“I shake my head and the tiny acrobats fall like spangles, like the cool rain on another planet, down to the inside of my feet.” – Richard Hell

We live in a loud world and most of us use an inordinate amount of our energy and essence to turn this volume down. But what if we just let it be raucous?

What if, like tiny acrobats, we allowed it to fall around us and wholeheartedly embraced the messy chaos of it all?

This issue is dedicated to noise and disorder. It salutes those who live to disrupt and interrupt, anarchists who create through destruction, mavericks of modernity who live full blast with pure conviction. They rebel and resist. They know disobedience is the original virtue and they make no apologies for their persuasions. They are – Björk-like, okay with being ‘too much’, maximalists who think leopard print is a neutral and know deep within that self-actualisation means full, unbridled self-expression.

They are just out there – really out in it – living their life.

May it inspire you just as it has us to live more on the outside, or in the words of Tracey Emin (whom we honour in these pages) to look at the world and shout, "I want my time with you."

To experience the Noise and Disorder issue in its entirety this May, you can find the new issue available on newsstands from Monday 18 May 2026, and through our online shop. Find a stockist near you.
