In a Sunday Times Magazine interview this weekend model Ricki Hall told a journalist that he takes his fashion cues from children and the homeless. Karl Smith considers why it might actually not be okay to transfer the aesthetics of necessity and marginalisation to a position of extreme privilege

Had Quasimodo lived his life in a dark, mirrorless sanctuary there's a good chance he'd have considered him self the Paul Newman of Notre-Dame. But, alas, it was not to be.

Extracted from the novel Binary Star, published earlier this year by Two Dollar Radio, Sarah Gerard's prose, both haunted and haunting, possesses a celestial quality seemingly drawn from the beauty of fluttering, astronomical luminescence and the terror of what feels a near-immeasurable vastness. In Binary Star personal reality becomes the vacuum and the horror of the metaphysical numinous abject. (Photograph by Josh Wool)
