Kinfolk – Issue 53

Introducing Issue 53: Kinfolk has published a Korean edition of the magazine for the last 10 years, run a community space in the heart of Seoul for the last five, and, more recently, has hosted a slate of pop-ups in some of the city’s most enthralling neighbourhoods. Inside Issue Fifty-Three, our team draws on this deep-rooted connection to reveal the slower side of Seoul. You’ll find over forty pages dedicated to the best the Korean capital has to offer: our favourite neighbourhoods, coffee shops and bakeries, natural wine bars, restaurants, local fashion brands, museums and galleries, plus surprising information you won’t find elsewhere — like the best place for late-night fried chicken. Elsewhere in the issue, we visit climates more tropical. In West Africa, we tour a handcrafted, bohemian home in Lagos that has been lovingly preserved. Farther down the coast, in Abidjan, we meet Rym Beydoun — founder of the underground fashion label Super Yaya. And our fashion editorial, shot in Sao Paulo by photographers Mar Vin, captures siblings Mahany and Danyllo Pery striking poses that nod to the work of Malian artist Malick Sidibe. 192 pages, offset-printed and perfect bound, full color on uncoated and coated paper. Printed in United Kingdom.
