There’s a certain kind of desire we don’t talk about enough. Not the kind that builds into something real, but the kind that exists in the in-between. The almost. The chase. The part where wanting feels more powerful than having. Here’s an uncomfortable truth I had to admit to myself at some point: I used to lose interest the moment I got what I wanted. Not slowly. Not over time. Instantly. The second it shifted from wondering if he wanted me  to knowing he did … something in

In the influencer economy, we talk endlessly about the girl in the frame. The outfit.The aesthetic. The perfectly composed image that lands on millions of screens. But rarely do we talk about the person holding the camera. For Linda Schulz, Roe Magazine’s March cover star, that person is Mati, her boyfriend, creative partner, unofficial photographer, strategist, and the quiet force behind the images that built her career. While Linda’s name is the one audiences know, Mati has

For years, Euphoria has been praised as the defining visual language of Gen Z; stylised, chaotic, emotionally raw. But with Season 3, something has shifted. And not in the way its creator, Sam Levinson, might think. What once felt like an unfiltered exploration of youth now feels like something else entirely: indulgent, voyeuristic and, at times, deeply uncomfortable for all the wrong reasons. The Problem: When One Voice Becomes Too Loud There’s a reason most prestige televis

At Coachella 2026, where everything is supposed to be hyper-produced and perfectly curated, Justin Bieber said… what if we just vibe? And that’s exactly what he did. In a headline set that will likely go down as one of the most unconventional—and culturally defining—Coachella performances to date, Bieber stripped back the idea of what a festival set should look like and replaced it with something far more reflective of the internet generation he helped shape. Instead of follo

You know when you repeat a word so many times that it starts to lose its meaning? I couldn’t help but wonder… Life, much like fashion, has become watched, scheduled, and optimised to the point where it feels as though no one is really having fun anymore. And with that, identity has blurred into a loop of online personas that coexist, overlap, and dilute each other between camera lenses and curated Instagram feeds. Everyone is trying to be cool, chic, and sexy, but what most p

No matter the name, Ye is still Kanye West, and he’s still saying what no one else will.I think people are focusing on the wrong things when it comes to Bully. The rollout, the controversy, the name; Ye vs Kanye. It’s easy to get caught up in all of that. But if you actually sit with the album, if you listen properly, read the lyrics one by one, something else becomes very obvious: This isn’t random. It’s not chaos for the sake of chaos. It’s intentional. Because at the core

Some creative careers begin with a plan. Others begin with a feeling, a quiet sense that something is missing, and a curiosity strong enough to follow it. For Ken, filmmaking did not come from film school or a lifelong blueprint. It came from instinct. From picking up an iPhone while working in finance. From filming friends in music studios. From noticing that what excited him most was not the safe, expected path he had already stepped onto, but the possibility of making some

There’s something deeply disarming about honesty. Not the curated kind. Not the version that’s been softened, filtered, or repackaged to be more “digestible.” But the kind that arrives unpolished. Emotional. Uncertain. The kind that doesn’t try to have all the answers, but simply tells the truth. That’s what Gabrielle Caunesil   did in her recent YouTube video, The Hardest Decision I Have Ever Made | Healing Journey. She didn’t just explain why she had been absent. She opened

It started, as most modern existential crises do, with an Instagram Reel. Specifically, a video by Stanzi Potenza titled “Where have all the good girls gone?”, a humorous (and slightly too accurate) take on modern dating that left the internet collectively nodding, laughing, and maybe rethinking a few life choices. Naturally, it raised an equally pressing question. A question whispered over brunch mimosas, dramatically sighed into group chats, and occasionally shouted at the

In a culture defined by speed, scroll, and saturation, one question keeps resurfacing: can art still make people pause? Because beyond trends, beyond virality, there is something harder to achieve: making a generation care about art, about history, about references that existed long before them. And right now, there is arguably only one artist operating at that level with both precision and mass appeal: Rosalía. Not just consuming culture, but reframing it, reintroducing it,

Photography courtesy of @ devininanewdress Through silence, memory, and the poetry of everyday life, the NYC-based director, Devin Desoouza, creates short films that linger long after they end. Some directors rely on spectacle to move people. Devin does the opposite. Before we ever spoke to him, his work had already stayed with me in a way that very few creatives’ work does. It wasn’t just something I came across once and liked, it was something I kept returning to. The kind

There was a time when Fashion Week followed a very clear structure. Designers presented their collections. Editors decided what mattered. Buyers decided what would end up in stores. And the rest of the world waited months to see the results in magazines. Today , that structure has quietly collapsed. After watching Fashion Week evolve over the past few years, both from the perspective of someone working in media and as the co-founder of Roe Magazine, where we analyze the busi

For nearly two decades, The Kooks have quietly provided the soundtrack to growing up. Their songs drift through late-night walks, messy breakups, festival fields, and the strange optimism of your early twenties. Somewhere in the background there’s usually a jangly guitar line tying it all together—most often played by guitarist Hugh Harris. Since the band emerged from Brighton’s mid-2000s indie explosion alongside frontman Luke Pritchard, Harris has been the melodic architect

They restart. “Hi Roe.” Reset. “Hi Roe.” Again. And then, finally: “We are ROYA from Denmark… and we are here in Barcelona.” The Danish duo, Line and Sebastian, are hours away from taking the stage at Razzmatazz. They’re buzzing, playful, slightly chaotic in the most charming way. But beneath the jokes, there’s someth

Photos credits to @pinterest Not long ago, the ultimate online aspiration was visual perfection. The clean girl woke up at 6 a.m., drank chlorophyll water, owned five matching workout sets, and spoke mostly in routines. She optimized her body, her morning, her habits, however rarely her mind. Now, quietly and almost rebelliously, a different archetype has appeared in her place. She still has taste. But now she also has opinions. The internet’s newest aspirational figure isn’

Since 2025, exclusivity has evolved. What once showed up as quiet luxury bags, skincare routines, or hyper-curated aesthetics is now being distilled into something even more selective: how fit you look. When you see someone who’s fit today, you’re not just registering thinness or muscle tone. You’re subconsciously reading an entire lifestyle. You assume they can afford expensive Pilates or reformer classes. That they spend more on organic groceries, supplements, and functiona

When Vogue recently declared that “having a boyfriend is embarrassing,” the internet predictably split in two. On one side: celebration. On the other: confusion, backlash, irony-laced jokes. But buried beneath the hot takes was a quieter truth, one that says less about men, and more about how desire is perceived now. Because the real embarrassment isn’t romance.It ’s visibility. It ’s being seen wanting something.It ’s the social risk of trying. In a culture that rewards c

A grounded guide for influencers and content creators who want direction, not just inspiration. Vision boards have a bit of a branding problem. They’re often dismissed as aesthetic collages—pretty, aspirational, and quickly forgotten. For influencers and content creators, that approach doesn’t work. This industry moves fast, rewards focus, and punishes confusion. A vision board shouldn’t be about dreaming louder. It should be about seeing clearer . When done right, a vision

And then there’s Paloma: one shirt, one idea, one woman who refused to compromise. The Paloma Shirt is deceptively simple—a white button-down with a clean line and an almost quiet presence. But behind it is Jessica: a mother, sales leader at Pinterest, ex–Condé Nast, and now the founder obsessed with building a billion-dollar

Pia Mance, founder of jewelry brand Heaven Mayhem , embodies this shift perfectly. With a social presence that channels the polished, effortless energy of a modern beauty muse (often compared to Hailey Bieber), Mance isn’t simply running a brand—she is the brand. While legacy companies

In today’s luxury economy, influence is no longer limited to front-row appearances or campaign ambassadorships. It’s increasingly becoming infrastructure. And Huntingt

“The Older Brother Effect” - Wes Glouchkov is the fitness coach who keeps it simple (meat, cottage cheese, training, mindset), refuses easy brand money, and wants to build a community that raises young men with character. He’s half Texas, half Bulgaria, and 100% authentic. The humor and reels are the hook; the message is deeper: health is the doorway to humanity. From Texas grit and Bulgarian roots to Bali resets, Versace shows, and online coaching, Wes is building strength t

From the fast-paced, studio-like ecosystem of Los Angeles to the intimate, storytelling-driven world of Barcelona, she has navigated two very different influencer landscapes, and thrived in both.
