"When we approach these subjects, we ask that they select a specific 'thing' to discuss, something that has inspired them in their life and work - from person to project or place. An enduring love for Abba to Stephen King's Carrie. No two have been the same."
"Growing up far from the industry, clothes were how we moved ourselves forward, how we accessed the selves we hoped might exist. The designers behind Vaquera explain their relationship with fashion as a transformative tool for self-discovery and personal advancement."
"There is no way these pictures exist without the two of us together. Artist Roe Ethridge emphasizes the inseparable nature of creative collaboration within his relationship with Violet Conroy, demonstrating how partnership fundamentally shapes artistic output."
AnOther Magazine's flagship portrait portfolio has documented 25 years of creative excellence, featuring hundreds of influential figures across art, fashion, music, and culture. The portfolio operates on a unique premise: each subject selects a specific inspiration—whether a person, project, or place—that has shaped their life and work. Past subjects range from Patti Smith and Jennifer Lawrence to Rick Owens and Tilda Swinton, with inspirations spanning from ABBA to Stephen King's Carrie. The Spring/Summer 2026 issue celebrates this milestone with a special cover by photographer Mark Peckmezian. Featured subjects include Vaquera designers discussing fashion as self-expression, DJ Jorkes exploring artistic partnership, choreographer Florentina Holzinger highlighting dancer Trixie Cordua, and artist Roe Ethridge reflecting on creative collaboration.
