With its mix of interviews, fashion editorials, and profiles, colourful biannual Modernroad covers emerging art, design and culture. Their seventh issue, themed ‘Coming of Age’, is appropriately marked by a significant change in format—the magazine doubles in size and heft to feel somewhat Luncheon-esque, its large matt pages allowing the photography and fashion to take centre stage.
Inside, you’ll find Parisian designers Studio Akademos, Egyptian architect Tarek Shama, and artists Sophia Pega, Faissal El Malak and Athan Mytilinaios, along with Le Grand Hôtel Cayre in Paris and Boa Hotel Projects in Barrio do Silva, both breathing new life into historic areas. With photography from Alizabeth Bean and Abdulaziz Alhosni, and annotations from the Editor-in-Chief scattered throughout.
