Article by Juna Lewis Part I: The Renaissance of Raw Masculinity The video starts simply enough: A man in his early fifties adjusts his collar in front of the camera, his movements deliberate and unhurried, each transition is smooth like butter. His pressed white shirt, perfectly tailored vest, and the subtle glint of a pocket watch chain paint a picture of a bygone era. But this isn't a period piece – it's a TikTok video with 2.3 million views and counting. Welcome to 2025, where yesterday's man is tomorrow's revolution. "I dress this way because this is who I am," declares Damien Broderick with his Irish lilt, whose @damienbroderick has exploded to 1.5 million TikTok followers, 2 million Instagram followers, in 2024. "I'm not here to impress anyone. I'm not here to follow trends. This is how my father dressed, and his father before him. There's power in that continuity." And power might just

By NFM Magazine Okay bestie, grab your favorite comfort drink (mine's a lavender latte with oat milk, don't judge), and let's have a real talk about mental health in 2025. Because let me tell you – the game has CHANGED, and your girl is here to spill all the tea about how technology is revolutionizing the therapy game. When Your Therapist Lives in Your Phone (And We're Not Mad About It!) So there I was, ugly crying at 2 AM because my situationship just posted another cryptic Instagram story (we've all been there), when my roommate introduced me to something that literally changed my life: digital therapeutics. I know, sounds fancy, right? But stick with me here. Remember when we had to wait weeks for a therapy appointment, only to spend half our rent money on a single session? Girl, those days are GONE. Welcome to the future where mental health support is literally

By Sirikit Jiraprapakul In the soft glow of a Bangkok studio, a dress emerges that shouldn't exist. Its patterns swirl like storm clouds caught in twilight, its textures shift like living organisms, and its silhouette defies not just fashion conventions, but seemingly gravity itself. This isn't the work of a fevered designer's midnight sketching – it's the product of artificial intelligence, interpreted through the fearless vision of Siriporn Chaiwat, a graduating student at Bangkok University's Digital Fashion Initiative. "When I first saw what the AI could imagine with my prompts," Siriporn whispers, her fingers tracing the impossible patterns on her tablet, "I cried. Not because it was beautiful – though it was – but because suddenly, there were no walls around my creativity. The boundaries had dissolved." Welcome to fashion's new frontier, where algorithms dream in fabric and thread, and a new generation of designers is turning digital dreams into runway reality. The Digital

How GASHI is a Grounding Force in the Industry and What He Plans to do Next Interview by Zara Rawoof GASHI is a force to be reckoned with. The rapper’s energy may have been the byproduct of recently coming off his European tour, where he hit 21 different cities in just under a month. But even when GASHI is home- whether that’s his place in L.A. or his native NYC roots- the artist attracts millions of monthly listeners on Spotify alone. Racking up a combined total of 3.4 million followers on TikTok and Instagram, GASHI’s online persona is just as enticing as his music. Aside from aesthetically pleasing cover photos and the sleek concert flicks that adorn his feed, it’s the artist’s fan interactions that draw in such a massive audience. GASHI brought his Uber driver on stage this November, rallying a festival crowd together to cheer on Ted, aka Uber Ted.

Article by Wynn Wilder  In the world of fashion where creativity meets craftsmanship, Walace Style emerges as a beacon of innovation and self-expression. From his beginnings on a farm, far from the bustling fashion capitals, Walace’s journey to becoming a celebrated couturier and makeup artist has been nothing short of extraordinary. Growing up in a family of artisans—his mother and four aunts all seamstresses and hairdressers—Walace found his passion for creation early. Despite societal norms, which dictated what boys should and shouldn’t do, Walace’s artistic spirit thrived in the quiet corners of his childhood home. “I was always the introverted one,” he reminisces, “taking solace in art and photography, even if I shied away from family cameras at gatherings.” His path to Seattle, however, was serendipitous. After a challenging stint in San Francisco, where work opportunities faltered, a leap of faith brought him to the Emerald City. “I arrived with little more than

By Wynn Wilder  Malak Koura is a name synonymous with elegance, talent, and determination. Taking time out of her busy schedule to sit down with Nfm Magazine, the Egyptian actress opened up about her journey, her passion for storytelling, and the cultural legacy she’s proud to represent. At just 25, Malak has already cemented herself as one of Egypt’s most beloved stars. "I started acting as a child because I was being bullied in school," she shares candidly.

From there, it just took off." Malak’s journey from child star to household name has been one of resilience and reinvention. "Egypt is beautiful—the land of the pyramids," she says with unmistakable pride. "Egyptians are incredibly welcoming and love to make tourists feel at home. I want to

Article by Iona Lewis Fast fashion has been dressing the world on the cheap for years, but at what cost? Behind the glossy storefronts and endless scrolling of $5 T-shirts and trendy knockoffs lies a hidden crisis—one of environmental devastation, human exploitation, and unspeakable waste. The question isn’t just, “Can we afford it?” It’s, “Can the world survive it?” The Shocking Reality of Fast Fashion The Environmental Catastrophe A Water Crisis: The fast fashion industry consumes 93 billion cubic meters of water annually—enough to meet the needs of five million people. Meanwhile, rivers near textile factories in countries like Bangladesh and India are turning toxic with untreated dye runoff. Mountains of Waste: Globally, 85% of all textiles end up in landfills each year. That’s the equivalent of one garbage truck of clothes every second. And because many garments are made of synthetic materials, they’ll take 200+ years to decompose, leaching harmful chemicals into
