Spanish-born rapper Bb Trickz sheds light on fashion influences, her new EP "Sadtrickz", how to stay positive through trials and tribulations of fame, and balancing a curated vision with authenticity.

From LA DJS to performing in BALENCIAGA’S NYSE presentation, we had the pleasure to dress and speak with Sextile, TERMINAL’s favorite Acid-Punk band, for their recent album release.

The Bjerregaard silhouette is both done and undone; the figure is polished and cloaked from head to toe, with unraveling drapings and fringe that envelope the body, achieving a balance between pristine mechanics and handcrafted sensibilities. Without comparison, the designer has created a world where volume and fitted materials can coexist, and lucky for us, we were able to animate some of them on model Justine Mae Biticon for our AW23 editorial that highlights these long-awaited show pieces. Louise Lyngh Bjerregaard’s work is deeply informed by a multitude of influences and sources, and here she joins us to discuss her latest collection.

Jean Paul Gaultier meets South London based brand KNWLS, the result being a 42-piece collection that draws inspiration from the late ’90s and early 2000s. The collaboration references tailoring and colorways from Gaultier’s SS04 collection Homage à la Breauté des Rousses, as well as corsetry from Madonna’s 1990 Blond Ambition tour. Available now in-store.

In this exclusive video interview, owners Quinn Kimsey-White and Zach Jarrett invite us behind the scenes to behold the daily operations that ultimately sustain this hybrid business model. With a new wine bar emerging from oblivion every 6 months or so, what does it take to truly generate energetic resonance–and how do you maintain it?

We meet Jimmy Ayeni and Ola Tokunboh Badiru at their east London apartment, which not only serves as a resting ground, but also as a closed-door exhibition. Whilst Jimmy sits by his desktop, mixing sounds and perfecting instrumentals, Ola begins a new painting. It’s almost like a nursery; an incubator for all things creative, true to their brand ‘Vivendii’, which derives from ‘Modus Vivendi’, Latin for ‘our way of living’. 

Vitesse X, the enigmatic producer and DJ from New York, captivates with ethereal sounds and enchanting vocal melodies. Drawing inspiration from the pulsating rhythms of modern rave culture and the nostalgic aura of the '90s, Vitesse X occupies a sonic frontier that is both exhilarating and alluring. Listen to her T27 exclusive mix to set the tone for spring.

The man behind one-thousand tracks, creating art on his own terms. For SS22 Barrett Avner investigates RXK Nephew’s place within our current moment.

September mix prepared by our very own Darcy Haylor (DJ SHEATH). Known for curating several of our monthly playlists, the approach for this mix came from a different direction. It’s an assortment of sounds reflective of T27's physical space and textures, evocative of a space age aura landing into a zen garden. Opening with a tranquil lull by friend and collaborator Alex Beauregard, it ends with an unforgiving collision of Slovenian techno with early 2010s NYC hip-hop.

CFCF (aka Mike Silver) is a Grammy-nominated electronic musician, producer and DJ from Montreal, Canada. His most recent album 'Memoryland', released in 2021, explored the restlessness of the Y2K generation, fusing disparate genres from jungle, grunge, UK garage and french house to form a hyperkinetic period piece of turn-of-the-millennium youth in an identity crisis, and earning him a spot on the 2021 Polaris Prize shortlist.
