Journalist Alexia Rosas () reflects on the work of fashion designer Paul Miniet () through his brand Ocaso.

Alexia justifies: “the mission underlying Paul's intentions with fashion is what really inspired the note. In my opinion, Paul is the epitome of combining his passion for designing with his intention to deliver a product that encapsulates much more than a piece of clothing. Just as writers write stories through words, Paul writes a story in his clothing line, and I think it adds poetic justice-if you will, and write about his story: Ocaso.”

In what ways is jazz disruptive?

Introducing one of our finalist contributors for Issue III: DESIGN - Hannah Soltani, Iranian writer.

From Iran, Hannah brings a brilliantly constructed analysis of the design of the jazz genre. Through her piece, she aims to create a better understanding of why jazz can be so charmingly unsatisfying, as well as how it can create an incredibly deep connection between the audience and the musicians. To create this, she interviewed Panas Athanatos, a pianist at jazz clubs in New York, and French-Persian producer Parviz, who creates instrumental music by fusing jazz patterns with eclectic genres that allow the listener to surrender to sensation.
