Paris, Editions Planète, 3e trim. 1966. Plexus N° 4 – “La revue qui décomplexe. La seule revue de l’art magique et érotique, l’Humour littéraire et graphique, la liberté d’esprit”.

A minimal aesthetic amidst a subdued colour palette. Chunky shoes and trim canvas panting: a nod to workwear styling trends. As GQ have put it, “a parallel universe for moody art-school kids with a thing for Joy Division.”

Bed-time







Thierry Bouët is a French photographer who works in a diverse range of formats spanning artistic photography to commercial portraiture. Deslits is the title of a photographic series and book. In 160 pages of photography and text, the book features a number of known and unknown French people as they sleep in their beds.

"Thierry Bouët is happy in his bed. That’s where much of his inspiration comes from. He wanted to check and see whether his intensely close bond with that particular piece of furniture was an illness. After interviewing people and photographing them in more than 80 beds, he could rest assured: some folks are even sicker than he is."

Jeff Koons photographed this series of conceptual images at a Manhattan studio for an article on the science of same-sex pairings in animals. No assumptions should be made about the animals’ sexual preferences based on their appearance in this portfolio.

Clogs & Socks


When in doubt for brunch attire, take a cue from this English gentleman—who, incidentally, is also championing the male clog movement—and match your socks to your drink. Naturally he was sipping Bloody Marys.
