Welcome to the winter 2016 issue of SLEEK
SLEEK dedicates issue 52 to The New Native, a term that refers to people who look at home not as a geographic location, but rather as set of friends and relationships, as our EIC Jeni Fulton argues. With a hectic schedule of fashion weeks and travel, our cover star Virgil Abloh from the much-buzzed label Off-White encompasses this concept perfectly. Conversely, “Berlin Calling” focuses on six fashion designers who have chosen to call the German capital home for different reasons. Elsewhere in the magazine, stylist Tess Yopp revisits her childhood home of Moscow in the fashion editorial “On the Margins”; and Michelangelo Pistoletto discusses his career marked by 60 years of artistic rebellion.
