IMMORTAL FLAME

As Jack Handey famously wrote in his book Deep Thoughts: “One thing vampire children are taught is, never run with a wooden stake.” But jokes aside, our editorial for the final 2022 theme, FULL OF DESIRE, is here. We searched far and deep for the epitome of passion, quintessence of insatiable hunger, and undying lust. And who embodies everlasting, immortal cravings better than vampires? Have fun browsing, our little children of the night.

I am not your Dracula spectacular

This is not your weekend in Vegas

This is not your selfie obscura

I am not your tour guide of Paris

No vampires remain in Romania

No vampires remain in Romania

Don’t walk alone in Transylvania

No vampires remain in Romania

This is not West Hollywood on Thursday

I am not your objet d’art

I am not your sepia heyday

This is not the moment we part

No vampires remain in Romania

No vampires remain in Romania

Don’t donate blood in Transylvania

No vampires remain in Romania

I am not your pop starlet saviour

This is not your reference du jour

This is not your sanctioned behaviour

I am not the disease or the cure

No vampires remain in Romania

No vampires remain in Romania

Don’t sing this song in Transylvania

No vampires remain in Romania

Lyrics taken from King Luan’s song ‘No Vampires Remain in Romania

“In video games, nothing interested me more than character creation.” Since Polish fashion designer Maja Bączyńska founded her eponymous label, she's been gracing the world with her sometimes sleek, most of the time maximal and opulent silhouettes. In the interview, Bączyńska sheds light on her playful pieces featuring frilly and sculptural textures, unexpected twists and reference layers, and clever and uncompromising tailoring.
Mikhail Ermakov and Dahlia Kurmanguzhina, the self-titled “digital fetish artist couple”, are relationship goals in more ways than one. In the interview below, the duo talks about the organic mutuality and reciprocity of their creative processes, the touchingly introspective and respectful way of co-creating that was cultivated with immense care, Slavic folklore, and more. Get lost in their shiny, alluring, and squeaky world.
“Complexity isn’t always necessary for impactful design.” Being a Swiss citizen of Vietnamese descent, Duc Siegenthaler has been navigating the ebb and flow of blending in and standing out since childhood. SWARM Mag interviewed the founder and Creative Director of the Siegenthaler label about avoiding reducing modularity to “a gimmick”, constant self-discovery, indulging in play, and more.
Mossy, mouldy, earthy – all these adjectives give you a very rough outline of the garments the Copenhagen-based Solitude Studios craft and sometimes even grow and ferment. Their A/W23 collection, Wood Wide Web, hints at the recently popularised notion of “mycorrhizal internet”, the sprawling matrix of mycelium that connects fungi and various members of the plant kingdom, ferrying nutrients and other kinds of “information”.
