Photographer Boris Edrosa, collaborating with stylist Mellonie Yasmina, found inspiration to create "Dual," a fashion story that explores the dynamic energy shared between two individuals. Central to this concept were models Chioma (First) and Irene (Titanium Model Management), who skillfully conveyed a spectrum of emotions ranging from tenderness and conflict to love and independence. Their performances, intricately captured through styling, makeup, hair, and lighting, elevate the project, offering a poignant reflection on the multifaceted nature of human connections.

Yet, stepping into the Grade II–listed corner building on Westbourne Grove, I felt instantly cosy and settled. The restau

THEY TALK WHEN YOU LEAVE: LAYERED

BY DANNI SPOONER - PHOTOGRAPHY + EDIT CHERRY AU LAYERED was created in memory of Leia — a space built to hold trans and non-binary creativity with patience, care, and room to breathe. Some stories arrive fully formed; others need time. This piece lives in that in-between — made years ago, carried quietly, and shared only when the artist was ready. Danni Spooner’s photographic series they talk when you leave is deeply layered, both in form and in feeling. Shot in 2022 — befo
