benefits Are A Blow To Us All

Mar 21, 2025 | vogue.co.uk | Lottie Jackson

Disability can touch anyone. Your body can betray you in an instant; your circumstances can alter in a second. The British government’s recent announcement of unprecedented cuts to disability benefits, then, is a matter of universal concern. In the biggest push for reform in recent years, the Labour Party will be trimming £5 billion from the welfare budget, a move Keir Starmer argues is necessary in order to “fix the broken benefits system” and balance the nation’s books.

Look around — whether you’re encountering broken lifts, squeezing through a sleek, narrow doorway, teetering down a dimly-lit stairway to a wine bar, or leaping up the stone steps to your front door, barriers exist everywhere for disabled people.

Oliver Lam-Watson, FencingGrowing up, Lam-Watson hated sports. Born with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome, a rare vascular condition affecting his left leg, he saw physical activity as a way of highlighting his disability - something he initially shied away from. Then, after finishing a Master’s degree in Architecture, a google search led him to pursue wheelchair fencing on a whim. Two days later he was training full time at a London fencing club.

Mainstream politics has failed to understand or prioritise disability – which, as a result, has enabled vast inequality to breed in plain sight.
