Fifteen years ago Danaé Salazar and Fabiola Zamora founded the magazine Revista 192 in Mexico City. Every time I visited I would pick up a copy because it embodied so many things I loved about print magazines:  Beautiful photography, compelling editorial that felt reflective of current culture and the sheer size of it. It felt good to have it and to hold it. We caught up with the founders with their company mascots (Danaé's dogs who come into the office, too) to discuss personal style, their journey into editorial and the story of how they came to found Revista 192—a print magazine!—when everyone...

I first met Pamela when she was the editor in chief of L'Officiel Mexico. She and I connected through various creative projects and she remains someone I trust and admire enormously. She also happens to be my favorite photographer, having shot several campaigns for us all on her iPhone. She's currently the Director of Public Relations for Tiffany here in CDMX and everything she does, she does with an elevated eye that sees the natural beauty in every person, place and object she comes across. It is an honor to introduce you to someone I admire so much.   Hi...

Kettie and I met through a mutual friend not too long ago—but since the first time we chatted I found her to be such a soulful and intimate person. As a film and image maker, Kettie's career feels like it follows her demeanor, in many ways. She's lived in many places across the globe, but currently lives and works in the Condesa neighborhood of Mexico City. I'll let her take it from here...   Can you tell me where you grew up and how you came to live Mexico City? My story begins in Jacmel, a beach town with colonial houses painted in pastel hues,...

Adeline and I met within my first two months of relocating to Mexico City and our friendship has been one of the most defining relationships during my time here—and I like to think my life at large. She's been a steady collaborator, confidante, source of inspiration and dear friend. Born in Monaco and living much of her adult life in London, she made Mexico home after meeting her husband, Mexican sculptor Pablo de Laborde Lascaris. Adeline's work is visceral: Organic textures seem to take on a new life under her eye giving them a refinement and strength that feels intrinsic to the way she...

Something I don't really talk about often (because, honestly, it embarrasses me!) is the loneliness I've felt since relocating to Mexico City from New York four and a half years ago. I can't quite put my finger on where the shame comes from because it seems like an entirely logical and understandable feeling, uprooting your life and moving to a new country. But I suppose maybe the embarrassment comes from the fact that, in many ways, my loneliness is self-imposed. It's my own paradoxical nature that seems to isolate myself by choice. So by extension of this, I deeply admire...
