Nina Hoss Doesn’t Need Answers Words by Ann-Kathrin Riedl It feels fitting, that for an issue centered around being at peace, we speak with someone who not only belongs to the most important actresses of her generation, but also seems to embody that very state. From her breakout in "The Girl Rosemarie" to projects like "HEDDA", "Die andere Seite", and her upcoming stage work "ELECTRA/PERSONA" alongside Cate Blanchett in London, Nina has built a career defined by depth rather than certainty. In a world obsessed with answers, she remains committed to something else: asking the right questions.
“It could be anyone, so why not you?“ – How Namasenda restored the hope in my dreams Words by Leonie Kampen I am meeting Namasenda during the crushing heatwave in Berlin, one day before her show. We sit down in one of the outdoor cafés close to KaDeWe and, while attempting to save an overheated bumblebee from our table, we discuss everything from her upbringing in Sweden to the new album “Limbo” and her visions for the future. For the Swedish singer and songwriter, there was never any other option but music.
Fashion Editorial: Zarah Kofler – between self and character Words by Helena Alge On stage, Zarah Kofler can be a king, a drug baroness, or anyone in between. For her, acting is a space where language, status, and identity can be tried on, discarded, and reinvented. We spoke about finding freedom through performance, navigating change, and the experiences that continue to shape her as an artist.
Berlin Fashion Week SS27: The Collections That Stayed With Us Words by Helena Alge Berlin Fashion Week once again proved that some of its strongest voices aren't necessarily the loudest. Rather than chasing spectacle, many designers focused on storytelling, building collections shaped by memory, identity, history and transformation. From intimate coming of age narratives to forgotten chapters of Berlin's fashion past, this season felt deeply personal while reflecting broader cultural conversations. These are the collections that stood out to us and continued to resonate long after the final look left the runway.

Nina Hagen: “I hate being put in a box. It’s always so cramped there” Words by Thomas Clausen Whether in the spotlight or beyond, Nina Hagen has continually challenged norms in music, media, and society, cementing her reputation as one of her generation’s most unpredictable and outspoken voices.

Too Much, On Purpose: Inside the world of Sam Quealy Words by Ann-Kathrin Riedl Sam Quealy is not someone you forget easily. Not after seeing her on stage – and certainly not after stepping into the world she creates. The Australian-born, Paris-based artist moves somewhere between club kid, pop performer and conceptual provocateur. Trained as a dancer before turning to music, her work has always been rooted in the body first – in movement, energy, presence. Her sound between pop and techno is inseparable from the way she performs it: physical, exaggerated, deliberately over the top.
