The Room never fails to send us into a frenzy with their bi-annual issues filled with a uniquely Hungarian perspective on all things fashion and culture. The inventive gem dazzled us with their 13th issue and now they’re back and better than ever. With style icon Tilda Swinton gracing the cover of no. 14 the magazine takes things to the next level – the focus is still on avant-garde style and arresting imagery, but the talents featured are truly top notch. Inside you’ll find thought provoking interviews with legendary photographer Nan Goldin, a look at compelling Australian designer Dion Lee‘s deceptively simple separates, a talk with pioneering fashion theoretician, Valerie Steele and a host of editorials that merge creativity and chic into a seamless package. Enter The Room and enjoy this taste of all the issue has to offer.

“I made a decision when I was a kid. I knew that the wrong things were kept private – in other words, the things that matter were not allowed to be talked about. In American society the gossip principle is ‘Don’t let the neighbors know.’ And I wanted to know what was going on in the neighbors’ house. And I wanted to talk about what was going on in my life.”

“I think one man’s comfort is another man’s discomfort. For me, it’s so unexotic, this idea of accepting the difficulties of whatever – being a mother and just finding it difficult. I think I’m quite good at finding things difficult.”
