Kinfolk Magazine – Issue 52

Kinfolk Magazine Issue 52 (the Influence Issue) is available now on loremnotipsum.com. For The Influence Issue, Kinfolk is exploring the powerful currents that shape our world and sway our decisions: power, money, politics—and other people.

We meet Anna Sorokin, who, under her alias, Anna Delvey, manipulated a remarkable sum of money out of Manhattan’s elite. We also catch up with Kaitlin Phillips, the indie publicist whose job is to manufacture influence for her creative clients, and speak to fashion model Dennis Okwera, who, having escaped the brutality of the Lord’s Resistance Army in Uganda as a child, has since returned to spearhead a philanthropic foundation to uplift his community. Elsewhere, we discuss the upcoming presidential election with Waleed Shahid, a senior political strategist behind campaigns for Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and treat Karl Lagerfeld’s beloved cat, muse and heiress Choupette to a stylish summer vacation.

The rest of the issue returns to classic Kinfolk coverage, including interviews with influential chef Alison Roman, the French rabbi Delphine Horvilleur, opera singer Jeanine de Bique and photographer Sven Marquardt (who happens to be a doorman at Berlin’s notorious Berghain).

Kinfolk is a slow lifestyle magazine published by Ouur that explores ways for readers to simplify their lives, cultivate community and spend more time with their friends and family. Founded in 2011, Kinfolk is now the leading independent lifestyle magazine for young creative professionals and also produces international editions in Japan, China, Korea and Russia. Published quarterly, Kinfolk maintains a vibrant contributor base from Copenhagen to Cape Town. Every element of Kinfolk—the features, photography, and general aesthetics—are consistent with the way we feel entertaining should be: simple, uncomplicated, and less contrived. Kinfolk is the marriage of our appreciation for art and design and our love for spending time with family and friends.

What will define this next era of design? It’s a question we attempt to answer in Issue Fifty-One of Kinfolk—a visual masterpiece full of inspiring interiors, cutting-edge furniture, and insight from the world’s most thoughtful designers and architects. Inside, we visit 10 of the best emerging and established studios around the world and explore how design is much more than aesthetics; it’s a reflection of culture, a mirror to our values and a compass guiding us toward the future. Design can be a catalyst for social change, and a driver toward a more sustainable future.
