How the Apples Fall for Issue 16

20 June 2024

Colours are brightest in childhood. Don't you remember the grass being bright green? Did the field ever end? Was wind even cold?

As our cover star, YUNGBLUD, told us, "The beautiful thing about being a young kid is that you don’t have a filter of insecurity or consequence." Our editorial, "How the Apples Fall" photographed by Pip Bourdillon is a visual story of child-like free-spiritedness. It's a bite of a fresh apple in summer. The boys balance on a wooden fence, lay in a field of daisies, play leapfrog, and run across cobblestones. We hope this editorial inspires you to find the colour in your life and let it soak in.

Elliot, Babafemi, and William are dressed in bright colours and bold patterns with billowing textures. As they move, their shared energy looks kaleidoscopic. Sometimes all you need to soothe your soul is a good frolic. Sometimes we have to remember simplicity.

Take in the full 14-page visual story beyond this. Our brand new Spring Summer 2024 issue Breaking Waves is available to buy online and in select stores worldwide.
