‘The magic lives close to the edge’: Lorde and artist Martine Syms on the beauty of the self

2 weeks ago | documentjournal.com | Maraya Fisher

For Document's Spring/Summer 2025 issue, the musician and artist discuss 'Virgin,' finding their creative edge, and the importance of having the stones On “Mood Ring,” the third single from her 2021 album Solar Power, Lorde sings, “I can’t feel a thing / I keep lookin’ at my mood ring / Tell me how I’m feelin’ / Floatin’ away, floatin’ away.” A kernel of personal honesty behind shimmering vocals and exacting satire of wellness culture—though Lorde is not the narrator of the song, it expresses...
Inside Willo Perron’s Synesthetic Installation for Vans

1 month ago | documentjournal.com | Maraya Fisher

Posted Vans launches its Future Make platform with a psychedelic feat of light, sound, and design I’ve always envied those with synesthesia—that sensory, cognitive phenomenon that allows one to see sounds in colors or taste words. This year at Milan Design Week, the Vans immersive installation, Checkered Future: Frequency Manifest, granted this wish, if only for a few incredible moments.
María Zardoya Is No Longer Censoring Herself

Jun 14, 2024 | coveteur.com | Maraya Fisher

On the song “Echo” off The Marías’s recently-released album Submarine, María Zardoya sings, “Miss the warmth of your neck / when I knew you best / I’m yours, I’m yours,” and later, “Your cry is an echo / and I will let go of your love.” The song captures the central tension of the album: the heartbreaking push and pull of parting ways with someone you still love.
Elizaveta Porodina Finds Limitless Expression in Photography

Jun 12, 2024 | coveteur.com | Maraya Fisher

Elizaveta Porodina has shot Vogue covers; she’s photographed campaigns for brands like Armani, Dior, Jean Paul Gaultier, and recently, Orebella; and she's even released a book, Colormania, in collaboration with Carolina Herrera and the brand’s creative director Wes Gordon. But she does not think of her work as "fashion photography," and upon viewing her images, that label doesn’t feel quite accurate. Rather, the clothes and beauty are tools and context for her artistic practice.
Hollie Bowden Has Mastered the Unexpected

Jun 11, 2024 | coveteur.com | Maraya Fisher

Hollie Bowden had an epiphany during an early moment in her would-be career as a stylist. She was on set, assisting Karen Clarkson, when she realized: "I don't want to dress models. I just want to wear it all." Years later, after establishing herself as a foremost interior designer and founding a studio and adjoining gallery in Shoreditch, she has curated the kind of wardrobe most people working in fashion would sell their souls for.
I Got Zapped with a Laser, Then Covered My Face in Blood

May 1, 2024 | coveteur.com | Fani Mari |Camille Freestone |Seth Jubb |Maraya Fisher

As a beauty editor, I’m lucky to have countless products make their way to my desk, but let’s be real—there’s only so much creams and serums can do for your skin. That’s why, every so often, I pay my dermatologist a visit to discuss if there are any new treatments I should consider. And this time, the treatment in question was a unique combination: a pico laser and a “vampire facial” (a.k.a. PRP or PRF).
This Japanese Hair Stylist Pairs His Vintage Skirts with Telfar Hoodies and Balenciaga Platform Boots

May 1, 2024 | coveteur.com | Camille Freestone |Seth Jubb |Maraya Fisher |Sarah Kiernan

Hair stylist Shingo Shibata has a very distinct beauty “uniform”: a shaved head and no eyebrows. In his closet, there’s no semblance of that regimented routine. How does he organize this amalgamation of tangerine puffer jackets, Yohji Yamamoto outerwear, and platform boots? “I don’t,” he says. Within his Tokyo apartment, a confluence of color beckons from a silver hanging rack. Perfectly warped denim contrasts the traditionally blanched walls and wood beams.

Harmony’s New Single “Thot Daughter” is for the Devastatingly Online

Apr 30, 2024 | coveteur.com | Maraya Fisher |Sarah Kiernan |Andie Eisen |Paige Kowal

“People’s princess,” “coquette,” “brainrot,” “girlboss”—these are just a few of the internet buzzwords Harmony Tividad cleverly recontextualizes in her new single “Thot Daughter.” The song is a thumping banger delivered with a dissociative pout, highlighting the absurdity of internet culture by using the lexicon and affect it’s spawned.
The Dare’s Coachella Playlist

Apr 12, 2024 | coveteur.com | Maraya Fisher |Brinley Knopf |Nicole Kliest |Seth Jubb

This is the first year since Obama was president that I will have Coachella fomo. Maybe it’s the current cultural obsession with 2014, the year I saw Neutral Milk Hotel play right before Lana Del Rey—the 30-year-old NMH fans making snide comments about the flower-crowned teens waiting for their queen as they fled the area after the final theremin flourish. That same year, Debbie Harry crashed the Arcade Fire set to sing a mash-up of "Heart of Glass" and "Sprawl II" (I sobbed).
