—LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

cut from the

same cloth One of the many things I love
about working at NYLON is
that it’s a place where people
really celebrate what they
love. At heart, we’re all fans:
whether it’s photo director
Beth Garrabrant’s undying
devotion to Britney Spears or
digital director Leila Brillson’s
Star Wars addiction. Me?
I’m currently obsessed with
subversive Etsy products and
Riley Curry memes.
It’s fitting that this issue
honors two things that are
universally beloved in our
office: denim and pizza. Check
out some staffers wearing their
favorite blues on page 20. And
I’m wild about “Easy Rider,” the
fashion feature we shot in a
motorcycle shop on page 56.
Through the years, I’ve
amassed many a fond memory
of pizza. I honestly can’t think
of a slice I haven’t liked, even
the super-salty frozen ones
that my sister and I would nuke
after school. For our feature
“Life of Pie” on page 124,
associate features director Lisa
Mischianti examines the cult
and culture of our favorite food.
I’m also happy to report that
I have a new #WCW. We’ve
had our eye on Zoë Kravitz
ever since she was just a wee
babe, and she’s blossomed into
an authentically cool, talented
multi-hyphenate. She bares
her soul—and that’s not all!—to
writer Jessica Herndon at a spa
in Los Angeles’ Koreatown for
our cover story on page 84.
The article and the gorgeous
photos make me love Kravitz
even more. And talk about
good genes.

pretty cool
It seems like everything Zoë Kravitz does
just comes naturally to her. Whether she’s
dazzling on screen in flicks like Insurgent,
Mad Max: Fury Road, and Dope or onstage
with her indie electropop band Lolawolf, she
exudes an effortlessness and confidence
that we wanted to capture on our cover.
And, as it turns out, we aren’t the only ones
who are obsessed with her; stylist Sean
Knight’s inspiration for the cover shoot
wardrobe? The star herself. He channeled
Kravitz’s “badass warrior chick vibe,”
combining high-fashion pieces with
denim to “bring them down to earth,” he
says. Makeup artist Darlene Jacobs drew

from Kravitz’s “natural beauty,” accentuating
the shape of her eyes with bronze eye
shadow and freehanding a triangular,
detached cat eye with blue eyeliner. Topping
off the look are Kravitz’s signature braid
extensions, which hairstylist Leslie Bennett
hydrated and smoothed before setting them
with hair spray. It all comes together for a
look that Knight sums up best: “This girl
just oozes cool.”

heya, nylon readers,
If you’ve been keeping up to date with all of our on-site content, you won’t
be surprised by our August cover girl, because we are obsessed. From her
sultry songs to her beauty game to her expressive, unique style, it isn’t
hard to become enamored with Zoë Kravitz. (Evidence: Our incredible story
on the evolution of her style proves that she was born undeniably badass.
Check it out. You’ll be glad you did.) As always, NYLON.com aims to be
your destination for all things wildly, absurdly cool...and hot. It is August,
after all. —Meow, Leila

tricky trends: hot weather layers

Here’s a question that’s been plaguing us: What in the world do you wear when it’s
too hot to want to get dressed at all? Sure, we’re totally fine to hang out in a bikini
all weekend, but life goes on during the week—you can’t exactly roll up to the office
in a bathing suit, no matter how close to 100 degrees the temperature gets. So,
we’re tackling this style issue once and for all, with expert advice on how to stay
cool and look great during the sweatiest month of the year.

nylon’s best of
summer awards
So many amazing movies, records, and TV
shows have already come out this summer
that it would probably take you the rest of
the year just to catch up. So we’re doing it
for you, compiling the best of the best that
this season has to offer—from the buzziest
films to the most under-the-radar albums.

THE JEAN JACKET

“The denim jacket is the less-intense,
summer-friendly cousin of the leather jacket.
It not only goes with almost any outfit, but
also immediately improves it. You can count
on it as you step into a freezing subway car
or plane. It even makes for a great instant
seating pad for park hangouts. I like it best
when it doesn’t fit perfectly but runs a little
small or large.” Busra Erkara, Senior Editor

THE DENIM
OVERALL
“Overalls are as
comfy as sweatpants
but come without
the judgement when
worn in public.
Plus, nothing beats
a denim style that
allows you to eat all
of the grilled cheese

Beth Garrabrant,
Photo Director “Once a week I like
to sport an all-denim
look. When I want
to show some leg
I keep it balanced
with this denim
long-sleeve romper
that transitions
perfectly from day
to night. It also has
great pockets that I
can put my favorite
pins on.”
Kelly Shami,
Assistant Art
Director

THE JEAN SKIRT

“There’s definitely a nostalgic element to the denim miniskirt for me. It was
a staple growing up when the goal was to show as much leg as possible.
Somehow, I’ve come back full circle to that idea, and thankfully the denim
miniskirt is still there for me. Yes, denim shorts can accomplish as much, but
there’s something a bit more innocent and flirty about a skirt.” Preetma Singh,
Fashion Market Director

excitement (or as Woodstock
would put it, "!!!!!") over the 65th
anniversary of Charles M. Schulz’s
beloved Peanuts characters. In honor
of the occasion, carryall company
LeSportsac has collaborated with
the comic strip on a collection
featuring everything from cosmetic
pouches to drawstring backpacks
to weekender bags adorned with
Snoopy and his yellow-feathered
friend. A particularly cool patchwork
print draws straight from the pages
of the original newsprint comics,
which hold a special place in the
hearts of nostalgic Peanuts lovers
everywhere. But all of the designs
are a fitting tribute in anticipation
of the 3-D, CGI Peanuts movie
coming out later this year. So with
end-of-summer travel time upon
us, deciding which of the Peanuts

fashion market editor
marissa smith shows
how to get your hands
dirty in the name of diy
denim. photographed
by eric helgas

As a fashion editor and DIY enthusiast, I love to create my own

take on trends. Multi-colored paint-splatter jeans have been
on my mind for a while now, especially after seeing Denim &
Supply Ralph Lauren’s version again this season. So, I decided
to make a pair, and it turned out great. Here’s how it’s done.
 1. PICK OUT YOUR JEANS
This is a good project for all different kinds of denim styles and
washes, but keep your intended look in mind. I went with a dark- 3. GET THE PAINT
denim, wide-leg jean because I wanted to use lighter paint colors. I went to Blick by the NYLON offices in
I also planned on putting the paint toward the sides of the jean, so NYC and picked up Jacquard Textile paints.
a wider leg gave me more surface area to play with. One half-ounce bottle of each color will be
perfect if you want to re-create my project.
If you’re going for a more paint-heavy look,
I’d suggest getting two bottles. When
choosing colors, it’s really all up to your
imagination! I picked hues I knew would
match most of what I wear, but neon or
metallic paints are fun, too!

2. SET UP YOUR WORK AREA

Lay out newspaper or another protective covering over 4. DIP YOUR GLOVED HAND
INTO THE CONTAINER OF PAINT
your floor. Get latex gloves and a bowl or container that
has an opening big enough to fit your hand.
Put your hand in deep enough to make sure all of your
fingers have paint on them, but aren’t dripping.
5. SPLATTER
Make a fist, then gently
and slowly flick your
fingers out. If you want
bigger paint splatters, go
closer to the jeans; if you
want smaller ones, flick
from farther away.

6. REPEAT
Do the same with each
desired color.

7. DRY
After you’ve let the paint air-dry, blow-dry or iron over
the splatters. This will set them and make sure they
stay put when washed.

 a bug’s life
If you gave most designers a beetle,
they would either squeal in horror or
create a textile from it and call it a day.
But for Christian Louboutin, well, it's
all in the details. After using a scarab
rendition to clasp the Khepira bag from
his spring '14 collection, the French
designer looked to the bug's iridescent
color to inspire three limited-edition
polishes: the Scarabée I, a rose- and
gold-speckled hue; the Scarabée
II, a teal/eggplant shade; and the
Scarabée III, a bronze with an
emerald tinge. Just like the insect
beloved by ancient Egyptians, the
rich metallic shades transform
in different reflective lights. So
if you ever wanted to channel
Cleopatra at your weekday
rave, well, this would be
your best bet. YASMEEN

Charlotte Tilbury’s brand-new project with
famed photographer Norman Parkinson
has taken what we think we know about

photographed by george underwood

beauty collaborations and elevated it to the
next level. Case in point: Tilbury, who was
obsessed with Parkinson’s work, dreamed
up a collection of products that allow you to
emulate his signature style of using natural
light and shadow to sculpt and reshape
the face by encapsulating that idea into
compacts and makeup bags adorned with
his most iconic photographs. (Talk about
flattery, right?) The cornerstone of the
collection is the Filmstar Bronze & Glow,
a creamy version of Tilbury’s contouring
duo, inspired by the way that Parkinson
would manipulate light on the faces of his
models throughout his career. For a bit
of color, look to the Color of Youth Lip &
Cheek Glow, a natural, blushy rose hue that
you can tap onto cheeks and lips to liven
up your face. Even better? Tilbury is giving
you a taste of her new Matte Revolution
Lipsticks (launching next month) with two
shades available in the collab: 1975 Red,
an orange-toned, poppy red, and Miss
Kensington, an antique nude pink that’s a
perfect throwback to Parkinson’s work from
the ‘70s. Basically, this is a dream collection
for product junkies and art snobs alike.

 One of the many perks of staying at
the Bulgari Hotel in London is that
everything—and I mean everything—
smells amazing. This is because
the olfactory treats from the Bulgari
empire linger throughout every

bulgari room in the building and give off an

instant soothing, aromatic feeling
due to the calming ingredients like
tea found inside of their products.
In fact, the brand launched one of

spills the first-ever green-tea-infused

fragrances back in 1992 with Eau
Parfumée au Thé Vert, a clean,
refreshing scent that revolutionized

the the beauty world and ignited the

tea-craze seen in everything from
skincare to candles since then.

But over the years, they kept their
tea-infused potions flowing with the
now-iconic Eau Parfumée au Thé
Blanc (white tea) in 2003 and Eau
Parfumée au Thé Rouge (red tea)
in 2006. Needless to say, we felt
by renee rupcich extremely honored to be celebrating
the launch of their newest fragrance
family member, Eau Parfumée au
Thé Bleu, with master perfumer
Daniela Andrier—the genius nose
behind some of our favorite scents
from Maison Martin Margiela,
Prada, Marni, and Gucci (to name
a few). Inspired by Japanese tea
ceremonies, Andrier packed Au Thé
Bleu with a blend of blue tea, iris,
lavender, musk, and shiso leaves,
which exude a floral serenity like
you’ve never experienced before
when spritzed. Seriously.
And for those (like us) who prefer
darker, muskier blends, don’t fret:
Despite the dreaminess, there’s
something very masculine about the
fragrance due to the juxtaposition
of notes in the juice. Trust us: Your
other fragrances are going to be so
jealous. bulgari eau parfumée au

Everyone knows I’m forever a
jeans girl, and I’ve tackled
the whole spectrum of trends
from the skinny to the
boyfriend. But to be honest,
overalls have always been
tricky for me. Sure, I’ve
purchased a few pairs with
high hopes, yet they usually
just end up taking up space
in my closet (lots of space—
have you ever tried to fold a
pair of overalls?!). By now,
however, it’s safe to say that
the denim world has fully
embraced the overall. And I
do get the appeal—the style
is casual and carefree, with
a subtle, sexy vibe. When you
think about it, what’s not to
like? So while I may never
have been much of an overall
girl, I really want to be one.
That’s why when Madewell
invited me to their New York sporting the
City headquarters to custom- finished product
with pride
distress my own pair, I was
up for trying something new.
Maybe adding the Factory
Girl touch would make me a
true convert.
I arrive at the offices
where all of the design
magic happens; it’s where
the creatives behind each
season’s new styles dream
up ideas and create sketches
to figure out how to bring
their visions to life. At
Madewell, denim is at the
core of it all, from great jeans
to everything you wear with
them. The brand has an
effortless, tomboy sensibility—
overalls are right at home.

for example, it takes over 30

about 47 different people are basic sheets and a cool

to go to Olympic Spa in Koreatown. So
here we are, toweling off among a packed
house of equally buck-naked ladies, and
Kravitz could care less who’s looking.
“It’s so good, isn’t it?” says the Brooklyn-
based actress-singer, noticing my blissed-
out look after our full-body milk scrubs.
Kravitz knows how to treat herself—but
it hasn’t always been this way. Growing
up as a self-described “chubby, awkward
brown girl around a bunch of blonde
girls” led to struggles with bulimia and
anorexia in her teens. Her famous father’s
supermodel girlfriends, and the fact
that her mom was “the most beautiful
woman in the world,” she says, didn’t help
matters. Such self-loathing came from
“tons of things,” she continues, “including
being human.”
Earlier, over a drink at a Korean
barbecue spot near the spa (fully clothed
in a black high-low Reformation dress
under a loose black sweatshirt), she
acknowledged that “loving yourself is
a journey—we’re all just trying to figure
it out.” But at this particular juncture,
exfoliation treatments aside, Kravitz is
glowing with the self-assuredness of
someone who knows she’s hit her artistic
stride. Since releasing Calm Down, her
band Lolawolf’s well-received debut
album, late last year, she’s been on a roll,
starring in a string of massive blockbuster
films and critically acclaimed indies,
including Insurgent, The Road Within,
Mad Max: Fury Road, and Dope. Add to
that her high-profile crew of supporters—
parents Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet and
pals Jennifer Lawrence and Miley Cyrus—
and it’s easy to see why the 26-year-old
might finally be feeling comfortable in her
own skin.
Kravitz ties her long braids back into a
knot and dives into a story about opening
for Twin Shadow this past April. The
headliners weathered a tour bus crash
that hospitalized the band’s drummer as
well as its bus driver; frontman George
Lewis Jr.’s injuries required reconstructive
hand surgery. “We were totally supposed
to be on that bus,” says Kravitz, shaking
her head. “It’s crazy.” Since the accident,
she’s checked in often on her former
tourmates, and Lewis cites Kravitz’s “big
heart” as her best attribute. “Zoë really is
so down-to-earth,” he says. “She surprises
you with how natural she is.”
 She’s also not one to take anything for
Kravitz’s friend and tourmate Lewis, an
granted. Sure, Kravitz has had a privileged
artist who fluctuates between guitar- and
upbringing, but her parents took pains to
that she and her dad got matching “Free at synth-based music, and whose ethnicity is

smashed over the head
with the woman hammer,
and I think she’s making
conscious decisions to
not be a part of things
that take us back.”
While Kravitz has had
admirable success in
this regard, there have
been a few roles she’s
lost because of her race,
she says. “In the last
Batman movie [The Dark
Knight Rises], they told
me that I couldn’t get
an audition for a small
role they were casting
because they weren’t
‘going urban,’” she says.
“It was like, ‘What does
that have to do with
anything?’ I have to play
the role like, ‘Yo, what’s
up, Batman? What’s

is to sit and listen to a record, and at that
point I don’t need to talk to you. You find
that a lot of people don’t get that. It’s cool
when you meet somebody who does.”
 Eventually, Kravitz would like to step out
of the spotlight completely. “I want to have
a family,” she says, though she understands
anonymity might be easier said than done as
her star power grows. Still, she’s determined
to continue doing her own thing, which is
clear in the way she reacts to the ongoing
speculation about who she’s dating. Her
history with Michael Fassbender and then
Penn Badgley was painstakingly documented
by the tabloids, but more recently, she’s been
romantically linked to both Drake and Chris
Pine. “Chris is like my brother,” she says.
“People will continue to think we’re dating
because we will continue to hang out. We
met through mutual friends years ago, and we
just became like bros.” There was a “flirtatious
moment” with Drake, she admits, and he’d
been open about crushing on Kravitz before
they met. But the reality of who she is was
different from his fantasy, she explains. She
maintains that they are “really good friends
who respect each other and have a very similar
sense of humor.”
A week after we talk, the gossip mill will
match her up with Yasiin Bey (formerly Mos
Def), but Kravitz swears she’s been single
for two years, which feels great, she says,
because she was a serial monogamist for a
long time. Her solo status is partly due to the
fact that she “doesn’t have time to date” and
also because “I don’t get hit on, ever.” Could
it be that most guys are too intimidated to
step to her? “I’m going to say that they feel
intimidated so that I feel better about the fact
that no one’s trying to hang out,” she says
with a laugh. But who could blame most men
for wanting to play it cool? It takes her close
pal Alexander Wang to call it out: “She is the
most charismatic, loving, genuine girl I’ve met
in New York in a long time.” He especially
appreciates her “super-eclectic” style, pointing
out that every decision she makes is based
on independence. “She wears what she likes,
and she doesn’t care if she got it at a flea
market or if her friend gave it to her,” says
Wang. “She always makes it her own. She’s
a complete individual.”
She’s also not afraid to share a shy smile
with a fan who recognizes her at Olympic
Spa as we sink into leather couches, post-
massage, to sip tea. “The whole fame
thing is weird to me, and I struggle with it,”
admits Kravitz. “But when I see people who
see themselves in me, who relate to being
different, it makes me happy.”

 Hailing from the land of notoriously wacky pies
(extra-large mayo-and-potato, anyone?), Tokyo-
based Kimiaki Yaegashi is the artist behind this
series of cute illustrations starring pizza. Her
work opts for a classic gooey slice alongside
a recurring cast of characters, including the
Japanese folk-tale hero Kintaro, the legendary
supernatural creature Tengu, a bikini-clad girl,
and the occasional critter. “I think pizza has a
unique and humorous quality,” explains Yaegashi
of her inspiration. “It makes people happy. It’s like
magic.” Amen to that.

Against the backdrop of a crisp, blue Los Angeles sky, a full-on pepperoni pie flops loosely
over a red-lettered NO STANDING sign; it sits cautiously atop a desert cactus; it line-dries
with the laundry; it even rides a majestic miniature pony. This is “Pizza in the Wild,” a photo
series that thinks outside of the box, inserting pizza into unlikely outdoor scenes. Started in

Why do you think pizza has such an

Alana Watson with a laugh. She’s
trying to explain how her mix of
leather bondage gear with flowing

bandmates Daniel Stephens and Joe
Ray. “I like to put on a costume and

world is set in 2808, and inspired
by retro-futuristic movies like Blade
Runner. “If you asked me to go up
onstage as Alana, who’s talking to
you now, I don’t think I’d have the
balls,” she says.
Since their 2011 debut album,
Welcome Reality, Nero have won
a Grammy (along with Skrillex
for a remix of the EDM group’s
“Promises”), collaborated with
director Baz Luhrmann on the
Great Gatsby soundtrack, and
toured North America, the U.K., and
Australia. Despite their worldwide
success, the arresting vision of
Watson, with her bright white hair
and icy blue eyes, may not be familiar
to all—and for good reason. “Making
the first album, and even when it hit
No. 1 in the U.K., I was pulling a 50-
hour week as a midwife,” she says.
“It was mental.” Watson’s nursing
colleagues concurred with this
assessment, almost forcing her to
focus on music full time. “They told
me I had to go and do it,” she says.
And so, on the band’s sophomore
album, Between II Worlds, out this
month, Watson is taking more of
a lead role. The title is “a play on
where we’ve come from and where
we’re going to,” says Watson, and
it’s a phrase that perfectly sums up
her life over the past few years. Even

and a sweet garden out back. It’s a
far cry from the electric King’s Cross
music studio where Nero recorded
their album, let alone the frenetic
life of an EDM act on the road for
essentially three years. “When you’re
on the roller coaster of it all, you’re
sort of in it, so it took about a year
before I could look back and say, ‘Oh
my goodness, we actually did that.’”
Five years in, it is little surprise
that the group’s sound and live set
have congealed. “Keeping it to just
the three of us emphasizes the
Nero sound in its entirety,” says
Watson. “The music is so much
more structured now. It’s much more
of a band feel.” It’s also an anomaly
in a genre that typically relies on a
conveyor belt of featured vocalists.
But, in truth, the band members
have been conspiring for even
longer, growing up as best friends.
“We started raving together when we
were about 17, going to a lot of drum
’n’ bass nights,” says Watson, and her
involvement in the project happened
“quite by mistake—I came back from
university, and they were trying to
find a vocal sample. I jumped on
the mic, and the rest, as they say,
is history.”

FLO MORRISSEY TAKES A PAGE

“Do you think it would be possible

for me to have a side of avocado,

waitress, in the most polite request
for avocado ever. “That’s very L.A. of
me,” she says, referring to the two

Angeles recording her debut album,

easy to see why Morrissey has been
described as a hippie-folk revivalist.
Comparisons to Joni Mitchell and her
ilk have come quickly, but Morrissey
insists she’s never consciously tried
to “do the ’70s thing” and hopes her
music is timeless and original, rather
than simply steeped in tradition.
The second eldest of nine children,
Morrissey, 20, grew up nearby and

describes her upbringing as “quite

unique.” She’s close to her parents—
her father is an artist and a Buddhist
meditation teacher, her mother works
full time in Central London—and
Morrissey confesses she prefers
babysitting her younger siblings to
hitting the town. Still, her family has
yet to watch her perform. “Just no,”
she says, horrified at the thought
of wrangling her eight siblings
and parents into a crowded venue.
“Imagine. I mean, maybe one day
they can be my backup singers, but
en masse? No.”
The singer-songwriter definitely
doesn’t need her extended family
to help fill a show space. Since
the release of her single “Pages of
Gold”—all dreamy vocals and Laurel
Canyon-esque instrumentation—
Morrissey’s star has been on the rise.
Her performances at the Green Man
and Wilderness festivals last year
cemented her status as one to watch,
and last fall she opened for Damon
Albarn at the Casino de Paris.
Her route to making music was
relatively uncomplicated, she says:
“It was always what I wanted to do,
so I started learning guitar at 14
and—this sounds cringey—went on
GarageBand, recorded a song called
‘Show Me,’ then uploaded it
to Myspace.”
Morrissey left school at 17 to
pursue her passion and managed
herself until “Show Me” perked the
ears of Aram Goldberg, Devendra
Banhart’s manager, who promptly
signed her. Before long, she’d inked
a deal with Glassnote Records
(home to Phoenix and Mumford &
Sons) and was recording Tomorrow
Will Be Beautiful in L.A.
“I think the album title is
something I tell myself a lot,” she
says, polishing off the last of her
frittata. “As you get older, you have
to work on things more and really
make the beauty. Sometimes seeing
sadness is a good thing, too. It’s
about taking the best things from it
and seeing the beauty in it. That’s
always what I’m trying to do.”

Natasha Lyonne is teaching

She rests her head against the

a human-sized penis. “A GIF always
comes in handy,” she explains.
“It doesn’t have to be something
racy—it could be a gerbil eating
a snack or whatever.”
The 36-year-old Orange Is the
New Black actress, a born-and-bred
New Yorker, is only visiting L.A.
Although she’s often here for work,
it’s clear the woman hails from the

“Now that I’m past the nightmare
of it all—all my shenanigans and
drugs—and have come out the other
side, it is kind of funny to be 36 with
30 years of experience of doing my
job,” she says.
Lyonne, open in discussing her
past drug addiction, likens the
experience to being a kid who
enjoys a guiltless slice of Carvel ice
cream cake shaped like a whale at
a birthday party before spiraling
out of control and eating the entire
cake alone in her room. In Lyonne’s
case, the cake was heroin. “It’s hard
to get a job after your reputation
is destroyed like that,” she admits.
“There was a time when it felt like,
‘I’m never going to do that again; that
time is over.’ And then you’re right
back in it.”
It was while on the set of Weeds—
where she played a role in the show’s
finale—that she first read the script
for Orange Is the New Black. “As I
was reading it, I was emailing it—
which is, you know, illegal—to all
my actress friends being like, ‘We
all need to get on this show and live
happily ever after in prison.’”
Turns out, Lyonne ended up
working with a group she’d never met
before. “[Casting director] Jen Euston
found an incredible cast—there’s
so many unknowns. Not any more,
obviously, but there’s Samira [Wiley]
and Danielle [Brooks] who were
literally fresh out of Juilliard. They’re
wildly gifted and not at all like their
characters.”
To Lyonne, the one quality
that makes the show engaging
to co-stars, convicts, and Netflix
audiences alike is its relatability. “I
think this show is just a heightened
set of circumstances,” she says. “Like

reasons, but more than just that, we
don’t do it because the consequence

“It’s just a matter of, like, ‘Do I act
on it or not?’”

the
invaders
by karolina waclawiak

It's very easy to be an outsider,

a theme that The Believer editor
Karolina Waclawiak has well
explored in her fiction. Her follow-
up to last year’s underrated How
to Get Into the Twin Palms takes
place in a wealthy Connecticut
neighborhood, where everybody
has their nose in everybody else’s
business and will judge each other
for it. The story focuses on Cheryl,
a forty-something who married
into the community and never
quite fit in, and Teddy, her troubled
teenaged stepson who always finds
new ways to disappoint his father.
Though Cheryl and Teddy are
foils to their caricature-like,
awful neighbors, Waclawiak
offers no real heroes for the
reader, instead portraying a dark,
complicated little world where
even the most likable people are
supremely warped in their own
ways. And it is a world where issues
of class, race, privilege, mental
illness, and melon-colored skorts
get explored, the Connecticut way.
ANNA FITZPATRICK

the rocks
by peter nichols

Within the first 50 pages of The

Rocks, Peter Nichols's sophomore
novel, a 70-year-old woman takes
a 15-year-old boy's virginity and a
middle-aged man deflowers a teen
girl. But to liken the 432-page work
to a steamy beach read would be
grossly inaccurate. Sure, there's
sex, as there seems to be in any
modern-day novel, but it’s just
something that happens from time
to time. Instead, The Rocks plays
with nearly every aspect of
humanity—from the concept of
love at first sight to deception to
death. Set on the hills of Mallorca,
the novel opens in 2005 and trails
back decade by decade to 1948.
Seemingly seminal characters
become obsolete, old grudges
become nonexistent, and the
reader is forced to let go of all
major character developments.
Much like any cult hit, it’s a
satisfying read for reading's sake—
just don't expect to come out with
a clear sense of what you just
consumed. YASMEEN GHARNIT

artist:
cybèle
young
Cybèle Young knows that good things come in small packages. The
Toronto-based artist’s whimsical paper sculptures create an immersive
universe…if you happen to have the proportions of a mouse, that is. “The
smaller I make things, the bigger I’m able to express myself,” she says.
Young’s work wasn’t always so bite-sized and fragile. “I sculpted
with metal, wood, and big unwieldy things,” she says. But shortly after
graduating Ontario College of Art and Design, she made the switch to
printmaking, discovering joy in the reduction in scale. “What started as a
practical necessity became a very critical reality in my process,” she admits.
Ever the sculptor, Young found herself preoccupied with her materials.
“I was using these Japanese papers that were just begging
to be worked with three-dimensionally,” she says. “They’re
extremely delicate yet totally durable. They embody this
beautiful paradox that represents a lot of things in life.”
Working on such a small scale heightens the margin for
error. Luckily the artist’s relationship with failure is strictly
positive. “I’ve grown to really love failure,” she says. “I’ve
made sculptures, and run over them with the wheels of my
work chair, and somehow, it becomes something else.” In
fact, that slipup inspired a project in which the artist created
stop-motion videos of her squishing the sculptures. The
flattened objects are repurposed as monoprints.
There’s another typically terrifying notion Young has
embraced: change. In fact, change served as the inspiration
for the artist’s June solo show at Forum Gallery in New York,
as well as her book, Some Things I’ve Lost, out next month.
Both the show and the book chronicle the transformation
of oft-misplaced household objects—keys, glasses, a
handbag—into mythical sea creatures. “Part of dealing with
change is letting go, losing things, and being OK with that.
I became obsessed with change,” says Young, who at the
time was navigating turning 40 and finally ridding herself of
a two-decades-long battle with anxiety. “By connecting the
interior world of humans and the exterior world of ocean-
dwelling creatures, in a way, I dealt with an issue of the
grander scheme.” ALLYSON SHIFFMAN

YOUNG HOL LY WOOD

Leave it to our May cover star Dakota Fanning to host
a helluva party. On May 7, Hollywood’s bright young
things came out to Hyde Sunset Kitchen + Cocktails
to fête our Young Hollywood Issue—one of our most
cherished yet. With a little help from BCBGeneration,
stars like Victoria Justice and Kiernan Shipka rubbed
elbows with Maddie Ziegler and Ruby Rose. (They even
left with some sweet BCBGeneration swag from the
VIP gifting suite.) DJs Taja Barber and Johnny Danger
kept the music pumping while guests sipped on custom
cocktails by Deep Eddy Vodka, House of Beer lager,
and XXIV Karat Grande Cuvée Sparkling Wine infused
with gold leaf. And if, at any point, guests needed a
beauty touch-up, beGlammed was on-site with expert
stylists armed with OGX products.

Another Hangout Fest has come and gone and
we’ve got the tan lines to prove it. In May, Gulf
Shores, Alabama, was flooded with folks from all
over the nation with one goal in mind: to party down
on the beach, because how often can you see artists
like Tove Lo and Beck while getting sand between
your toes? (Spoiler: Not often.) Hangout Fest prides
itself on being the sandiest music festival. Plus,
with a lineup as diverse as this year’s, there was
something for everyone.

The Cannes Film Festival is about so much more than
movie screenings and lavish red carpets–it’s a fortnight of
social gatherings fit for modern-day royals and those who
have an in. This year, we partnered up with Kat Graham
to premiere her new short film series, Muse, inspired by
her music. Held at the beachfront Plage Royale on the
famous Croisette, NYLON and friends (including Alexis
Knapp and Kimberley Garner) sipped bubbly and gazed
out at yachts for days. The French Riviera is something
we most definitely Cannes do.
