A little look behind the scenes: Anyone who, like FACES, has its headquarters on Zurich’s most beautiful cherry blossom avenue, always makes a beeline for work in March. Otherwise you’ll crash the photo shoots of all the cherry blossom influencers posing under the pink and white Staging splendor. (An honorable, but currently somewhat over-saturated professional field.) Did this have an unconscious effect on the choice of colors for the April cover? Perhaps. More importantly, we made it to the new issue on time, despite a few detours on our doorstep. With, among others:
Beauty Report
Sorry, Clean Girls. Global beige stocks have now reached a dramatically low level. That’s why we’re manifesting personalities like “Mermaid at a Rave”, “Queen of the Renaissance Faire” and “Mushroom Fairy” for our summer make-up looks. Our beauty report brings you magical inspiration for your own magic, er, make-up box.
Seba Kayan
The dancefloor can also be political. Especially when Seba Kayan is behind the mixing desk. As a DJ and producer, she questions terms such as world music and reflects on her Kurdish roots in her tracks. In this interview, we talk to the Viennese about the decolonization of electronic music and how she has asserted herself as a woman in the scene.
Ayahuasca Retreat
The strongest hallucinogen in the world is called ayahuasca, comes from South America and was recently sloshed in a paper cup held by our author Michael Rechsteiner. More and more visitors to Spanish luxury retreats are now sipping the black brew in the hope of seeing the world through different eyes. Michael describes what happened to him in his report.
And what else?
We talk to the team of authors of the city guide “Soul of Vienna” about the insider tips of the Danube metropolis. We see life through the lens of photographer Sarah van Rij. And we don’t even need to put on our pink glasses to see the Mount Nelson Hotel in Cape Town, as the small and historic palace on Table Mountain shines in glorious pink.
