Interview Magazine

When we got pop’s hottest duo on the phone last week, they mentioned a mutual fan account that had recently caught their eye: @ikedapanthress. So naturally, we asked the creator to guest write the introduction to this conversation. From opening for PinkPantheress to lighting up dance floors, London-based singer iKeda is paving her way through the electronic scene. Last week, she released Bangs n Braces, her new EP, citing artists like Santigold and M.I.A. as sonic influences.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve gathered playlists from Weezer, Soulwax, and 1LDK. This week’s playlist comes courtesy of multi-hyphenate artist and nomad Mykki Blanco.

These storms usually cool things down a bit, but not today. In a covered passageway of a warehouse lot, Malachi Toney, the 18-year-old University of Miami star football player, is hot. “You got five more shots,” he tells me as I’m taking pictures. The order is fair.

Jay Shetty wears Jacket Canada Goose. Jay Shetty has grown On Purpose into one of the biggest podcasts in the world, getting people like Michelle Obama and Madonna to open up like only he can. He does it from an unusual vantage point: a former monk turned self-help entrepreneur who talks less like a journalist than a guide, more interested in a person’s spiritual center than their press cycle.

Writer Sofia Hallström goes hunting for answers about London’s newest, most mysterious gallery, Ferrari x2, that boasts shows with major artists like John Baldessari, George W. Bush, and Louise Bourgeois. The gallery hosts exhibitions that most people will never see, and maybe never happened at all. ——— “Meet me in West Brompton at 8pm.” I receive this mysterious text on Sunday night of the World Cup final between Argentina and Spain.

While we’re all still trying to savor the last few weeks of summer, Burberry’s newest collection showcases the fashionable winter that awaits us. For their Winter 2026 campaign starring FKA twigs and Romeo Beckham, Burberry took us to the River Thames under the energetic city lights of London. FKA twigs, whose music served as a score for the Winter 2026 show, knows the city like the back of her hand and credits it for the distinct British attitude she takes with her on the road.

“I own you now,” FBI agent Nora Washington tells her corrupt supervisor in episode six of Furious, the last line of a monologue Quincy Tyler Bernstine delivers with a vehemence that has made her performance in the hit Hulu show a late summer standout. That scene is the show in miniature: cross the wrong woman, and the consequences can be devastating.

Trinity Tatum wears T-Shirt Miss Dechet. Shorts Little Shop. Shoes from Wild West Social House. Trinity Tatum’s honeyed Virginian accent echoes down the phone line as she settles into the glam chair ahead of her Interview photo shoot. As a contestant on Season 8 of Love Island USA, the Southern belle stole our hearts week after week with her doe-like beauty, endearing off-the-cuff humor, and novella-esque romance with fellow contestant Bryce Alakai.
