Nadia Lee Cohen casts her cinematic eye on the Jeffrey Deitch Gallery in Los Angeles in her debut US exhibition on the allures of the ordinary.

A faithful testament to artist Nadia Lee Cohen’s cinematic vision lies in the artistic ability to cast the light of cinematic allure onto quotidian life. Whether it’s Kim Kardashian, bright-eyed and big-haired in front of a retro Hollywood Hills poolside, or any number of nudist mise-en-scènes chronicling femininity in her first book Women, Cohen indulges in the hyper-realistic through her iconographic exploration of the mundane.

Last year, Jeremy Pope became the sixth actor in the whole of Tony Award history to be nominated in two categories in the same year - Best Actor in a Play for his role in Choir Boy, and Best Featured Actor in a Musical for Ain’t Too Proud. Kicking off 2020 with a Grammy nomination too, Pope has already established his name as one of the performers defining a new and more inclusive era of film and theatre. Set to star in Ryan Murphy’s buzzy new Netflix series Hollywood this May, Pope sits down with Rollacoaster to reflect on the dreams and doubts that have shaped his journey so far - from wondering if there was a space for him in Hollywood, to hoping others will see themselves in his work and know there’s space for them too.

“The new album, primarily, is about coming home - making everything full circle, encapsulating the length of the journey. It can be a bumpy road but, ultimately, I didn’t want to lose myself along the way.” On the eve of finishing his upcoming album, G-Eazy takes a moment to give me a brief education on West Coast hip hop culture - and the inspirations for his famous scores. Born Gerald Earl Gillum, only minutes into our call does the Californian native prove he’s more than just the dark, bad-boy rapper that we’ve all grown accustomed to seeing in the media.

Few could pull off the naturally breezy air that comes across as soon as I get on the phone with Olivia Dean. The east Londoner, whose uniqueness lies in her endearing relatability, tells the stories of once sunny summer days in the pub and the quirks of British culture through velvety vocals, effervescent beats and soulful piano melodies. Born and raised around Walthamstow and now currently settles south east, Dean jokes about having “gone the whole hog” of the city, before confidently adding: “I think it’s the best city in the world.”

Speaking with 17-year-old multi-hyphenate Tayahna Walcott, I’m reminded of the ever-broadening possibilities for young people to be expressive on their own terms. Walcott is no different and, in fact, stands out more than most for her impressive resume - the self-taught singer, songwriter, producer, rapper, do and model has already worked alongside brands such as Depop, Mac and Refinery29.

As joint owners, Janie and Stephen Schaffer, begin to wrap up another successful year for the recently relaunched Italian pop-culture brand, Fiorucci, we are reminded of the essence of fun and partying that epitomised the fashion brand in the seventies and eighties with a CÎROC collaboration that launched on November 12th. The two party-centred brands came together to create an exclusive bottle design as part of CÎROC‘s on-going limited edition collectable bottles. It comes as an almost natural pairing, says joint founder Janie Schaffer who sat down to ponder the spirit of Fiorucci, fostering creativity and the relevance of Fiorucci today.
