Issue 2 is an evolution of the EE72 ethos. More than fashion, it’s a platform for art and culture, and an instinctive reflection of the moment we’re living in.

Edward Enninful
Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer, EE72

For its sophomore issue, EE72 spotlights the modern visionaries redefining cinema today — from Teyana Taylor to Kristen Stewart, Eddie Redmayne to Harris Dickinson and beyond. We step inside the studios of this year’s Turner Prize nominees Nnena Kalu, Rene Matić, Zadie Xa and Mohammed Sami. Dan Jackson and Julia Sarr-Jamois capture fashion’s new, daring silhouette; then it’s off to Tokyo to meet LVMH Prize Fund finalist Soshi Otsuki, before heading to Paris where Pierpaolo Piccioli speaks to Anders Christian Madsen about his next chapter at Balenciaga.

Photographer Miranda Barnes photographs under-represented communities in America. We also examine the rise of the facelift — when to consider one, and who to trust — and in Shape Shifter, cult shoe designer Nina Christen reflects on her era-defining work for Loewe, Céline, The Row and Bottega Veneta, as she begins her new chapter at Dior.

Issue 2 arrives with a special dual cover: a 50/50 split between an exquisite punk rose by Nick Knight, complete with a black safety pin, and a striking beauty portrait of new face Ajus Samuel, captured by Dan Jackson with styling by Julia Sarr-Jamois and beauty by Lynsey Alexander.
