Fucking Young / 24

HEARTBREAKER

 

From crushes to feeling crushed, we take on the Heartbreakers in our new issue of Fucking Young. “Heartbreak affects us as individuals and as a society. War, global warming, poverty, injustice, violence… These are realities that make us feel powerless, frustrated, and angry.” – Adriano Batista, Editor-in-Chief

The cover shoot, shot on location in Los Angeles by Cole Fawcett and styled Yashua Simmons, sees Vinnie Hacker – model, pro-gamer, voiceover artist, entrepreneur, and film actor – channel his famously unfiltered fashion sense. Continuing the explorative theme, are budding actors Freddie Dennis and Sami Outalbali. How can we turn powerlessness into strength, frustration into success, and anger into hope? One possible answer is creation. Elsewhere in the issue, we explore the complexities of the heart through conversations with Alexandre Mattiussi, Gauthier Borsarello, Jacques Agbobly, and artist Robin Kid.

Creation emerges as a way of expressing, channeling our energy, searching for meaning, of connecting with others. Contributing photographers interpretations include Alan Marty, Alejandro Madrid, Andy Dyo, Cris Cerdeira, Isaac Calpe, Manu Jaime, Mark Yareham, Michiel Meewis, Olivia Ghalioungui, Paul Hempstead, and Sarang Gupta.

"FUCKING YOUNG" originated as an inspiring platform centered around youthful aesthetics derived from masculine perspectives. Their freedom enabled a fusion of established and emerging artists, facilitating the latter in reaching their audience. This synergy, initially fueled by a passion for the arts, has evolved into actively promoting, sponsoring, and collaborating in the creation of artistic content. The endeavor has expanded to include a printed magazine, celebrating the community's creativity and seeking to enhance their imprint in the contemporary youthful hemisphere.
