    Good Friday

    Daisy Lewis is a friend, neighbour and confidant but also a very talented actress and writer. I was so pleased to receive her text because I knew the pleasure I would have reading it. What I didn't expect was how incisive would be her words, how her descriptions of feelings were going to be far from ethereal but so present and would cut through my skin. I felt a lot reading her words. (Thank you, Daisy). Enjoy!

    On The Phone With Jason Basmajian

    Creative force and luxury industry tastemaker Jason Basmajian's career has focused to date on fashion and design. Heading various fashion brands, from Brioni to Gieves & Hawkes and most recently Cerruti, where he introduced a line for women alongside the menswear, Jason has an eye for immersive universe. I had the pleasure of meeting Jason in the English countryside at a common friend's house a couple of years ago. Having kept a friendly relationship with Jason, we had never really talked trends or work. The Covid Times initiative gave me the opportunity and the pleasure to discuss more in-depth aspects of both our work and inspirations. This interview is the first of a new series of audio recordings called 'On The Phone With...'.

    Medusa

    I did not know Małgorzata Markiewicz before launching this initiative. Anna Jochymek recommended Małgorzata to get in touch. An artist and mother, Małgorzata lives and works in Krakow. Reading her essay 'Medusa' touched me deeply. The artistic practice of Markiewicz explores the complexity of contemporary gender dynamics in the context of the home environment, as well as broadly trying to understand society. These questions resonate in this period and are brought to the surface in the essay that Małgorzata has shared with me for The Covid Times.
