How to make people watch Shakespeare: Just put Emma Watson in everything

From the 2020 Pirelli Calendar by Paolo Roversi

Renowned fashion photographer Paolo Roversi took inspiration from William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet for the 47th edition of the Pirelli Calendar. Historically, The Cal featured provocative images of women, but recently the brand has moved away from scantily-clad models to more artistic themes. Roversi chose Claire Foy, Mia Goth, Chris Lee, Indya Moore, Emma Watson, Kristen Stewart, Rosalía, Yara Shahidi, and Stella Roversi to interpret the role of Juliet for the calendar.

Speaking of his work, the Italian lensman said: "The idea of Juliet came to me because I have been exploring the themes of beauty and love for several years. I have also investigated femininity and tenderness. Juliet is all of this. When I think of a feminine ideal, I think Juliet is one of the few characters who successfully embodies it in herself." Thank God there's not a single Romeo to be found. Anyway, here's a behind-the-scenes look at the 2020 Pirelli Calendar:

The French artist's paintings often feature opposing elements—light and shadow, nature and industry, pleasure and violence, the real and the surreal.

Think of a vivid dream where everything is a little off-kilter, quite nightmarish, but in the most charming way possible. Proux's work is a reminder that art isn't just something to be observed in a museum or gallery. It's a powerful form of communication, a way for artists to share their...

Experiencing Hiroya Kurata's Art

Finding moments of genuine peace can feel like a rare treasure these days. But what if I told you that a dose of serenity could be as simple as gazing upon a canvas? Hiroya Kurata 's work makes you want to slow down and find tranquility in daily life. His oil paintings look like delightful children's books or manga that whisper calmness through their composition, their palette, and the very essence of what they depict. Hiroya's canvases are basically a visual diary, capturing little snippets of moments he spends with his family in ordinary places. And, in a way, his art provides a pause button, a moment to simply be in the presence of something beautiful and serene. His work has been exhibited extensively in solo and group exhibitions across the globe, from New York to Hong Kong, Tokyo, and London. Waiting , his debut solo show at Carl Kostyál , is on view until August 2, 2025.

So, have you given Chloe Qisha a listen yet?

What I love about the Malaysian-born singer-songwriter is her knack for crafting those sad/happy songs – music that makes you want to cry and hit the dance floor at the same time. Chloe writes about love, anxiety, and self-acceptance with such wit and honesty. Her beauty is also undeniable – a perfect blend of modern allure and timeless Asian elegance. Her looks shine through with such grace and an effortlessly cool confidence. Here is my favorite.
