Daphne Guinness is a creative polymath with a mission to produce and foster enduring art. She has worked with some of this century's most esteemed designers and photographers and is widely considered an authority on fashion, notably couture. She holds a unique position - straddling roles as an acclaimed model, collector, commentator, performer, and muse. She is perhaps best known for her work with photographers David La Chappelle, Steven Klein, and Nick Knight / SHOWstudio, and her close working and personal relationships with the late Alexander McQueen and Isabella Blow. Guinness spent a nomadic childhood between London, Paris, Ireland, and Cadaques. Aged 19, she relinquished plans to train as an opera singer at London’s Guildhall, when life took an unexpected turn towards marriage and children. For ten years she lived with her family between London, Greece, and New York. She divorced in 1999. In 2012, Guinness auctioned 100 items from her personal wardrobe, the proceeds of which she used to establish <a href="http://www.isabellablowfoundation.com/" target="_blank" style="text-decoration-line: underline;">The Isabella Blow Foundation</a>. During its tenure, the charity raised funds for mental health initiatives and provided annual scholarships for aspiring designers at Central Saint Martin’s College of Art and Design. Since concluding the charity in 2021, Guinness has launched and funded two additional annual scholarships at Central Saint Martins, the duration of which will be ongoing.&nbsp;&nbsp; After the passing of close friends Blow and McQueen, followed by the loss of her brother to cancer, Daphne reassessed everything. She felt an urge to return to music - the passion that had dominated her early life. Withdrawing to a studio in Ireland, she wrote and recorded songs to process her grief. After hearing a sample of her work, David Bowie recommended her to his long-time producer, Tony Visconti. Another chapter of her life thus began. The product was her debut album&nbsp;Optimist In Black&nbsp;- released to critical acclaim in 2016. Guinness has since recorded a further two albums produced by Visconti.&nbsp;Daphne and The Golden Chord, a personal and unflinching album, was released in 2018 and marked her progression towards a more glam rock direction. At once playful and confessional, Daphne’s music is an extension of her most inner thoughts. She has said “I began in music and now I’ve ended up there… I can’t sing a single word I don’t believe in.” Her most recent album,&nbsp;Revelations, explores a French-flavored disco sound and was released in 2021, to a host of strong reviews.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.anothermag.com/design-living/10524/daphne-guinness-on-finding-a-voice-through-musichttp://" target="_blank" style="text-decoration-line: underline;">AnOther Magazine&nbsp;said of it - "The silent muse has found her voice, and it sings."</a> In addition to her music, Guinness continues to produce art, design, and essays. She remains open to collaborative projects.

Rules are meant to be broken, and limits exist to be pushed. DON TOLIVER&nbsp;travels at light speed beyond all barriers, borders, and boundaries. The Houston, TX multi-platinum singer, songwriter, and artist morphed from an acclaimed underground curiosity into an undeniable and uncontainable superstar with an incomparable style dipped in hip-hop gloss, intergalactic R&amp;B, future-minded pop, and pure rockstar attitude. Even in a game led by outliers, no one sounds, looks, or feels quite like Don does. It’s why he’s landed successive hits, toppled charts, sold out shows everywhere, and collaborated with everyone from Kanye West to Justin Bieber multiple times. However, he never slows down. In fact, Don’s a few steps ahead again in 2022 and onward. We’re all just trying to catch up… “I’m always trying to push the limits as much as possible,” he affirms. “I’m evolving all the way as an artist. I’m completely embracing Don Toliver. I was able to soak up everything—all of the knowledge from Cactus Jack and our family members. I’ve gotten inspired and evolved. I understand where my creativity is at right now, but I’m taking it to the next level.” He has consistently leveled up since emerging in 2017. He crashed the Top 10 of the Billboard Top 200 with his 2020 full-length debut, Heaven Or Hell. It eventually picked up a gold certification and spawned anthems—“After Party” and “No Idea”—as well as the gold-certified “Cardigan.” In between collaborations with Eminem, Nas, and Rico Nasty, he powered Internet Money’s smash “Lemonade” (feat. Don Toliver, NAV, &amp; Gunna) and “His &amp; Hers” (feat. Lil Uzi Vert, Don Toliver, &amp; Gunna). However, he reached new critical and commercial heights with his 2021 sophomore offering, Life Of A Don. It bowed at #2 on the Billboard Top 200 and boasted “What You Need.” Inciting tastemaker applause from Rolling Stone, NME, Complex, and more, Pitchfork attested “The Texas rapper’s latest album sounds so damn good,” and Clash dubbed it “a fantastic album that reinforces his status.” Not to mention, Kanye recruited him for “Moon” (feat. Kid Cudi &amp; Don Toliver) from Donda and “Broken Road” on Donda 2. Plus, Pusha T sought him out for “Scrape It Off” (feat. Don Toliver &amp; Lil Uzi Vert) off It’s Almost Dry. Following “Don’t Go” with Bieber and Skrillex, he reunited with Bieber on “Honest” in 2022, storming the Top Triller U.S. Chart at #1. Hitting the road, his first headline run The Life Of A Don Tour proved life-changing, to say the least. “What the first tour did was crazy,” he observes. “It really gave me time to sit back and analyze all of my albums together. It allowed me to keep the torch for the next vibe I’m creating.” At the same time, he continued to write and record music at a prolific pace, not only plotting his next era, but actively shaping it behind-the-scenes throughout 2022. One collaborator enabled him to dive even deeper though… “Ye showed me what I really need to know in order to move forward,” he notes. “He was a big inspiration. I’ve learned how to be an all-around artist for myself.” With more music, shows, and surprises on the horizon, Don Toliver invites the rest of us into the future with him now. “My experiences have brought me to a point where I’m ready to go full blast,” he leaves off. “I’m building something new. I want to keep the evolution going and make music for dreamers who want to reach a higher dimension. I’m speaking to anyone who has a different type of dream. I’m trying to spread love and creativity through timeless music.”

Chicago raised and New York infused, Honey Dijon has a folio reaching beyond her extensive global nightclub bookings. She’s gate-crashed into artistry, sociology, fashion, and the rights of the individual. She recalls a childhood being bullied for being gender non-conforming and how art and fashion provided safe spaces. Honey Dijon came of age in the mid-80's, when house music burst out of her city. Launching her character and unleashing her unstoppable spirit, Honey Dijon - powered by a borderless intuition - became a mainstay of the city’s underground club scene as well as the city’s fashion industry. Honey Dijon’s encyclopedic knowledge of all things fashion-related - from her impressive magazine collection (she has every issue of i-D, W, and Vogue Italia&nbsp;from the moment that Steven Meisel’s photographs first graced its pages) to her ability to name-drop niche designers - would be intimidating if not for her affable demeanor.&nbsp; If you’ve ever witnessed one of Honey Dijon’s sets, you’ll know that she adopts a borderless approach to DJing. Her emotionally earnest mixing has earned her fans from Berghain to Burberry, the latter being a testament to her reputation as one of fashion’s favorite DJs. But that genre-blurring ethos extends beyond her musical career: in 2019, it was announced that Dijon would be collaborating with Comme des Garçons on a new brand, "Honey Fucking Dijon".&nbsp; As a recording artist, she helmed an audacious debut record, 2017’s The Best of Both Worlds.&nbsp; In 2022, Honey released Black Girl Magic, her highly anticipated sophomore album. An artist in every sense of the word, across 15 tracks of attitude, energy, heart and community, Honey demonstrates a broad range of disciplines and influences, enlisting A-List collaborators such as Channel Tres, Eve, Pabllo Vittar, Josh Caffe, Mike Dunn, and more for an unmissable, boundary-pushing LP. Honey won her first Grammy (Best Dance/Electronic Album) for producing two records on Beyonce's chart-topping album Renaissance, redefining what it is to be a DJ. She&nbsp;remixed Beyonce's lead single “Break My Soul”, and is also working on new music with Madonna. Now unapologetically expressing her own sound on Black Girl Magic, she unveils the next chapter of her development as a producer and songwriter. Honey Dijon is a social reference, its goal is to transmit all musical knowledge and creative energy to queer, coloured, and marginalized people from society to make them visible. Identity, freedom, and self-actualization reflect their inspiration from taking over worldwide known clubs - also called free zones - where we can all become our most intimate aspiration.&nbsp;

VARSHA THAPA is a New York based singer-songwriter and model, born and raised in Kathmandu, Nepal. Varsha’s desire to share her music carried her to New York in 2013 and her passions blossomed amidst the city’s creative energy. In 2018, Varsha co-founded her first band, <a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/56f6flnqe3x1mDqHSCwAWy?si=nonCz3zVQ-2dLE-lnDb-oA&amp;nd=1" target="_blank">Sita Virgin</a>, with guitarist Rob Mastrianni and together, they released two singles - “<a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/2ulsliYdb0P8jSKNsu3r65?si=7877615408f5498d&amp;nd=1" target="_blank">Purpose</a>” and “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00Qi9cvm_UY&amp;ab_channel=VarshaThapa" target="_blank">Shattered</a>”.
