2 weeks ago | tobemagazine.com.au | George Howarth |Ryan Delaney |Jonah Orbach |Hugh Barton

“Ferals […] raise hackles. They transgress our fences, our ways of thinking. . .” Fiona Probyn-RapseyHumans cannot control the feral. Ferality is a subversive force that burrows beneath boundaries, denies signification and refuses to be fenced in by categorisation. The anarchic potential of ferality is a central preoccupation in contemporary feminist theory and praxis.

3 weeks ago | tobemagazine.com.au | Hugh Barton |Amelia Szabo |a French Monastery

Duckwrth (real name Jared Leonardo Lee) is an American rapper and singer whose sonic influences span from emo to hip-hop. His bold self-styled aesthetic is firmly footed in the fashion world, having featured in campaigns for the likes of Loewe, Camper and adidas. He is also no stranger to the runway pews at major fashion weeks. His new album, All American F*ckboy, is an exploration of reckless desire and self-destructive impulses and the painful journey to self-love.
Golden Plains, Experience Positive

1 month ago | tobemagazine.com.au | Ella Katz |Val Dechev |Aaron Weinberg

While the quasi-apocalyptic state of the festival industry looms, Golden Plains, the younger sibling of cult favourite Meredith, continues to inspire madness among its acolytes. If the manic desperation of ticket-begging and soul-bargaining on its Facebook group is anything to go off, the two-day festival is a fortuitous event that marks the Labour Day weekend. From alt-rock darlings to electrified weirdos—Golden Plains has it all.

Paris, Texas at Schiaparelli

1 month ago | tobemagazine.com.au | Carwyn Mcintyre |Lola Mccaughey |Briony Wright

In 1952, Elsa Schiaparelli ventured to Fiera de Santana in Brazil, where she described being “dressed in a cowboy outfit embroidered with white butterflies... in [her] hands held a lasso to catch an invisible cow!” Shortly after the cattle drive, the Vaquieros, or cowboys, rode with Schiaparelli back to the corral. It was here that she was awarded the ‘Order of the Vaquieros,’ something she likened to a primitive rite. Why the cowboy discussion?

Prada Covers Up

0 $0.00 0 items At the mark of a quarter-century, Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons negotiate what beauty and femininity mean at Prada. If we were to take a sweeping survey of the Western beauty ideal and the concept of the feminine, it would include a surgical menu of procedures and modifications.
Ok Computer: Rebooting Couture at Viktor & Rolf

2 months ago | tobemagazine.com.au | Alison Kubler |Grace Sandles |Rahemma Azwar |Carwyn Mcintyre

It was Karl Lagerfeld, creative director of Chanel for thirty-six years, who quipped that he designed in a manner of a computer, his methods like an Intel processor extraordinaire, as if he was ‘plugged into’ Chanel mode. Lagerfeld’s codifying of Chanel informed Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren’s designs for their Viktor & Rolf couture show. The pair mused that artificial intelligence could reinterpret the house’s archive, namely their use of bows and frills, trims, and notions.

This season continues that trend, featuring cozy knits and minimalistic pants as the core pieces.

0 $0.00 0 items Set in an industrial garage lined with Filson posters, Junya Watanabe’s menswear show opened with a nod to tradition: hunting jackets, blue-striped shirts, and a beige wide-brimmed fedora that was rugged yet formal. This restraint didn’t last long. Watanabe’s signature subversive tailoring emerged, dismantling American staples with patchwork and jolts of unexpected colour.
