The June issue features a special deep dive into the Met Gala. Gracing the cover is an archival piece from #SOMARTA, created by #TamaeHirokawa. Under the theme "Portraits of Bodily Beauty," this issue explores the intricate relationship between fashion and art.

Inside, you will find portraits capturing divine styles—perfectly befitting this year's Met Gala dress code, "Fashion is Art"—alongside visual stories that celebrate a diverse range of body shapes. Furthermore, we spotlight designers who have drawn inspiration directly from the human body itself, including Elsa Schiaparelli, Issey Miyake, Miuccia Prada, and Rei Kawakubo.

We also present an exclusive interview with Martin Margiela—a figure currently generating significant buzz thanks to his first-ever solo exhibition in Japan. This must-read feature delves into the creative process and profound philosophy of the artist known for producing works that are at once serene and radical.

Additionally, the issue includes an interview with Yuina Kuroshima, who stars in the film *Mirai*—directed by Takahisa Zeze and based on the novel by Kanae Minato.
