The footage of the dramatic sinking of the Costa Concordia and the loss of life brings mental images flooding back of that almost mythic sinking of RMS Titanic back in 1912. The same pictures come to mind of party going passengers suddenly plunged into cold, dark, unforgiving waters. The Titanic story shook the world [...]
This is a tale that chimes with our times. Leonardo V has created The Road, a fashion shoot influenced by the book and film of the same name. Order has broken down. Humanity is in crisis. The familiar and comforting elements of our civilisation are all in ruin. Pockets of survivors exist amongst the chaos. [...]
This latest London art show by the artist Toby Ziegler deals with memory. It is a striking and unnerving set of images and sculpture that conjure up emotions and nostalgia for memories, people and places that were never really ours in the first place. So they appear at once familiar yet unsettling. In an [...]
Waiting for that telephone to ring. All glammed up with no place to go. Got myself all sexy and sassy and I’ve locked down my garb. Why no call? I’m sure I left the right number. Got the apartment all fresh and shiny. Counting down the seconds. Just need that phone to ring… New Fashion [...]
Manchester prides itself on its colourful musical history, which has helped to create a strong musical identity for the city. However, over the last few years, Manchester has been home to the development of some interesting acts that you might not automatically link with the city. Flux Magazine has selected three acts from a new [...]
Kate Winslet projectile vomiting across an expensive coffee table. Christoph Waltz stuffing his face and snorting like a deranged pig. Four people at a meeting in an apartment they appear unable to leave. It sounds like a torturous Sartre play. Thankfully, it is a lot more fun than that. It all takes place in ‘Carnage’ [...]
We love a sense of mystery and intrigue here at Flux and Transformativa delivers (or refuses to deliver) that in spades. All we know about Transformitva is in that fact he is just one man, born in Brazil, now lives in London and that this is his first public release. None of the usual hype [...]
We get to see so many boring videos and hear so many dull as dishwater tracks, I hate to say, here at Flux. So when we get to see a video by Studio Fünf based around the story of a guy dressed up as a Polar Bear trying to escape from a boring costume party [...]
I really like this mesmerising video for Fucked Up’s latest single ‘Turn the Season’. The video has an otherworldly feel to it. It was shot during the photoshoot for the album ‘David Comes to Life’ which has had a lot of praise heaped upon it since its release earlier this year. It features familiar faces [...]
Fleet Foxes have gone the extra mile with this their latest video accompaniment to new single The Shrine / An Argument”. Directed by Sean Pecknold, this is a beautiful, sometimes startling animation. We enter a dreamlike world haunted by dark fairytales. Diabolical beasts and wondrous creatures appear from the gloom as our story is played [...]
Move over Dr. Zuess; there’s a new master of rhyming couplets in town. He’s currently touring as part of Miles Kane’s band and goes by the name of Eugene McGuinness and is back more dapper than ever with the track ‘Lion’ – what the man himself describes as “the biggest ‘fuck off’ my soul could [...]
I was feeling kind of sick of all the retreads, re-styles and polite but somehow dull indieshmindyness that pervades the alternative airwaves nowadays. BBC 6 Music is settling down with its pipe and slippers giving us what we want but not necessarily what we need (or is it the other way around). So I was [...]
Last year we were approached to be main media support for the RAWards creative industry awards which helps cultivate bright new creative talent across the USA. We were honoured to be asked and so accepted the invitation. RAW go above and beyond in their pursuit of the finest future artists to give them that helping [...]
When we were asked to be a part of this music show on Channel 4 we hesitated for a moment or two. It’s one thing us interviewing bands and such but a totally different scenario when the tables are turned. (yes I know a taste of our own medicine and all that). Anyway seen as [...]

If you’re a sneakerhead you’ll no doubt go all dewy eyed at the news of this new PUMA release. The secretive organisation otherwise known as The PUMA Shadow Society have announced that the third and final drop of their series will be the classic GTX States. This now classic suede sneak has been reinvented [...]

The growing internationalisation of art and the arts industry takes another stride forward with the opening of White Cube Hong Kong. This is a major move by the galllery brand adding to their existing three London gallery spaces (pictured): Hoxton Square in East London, Masons Yard in St. James’s and Bermondsey Street in South London.

I cling to bare branches of trees as I clamber around the edge of the pond at the back of Victoria Miro Gallery. Following closely is artist Alex Hartley who instructs my footfall as we approach our colourful, yet tattered destination – a Geodesic dome floating on a raft which Alex and his chickens have [...]

British-Ghanaian artist John Akomfrah’s independent film The Nine Muses is a thoughtful, poetic piece of cinema that explores the immigrant experience of Post War Britain.
French director Michel Hazanavicius is a master at mimicking the works of others; his two hilarious OSS 117 films skewer the silliness of spy movies by recreating their style and tone, whilst throwing a healthy dose of modern absurdity into the mix to create films that feel like undiscovered gems and very fresh, irreverent modern [...]

“WOMAN DEAD IN FLAT FOR 3 YEARS”: an arresting, somewhat anonymous August 2006Sun headline. That woman’s name was Joyce Carol Vincent and she died in her North London flat in 2003, aged 38. Her remains were discovered three years later, with the television still on, its warm glow flickering over a cold cadaver. Joyce passed [...]

Christmas can be a mad, bad busy time and it can take its toll on all of us. Clinique have come up with some products that treat your eyes so they feel as good as they look. You can create your perfect party eyes with New Clinique Lid Smoothie Antioxidant 8 Hour Colour. These long [...]
Nostalgia is a very seductive and inviting state in which to immerse yourself but it can have a sting in its tail. The idea of vintage as style I like – you can step into it – consciously enjoy its wry ironic smile and then step out again into another era or even into the [...]
MAC Cosmetics are injecting some dark London theatrics into their brand with the launch of this latest range. They’ve partnered up with Gareth Pugh – the epitome of sharp edged style. Pugh doesn’t collaborate with just anyone who approaches him, so the MAC pair up is something of a coup for the cosmetics brand, but [...]

I’ve heard of many strange and unusual materials in my time. Bamboo and hemp, with their green credentials, I know are all the rage but this one is a new one on me. The Big Issue have just launched their new initiative “The Bag Issue” which features some very desirable bags made from banana skin [...]
Perhaps better known as a street skate clothing company KR3W do a natty line in slick leather boots for men who like their feet adorned in a boot made of quality leather but with that street edge still unashamedly on show. These boots from KR3W are made for walking & lounging as well as [...]
A wishlist of super good looking trainers, classy not kooky, sleek black and stand out would get you these Deep Black high top trainers – absolute beauties from M by Monderer. The range is all black leather, stitched and eyes to the n-th degree to give a look that is pure understated darkness. These are great [...]
BP Portrait Award Winner Stuart Pearson Wright unveils his intriguing new collection, which explores the use of the smile as an icon and signifier of a successful life, and how it is prominently used this way in advertising, culture and the mass media. At the heart of this collection is Keira Knightly – who [...]
When I first set eye upon these grainy images of extraordinary bubble houses in this unique new architecture book I had to know more. I’ve always been a sucker for a bubble car or a bubble house. That shape – the rebellion against the cube. My heart also skips an extra beat when I see [...]
His work permeating shock and sex, Joe Machine salivates life through painting. Primarily focused on death and forced lust, the work of this British artist draws us in, but leaves us wincing. Turning his childhood exposure to pornography and violence into his trademark pictures of sailors and bloodshed, there is a raw truth in the [...]
