ELASTICATED pushes far beyond the final product of a figure skater, the final product is most often presented to us through grace, beauty and decorum. The reality of the process and what it takes to become this ideal is rarely documented - the gruelling training it takes to become not only a strong athlete but one that can make their sport and performance appear beautiful and effortless. The narrative of this editorial asks 'what's behind the costume of a figure skater?'

NAVA EXPLORES EXILE, PROTEST, AND PERSONAL HISTORY ON ‘GABBEH’

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. For NAVA , these rugs represent a connection that these women have to their roots - which is why she chose to name her new album after the rugs. Now NAVA creates music in exile. She is no longer able to safely travel back to Iran after she spoke out in support o

A GUIDE TO BEATING BURNOUT

WORDS RACHEL EDWARDS Every week, if not every day, somebody tells me they are burnt out. And if someone's not telling me that they are, then I'm telling someone that I am. If you live in London it feels like a rite of passage, like getting on the Victoria line or complaining about the weather. I try to ignore the side of my brain that tells me that burn out is a normal part of forging a creative career. Friends tell me they don't ever really log out - they check emails at t

FOR SPORTS IT'S ALL ABOUT FRIENDSHIP AND LOVE

WORDS ROB CORSINI If you were asked to name America’s musical hubs – you’d probably say New York, Los Angeles, Nashville – maybe New Orleans or Memphis. One name that might not necessarily spring to mind is Tulsa, Oklahoma – but that’s where dream-pop duo Sports have been creating music for the last decade. For Christian Theriot and Cale Chronister, Sports isn’t just an outlet for their creativity – but the culmination of a lifelong relationship. The pair first found each

KARIN ANN ON MUSIC, SELF-EXPRESSION, AND FINDING HER COMMUNITY

WORDS BETH CUTTING Karin Ann isn’t your typical pop artist. At just 23, the Slovak singer-songwriter is already making waves far beyond her home country with her bold, genre-blending sound and unapologetic honesty. Whether she’s tackling topics like mental health, identity, or the queer experience, Karin brings a refreshing sense of authenticity to everything she creates. Her music (whether it’s gothic alt-pop or brutalist folk) feels both deeply personal, yet relatable.

A GLIMPSE INTO THE FUTURE OF CONTRACEPTION

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. After a short stint taking the contraceptive pill when I was in my late teens, I randomly told myself that I wasn’t the type of person to get pregnant. Flash forward five years and I was sitting in the hospital ready to have my surgical abortion. Just before I went in, the nurs

THE ISLAND

In The Island, Rebecca moves through willows and water, finding stillness in motion. Inspired by childhood solitude and imagination, the story captures the quiet bond between self and nature — a reflection of freedom, texture, and the timeless rhythm of the earth.
