ANDRE SAVARIA - ON GRAFITTI

An "icon" is not merely a celebrity, but an individual who embodies a way of life by upholding their aesthetic sensibilities and values. This issue of NEPTUNE focuses on this question, featuring figures with unique perspectives in the worlds of fashion, art, design, architecture, and craft.

The opening section features Chatsworth House, one of England's most magnificent stately homes, and the 11th Duchess of Devonshire, Deborah Cavendish, photographed by master architectural photographer François Halard. Set in a residence preserved by the Cavendish family for over 450 years, a unique world unfolds where British aristocratic culture and contemporary art intersect. This section carefully portrays the aesthetic sense and life built by one woman, interspersed with episodes about her interactions with Lucian Freud and stories related to Chatsworth.

Additionally, this issue includes numerous creators and brands active on the front lines of fashion, art, architecture, jewelry, and design, such as Lauren Hutton, Dries Van Noten, Joseph Dirand, Jacques Garcia, The Row, Saint Laurent, Boucheron, and Hauser & Wirth. Through their respective expressions, the magazine comprehensively explores the meaning of an "icon."

Composed of beautiful photographs and sophisticated layouts, this magazine is a distillation of NEPTUNE's unique worldview, which interprets luxury not merely as a style but as a culture and philosophy. It is a cultural magazine recommended for those who wish to gain a deep understanding of the contemporary creative scene.
