SLEEPING BEAUTIES: Alina Kossan rediscovers Plein Sud Words by Alina Kossan Berlin-based creator Alina Kossan has long been on our radar, always turning up at events in looks that make us wonder: Where did she find that? The answer is often vintage. Alina has a real talent for tracking down forgotten labels and pieces most of us wouldn’t even know to search for. In her new biweekly column SLEEPING BEAUTIES, she shares the brands she’s rediscovering on Vinted and beyond – names that once had a major fashion moment, disappeared from view, and are now ready for another one. This time: Plein Sud.
A New Chapter: In Conversation with CHARLOTTE CARDIN Words by Nicole Atieno Prior to her SWR3 New Pop Festival performance, we had a chat with Canadian pop sensation Charlotte Cardin, the voice behind hits like Feel Good, Confetti and Meaningless, as she gets ready to make her first appearance in Germany. With her highly anticipated third album on the horizon and a new era already taking shape through songs like Tant Pis Pour Elle and The Way We Touch, Charlotte is stepping into a new chapter. We talked about the parts of herself she’s had to unlearn, what she knows now that she didn’t when Phoenix came out, the women inspiring her right now, and what it means to bring her music to the SWR3 New Pop stage.

Pick Of The Week: Saint Laurent’s Mombasa bag Words by Nicole Atieno First appearing for Spring/Summer 2002, the slouchy crescent bag came with its sculptural horn handle and a certain touch that made it an object of desire. Then, it slowly made its way into wardrobes and the memories of those who had carried it the first time around.

Reading the Body: How WHOOP Is Rethinking Women’s Health Words by Helena Alge By connecting cycle insights with data on sleep, stress, recovery and training, WHOOP is helping women understand their health beyond fertility alone.
Taking Fun Seriously: In Conversation with MARIA MAGDALENA Words by Helena Alge, Photography by Jan Kapitän MARIA MAGDALENA began where many good ideas do: between friends, in an apartment, with the music turned up. What started as Sophie and Dasha imagining the songs they loved outside the limits of genre soon took them behind the decks at Watergate and into Berlin’s evolving club scene. Moving between French electro, bloghouse, techno, indie and pop, the duo turns shared nostalgia into something distinctly contemporary. But at the centre of MARIA MAGDALENA is not a particular sound or aesthetic. It is the friendship that shapes both. For Fräulein, Sophie and Dasha speak about their first night behind the decks, the pressure of visibility, and the beauty of connecting with the dancefloor.
Inside the first Fräulein x SJMT Kickboxing Class Words by Thiên Ân Therese Kunz, Photography by Eva Luise Hoppe Sport has always been associated with effort, strength and discipline. But we are also aware that sport can do more than just make us physically strong and help us build muscle; above all, it gives us inner strength. In martial arts in particular, there is a strong focus on your soul – a balance between external and internal strength. What exactly does inner strength mean? How can sport help us to feel confident and comfortable in our own bodies and to find peace of mind? How can it help us to feel confident and courageous?
