CC:SESSIONS #1 â Jimmy Red performs Lerzi Doobha
Thereâs something off-axis about the way Jimmy Red sings â like heâs circling the center of a memory heâs not ready to name. In this first installment of CC:Sessions, he performs Lerzi Doobha, a haunting track suspended somewhere between lullaby and slow burn, filmed in a single take, with nothing but shadow and breath to hold it up.
Watch the full performance here, and let it play in the background of your next unraveling.

This spring, weâre celebrating the gentle rituals of community. The kind you craft with care â across oceans, across screens, across pixels.
Weâre hosting a dinner. A (not so) quiet gathering in a secret location in Tartosa. Surrounded by nature, machines and a pinch of salt.
Weâre inviting you to join us â or rather, your Sims. If youâd like one of your Sims to attend our Spring Dinner party, send them our way. Outfits are up to you. So is the story they carry.
Submit your Sim to our inbox (or reach out on Tumblr to coordinate).
Deadline: April 28.
There are rooms we enter not to inhabit, but to reflect. Not mirrors, but surfacesâcold, humming, indifferent. The kind that warp you slightly if you stare long enough.
Here, movement is sculpture. Every limb held in contradiction: tension and grace, surrender and stance. We arenât telling a storyâweâre undoing one. The posture of waiting, the gesture of restraint. The sublime unease of being witnessed mid-thought.
Phoebe Porterâs debut single, âLobay Su Da,â feels like staying up too late and thinking about someone you shouldnât miss.
Itâs slow, spare, and soft around the edgesâbuilt on gauzy guitars, muted drums, and a voice that barely rises above a whisper. Thereâs no big chorus, no payoff. Just a steady, low ache that settles in and stays there.
Porterâs songwriting is subtle, but sharp. She doesnât spell anything out, but sheâs not trying to be distant either. Sheâs writing from the in-betweenâthe part of the story after the ending, when itâs just you and the silence.
âLobay Su Daâ isnât trying to be a hit. Itâs trying to be honest. And thatâs exactly why it works.
Thereâs a particular way ClĂŠo Saint-Martin speaks. Not fast, not slow. Every sentence is a thread, weaving itself into the next with the inevitability of someone who has thought these thoughts before but has never quite arranged them in this exact way.
Saint-Martin is, in many ways, an intellectual of another eraâdetached yet intimate, cool but deeply invested. Her essays dissect digital identity, media saturation, and the quiet death of privacy in the age of hyper-connectivity. She is not nostalgic, nor is she apocalyptic. Instead, she studies the present with a scalpel, carving out meaning from the noise. "We think we are archiving our lives," she says, lighting a cigarette that she never actually smokes, "but really, we are just accelerating their disappearance."
INTERVIEW AFTER THE CUT
CC: Youâve written extensively about the way people construct their identities online. Do you think weâve lost a sense of authenticity?
CLĂO: Authenticity is a myth. It always has been. What we call âourselvesâ is simply a collection of choices, performances, and borrowed expressions. The internet has only made this more transparent. Now, we can watch ourselves being constructed in real time.
CC: So you donât see it as something entirely negative?
CLĂO: Not at all. Iâm not interested in moralizing about technology. What fascinates me is how people engage with it. Weâve moved beyond simply curating an imageâwe are now curating our own memories, our own histories. Do you ever notice how people document a moment before they even experience it? Itâs like they need proof that it happened before they allow themselves to feel it.
CC: But does that change the experience itself?
CLĂO: (Pauses.) Yes. But that doesnât mean it makes it less real. The question isnât whether something is authenticâthe question is: what do we gain by believing that it is?
CC: You often write about disappearance. Do you ever feel the urge to vanish completely?
CLĂO: (Laughs.) I think about it constantly. The problem is, you canât truly disappear anymore. Even absence leaves a trace. People notice when youâre gone. Your silence becomes data. I find that deeply unsettling.
CC: And yet, youâre here, speaking about it.
CLĂO: Yes. But perhaps this, too, is just another construction.

Some people demand attention the second they enter a room. Isla Novak isnât one of them. She doesnât need to. Sheâs the kind of person you notice after a whileâwhen you realize she hasnât said much, but somehow, everything bends toward her. Itâs not shyness. Itâs not mystery. Itâs like sheâs tuned into a different frequency, one most people canât hear.
When we meet, sheâs leaning against a window, fingers tracing the condensation on the glass. âI forget to answer texts,â she says before I even ask a question. âNot because I donât care. I just⌠get lost in my own head.â
INTERVIEW + PICTURES AFTER THE CUT
CC: What usually keeps you there?
ISLA: Everything. Nothing. I could spend hours thinking about why certain colors shouldnât go together but somehow do. Or wondering what my life would be like if Iâd taken a different train last week. I live in tangents.
CC: Does that ever make it hard to focus?
ISLA: (Smiles.) Maybe. But I think focus is overrated. People get so fixated on one path, one identity. I like being a little scattered.
CC: You move through different spacesâfashion, art, music. Do you feel like you belong anywhere?
ISLA: Not really. But I like that. It means I can leave whenever I want.
CC: That sounds like youâre always ready to disappear.
ISLA: I like knowing that I could. Like, I love what I do, but I donât want to be trapped in it. I could drop everything tomorrow and start over somewhere nobody knows me. Thatâs kind of comforting.
CC: Do you think youâll ever actually do that?
ISLA: (Laughs.) Probably not. But I like to keep the option open. I think itâs why I donât overshare online. People think they know you when they donât. Iâd rather keep a little distance.
CC: You seem hard to impress. Is there anything that actually excites you?
ISLA: Newness. Something Iâve never seen before, never thought of before. It could be a weird film, a collection that makes no sense at first, a song with a chord progression that hits different. The second I feel like Iâve figured everything out, I get bored. Thatâs when I know I need to move on.
CC: Does anything scare you?
ISLA: (Pauses.) Not being able to change. Waking up one day and realizing Iâve become someone I donât recognize, and I canât undo it.
The camera barely catches her. Not because sheâs hard to photograph, but because she doesnât try to be photographed. A turn of the head, a flicker of light across her skinâeffortless, in motion, already somewhere else.
The lights were low, the bass was deep, and the right people were in the room. Views over San Myshuno, violet glow, glasses clinking over whispered plans. The night moved fast, blurred at the edges, pulsing with something bigger than just a party.
Someone turned the dance floor into a runway. Someone else sealed a collaboration over a spilled drink. The city outside kept spinning, but in here, it didnât matter. This was ours.
I donât remember how it ended. I just know it began. CC:MAGAZINE is here.
Lorenzo Vecchi doesnât do neat. His hair always falls slightly out of place, his clothes have that lived-in quality that only comes with knowing exactly how much to care while pretending not to. Heâs the kind of person who lets a conversation breathe, who lets silence settle without the need to fill it. The industry keeps trying to pin him downââthe next big thing,â âthe last real leading man,â âa method actor without the bullshitââbut he remains slippery, uninterested in the labels.
âI disappear between projects,â he says, adjusting the rings on his fingers. âI think it makes people nervous. They want actors to be present, to be accessible. But I donât want to be someone you can access.â
Heâs selective. Not in the Del Sol Valley way, where actors talk about âpassion projectsâ while still cashing franchise checks, but in the way of someone who genuinely means it. If heâs in a film, itâs because something in the script stuck under his skin. If heâs at an event, itâs because he had nothing better to do. And if heâs sitting here now, itâs because, for whatever reason, he decided to show up.
INTERVIEW + PICTURES
CC: Youâve been called elusive. Do you agree?
LORENZO: I think people mistake boredom for mystery. Iâm just easily bored. If something doesnât feel necessary, I donât do it.
CC: Thatâs rare in this industry.
LORENZO: Because this industry is obsessed with visibility. Always being seen, always being available. But the best actors? The ones who last? They know when to disappear.
CC: So you like disappearing?
LORENZO: I like being missed.
CC: Your next film, Veloce, is already making waves. What drew you to it?
LORENZO: That feeling of moving too fast and knowing you canât stop. Itâs not just about speedâitâs about control, about momentum. About wanting the crash but refusing to hit the brakes.
CC: That sounds like how you live your life.
LORENZO: Maybe. Or maybe I just know how to make it look that way.
He stretches his arms over the back of his chair, tilting his head just enough for the light to catch his jaw. He doesnât poseâhe exists in the frame. Every movement is effortless, every expression calculated without trying.
âYou canât teach presence,â he says as the shutter clicks. âYou either have it, or you donât.â
He doesnât wait for a response. He knows he has it.

SAN MYSHUNO FASHION WEEK: THE ART OF DRESSING IN MOTION
Opening picture: Slouchy, undone, yet impossibly chic. The kind of layering that makes an impact without trying too hard. Left: Suit and shoes by @sentate, bag by @seoulsoul-sims. Right: cardigan by @ashwwa, pants by @its-adrienpastel.
Not all runways have spotlights. In San Myshuno, the real spectacle unfolds between crosswalks and cobblestone alleys, where style is unchoreographed, raw, and instinctive. This season, the streets breathed a new kind of eleganceâone that rejects effortlessness as a trend and instead embraces fashion as a deliberate act. Tailored coats sliced through the wind like architecture in motion, while bold injections of color fractured the city's muted palette, reminding us that dressing is, above all, an expression of control.

The dialogue between structure and fluidity played out in every silhouette. Power suiting, dissected and reimagined, became a study in balanceâoversized yet restrained, sharp yet undone. Texture ruled the streets, from quilted puffers swollen with intention to knitted layers that felt less like clothing and more like second skin. Accessories werenât whispers but declarations: metallic nails that caught the light like polished chrome, sculptural handbags that defied function, shoes that played with contrast, rhythm, and rebellion.
Here, fashion is not dictated. It is lived, challenged, and reconstructed in real time. The city itself is a collaborator, shaping movement, mood, and meaning. What remains is not just a collection of garments, but a visual languageâspoken fluently by those who understand that dressing is never just dressing. Itâs a statement, a disruption, a frame in an ever-evolving film. These are the looks that defined the moment.

Rebellion is rooted in nature. A flower does not ask where it belongsâit claims space, stretches toward the sun, and thrives in the wild. It is soft, yet unyielding. Fragile, yet untouchable. This season, elegance sheds its restraint and surrenders to the elements.
Amidst fields thick with untamed blossoms, silhouettes emergeâsharpened lapels cutting through the haze of petals, fluid draping caught in the breeze. Formality is misplaced, yet perfectly at home. A crisp white suit dissolves into golden dusk, organza folds mimic the delicate chaos of nature itself. There is no contradiction, only coexistence.
This is refinement without restriction. Beauty without boundaries. Romance turned raw. Flowers bloom without permissionâso why should we?
