3 Signature Styles

A signature style is more than appearance; it is atmosphere. It is the aesthetic world a person creates around themselves, from the cut of a coat to the tone of a film. In this series, we trace the visual signatures that turned personal expression into cultural language.

The AI Drought

Planet or profit? The devastating consequences of the AI boom. It has become painfully apparent, AI has destroyed the world as we knew it. Now, as the dust settles we are watching the new world emerge; record job losses, climate damage, emerging studies showing the already detrimental effects on our brains- and even AI marriages (yes, people are really marrying AI bots). But there's one issue being lost and obscured amongst the ruble: the AI drought. Whenever you prompt AI,

The Grassroots Algorithm

Open TikTok and you will see it: a girl in London filming her skincare routine, scroll once and you are in Gaza under bombardment, scroll again and you land at the No King’s Day protests in the United States, where hundreds of thousands boo Donald Trump on his birthday.

And yes, I know, this is the moment

It has become painfully apparent- Britain is on its knees. As a young person living in London in my short few years of adulthood I have witnessed life become increasingly unlivable- and not just for people my age. The cost of groceries, the rental shortages as if extortionate rents weren't bad eno

Peacekeeper or Bystander?

Since the UN’s founding in 1945, over 250 major conflicts have occurred worldwide. This raises the question: In a world with the highest levels of disputes, since 1946, has the UN really fulfilled its role of peacekeeper, or is it purely a powerless bystander? Let’s begin with some context. The UN emerged at the end of WWII as a way to bring states together and prevent further conflicts from occurring. How could it achieve this? The UN provides a forum for countries to come
