FLOWER house • Like transitory sculpture, Parisian florist Louis-Géraud Castor finds that the impermanence of his medium fuels his art.
Kailand’s WORLD • Kailand Morris is just getting started. After initially following in dad Stevie Wonder’s footsteps as a musician, Morris shifted his focus to the fashion world, and the 19-year-old already has several career-defining moments under his belt. Beginning with fronting a campaign for Dior Men’s Modern Tailoring collection and walking in runway shows for Comme de Garçons and Jacquemus, he then moved on to launching his own brand, House of Kom, and is now collaborating on a capsule collection with Italian sportswear label Iceberg. “I don’t want to give too much away,” he says of his many future plans. “I want people to be surprised by what I have coming up next.”
