Hey circuit queens! Unpacking the visual references in Troye

The Australian artist is back with what would be the yr’s hottest video, with references to Peter Hujar, Caravaggio and Wolfgang Tillmans. Strap in and strap on! Well, we've got our first poppers anthem of the summer. Yesterday, Troye Sivan debuted “Rush”, the lead single from Something To Give Each Other, the Australian popstar’s first record in five years. A Gordon von Steiner-directed music video dropped alongside the song, setting the web ablaze for its heady depiction of a sticky, sexy, very gay summer.

Jean Paul Gaultier Is the Visual Guru Behind Recent

Jean Paul Gaultier still has a taste for fashion’s outer fringes: As curator and visual design director of the subsequent cabaret-style revue at Berlin’s Friedrichstadt-Palast, Gaultier conscripted the alien-looking Canadian couple often known as Fecal Matter, and the Russian performance artist Sasha Frolova, synonymous with latex and abstract forms. “Falling | In Love” is the title for the show, billed as the costliest ever mounted by the state theater owned by the City of Berlin. The production budget was nearly 14 million euros and the show debuts on Sept. 21.

Rick Braukis is the firestarter behind SZA’s hypnotic visual

The pyro producer talks ‘accessible chemistry’, EDM, and getting a load of white powder through international customs Picture a ‘scientist’ or ‘chemist’ and your brain might (unfairly) imagine the visual equivalent of a ‘total nerd’, probably wearing a lab coat or something. It’s almost definitely not Rick Braukis, a chemical specialist who carries out experiments in Prada dresses and heels, and handles flaming compounds in her underwear. Her Instagram is an enigmatic mix of quad bikes, awe-inspiring nature, horses and high fashion: plants with iridescent leaves, neon stripper heels, and flaming knives. Braukis was recently credited as handling “fire and glow” on SZA’s “PSA”, the primary teaser of recent music round her much-hyped SOS...
