WORDS RACHEL EDWARDS Last night the sky was lit up with fireworks, and if there’s one thing about a firework, it’s that it demands to be seen. It makes sense then that today, singer-songwriter Allegra  releases her brand new EP. Out now via Radikal Records, the five-track EP marks her most confident era yet.

WORDS ROB CORSINI In Iran's Zagros Mountains, gabbeh rugs are woven by Kurdish, Luri, and Qashqai women. These rugs are made from Iran's organic materials - the colours formed from dyes made from the area’s flowers.

WORDS RACHEL EDWARDS In London, they say you’re never more than six feet away from a rat. In the same vein, you’re probably never more than six feet away from a woman with a contraception horror story.
