The latest issue of „Vogue Polska” looks into the theme of identity
Identity – the topic evoking extreme emotions in fashion, culture and art is the main theme of the latest issue of the magazine. Two covers of “Vogue Polska” feature Michał “Mata” Matczak and Dorota Masłowska.
“The issue of identity evokes extreme feelings. Emotions rise once words come into play. Dorota Masłowska, featured on one of the covers of the October issue of “Vogue Polska” tells Wojciech Engelking that literature is a sensitive territory. Despite the writer’s impressive literary achievements, she is constantly under criticism, especially since rap has become her new form of expression. “For my generation, she was not only a voice, but also the hope for participation in the seemingly inaccessible world”– Ina Lekiewicz writes in her editorial to the October issue.
The other cover star of the October issue is Michał “Mata” Matczak who decided to deliver a manifesto instead of a having a traditional interview. “Sometimes I view my verses as magic spells and my songs as spiritual rituals. Sometimes I rap about the worlds that are yet to come, as I believe the words help to make them come true” – he writes. “He believes that his new album will encourage young people to change the reality. Crocheted accessories appear in the cover shoot, in line with the fashion for folk trends and Slavic traditions, heralding Mata’s new image, which is an attempt at a dialogue with Polish visual identity” – announces Ina Lekiewicz.
