Biannual
Editor-in-chief: Arianna Guion
Editor: Paolo Bambilla
From Milan comes youthful fashion and culture biannual Marlè, specifically dedicated to ‘fashion, sexology, sociology, psychology’. Scattered amongst a set of playfully themed shoots are pieces of sex-positive cultural commentary, written in both Italian and English side by side and hand-signed by the author, like a doctor's note.
This fourth issue—hand delivered to us by editor-in-chief Arianna Guion fresh off a flight from Milan— is themed Obsession, offering a shame-free look at masturbation and addiction, voyeurism, fashion's obsession with originality, and trauma, with a handy Marlé-branded condom included on the first page.
As for the name, Arianna explains: ‘The guiding voice that transports the reader page after page is "La Marlè," a 74-year-old lady who, like a grandmother, serves as a spokesperson for an authentic view of life through the brilliant minds of our contributors.’
