Description
In this issue of The Edge my stories trace how visionaries bend time, technology, and identity to build their own futures. Readers meet Rosa Aranzazu Lykiardopoulos, the “queen of inflatables,” whose Tales from the Underground turns crowded commutes into glossy, AI-assisted inner monologues, where humour, neurosis, and digital self-distortion share the same carriage. Marcus Tomlinson revisits the restless experiments that carried him from 1990s London fashion imagery to time-bending installations and poetic films for Hussein Chalayan, Issey Miyake, and George Harrison’s gardens. Heron Preston’s narrative unfolds as a rise–fall–rebirth: from cult street-photography blog to global brand, through corporate entrapment, to buying back his own name and rebuilding on his own terms. Finally, Quentin Pontonnier’s Tant d’Avenir shows a skater-turned-goldsmith forging brutal, futuristic jewellery from old coins in a growing Paris atelier, treating entrepreneurship as a daily act of courage.
