In this episode of What We Make, we sit down with the duo behind the cult publication Sixteen Magazine; Xavier Encinas, Founder and Creative Director, and Victoire Simonney, Fashion Director and Stylist. Xavier is also the founder of the multidisciplinary consultancy XES, and Victoire is one of the most respected stylists working today, with a portfolio that spans M Le Monde, Dazed, Double, Vogue, WSJ, and campaigns for houses like Chanel, Dior, Cartier, and Louis Vuitton.

Sixteen is a biannual print magazine that pairs commissioned fashion and documentary photography with carefully selected archival work. In our conversation, Xavier and Victoire share how Sixteen came to life, what drives their curatorial decisions, and how they define the kind of image that’s worthy of print. We also explore the launch of The Sixteen Film Institute, a cinematic extension of their world that continues their commitment to thoughtful, independent storytelling.

Maya Golyshkina is a self-taught, Russian-born performance artist who didn’t wait for the perfect materials or the perfect moment to start creating. From a shared bedroom in Moscow, she began building handmade sets and surreal images using whatever she could find from cling film, cardboard, even eggs. Her playful, unpolished works soon caught the eye of fashion houses like Marc Jacobs and Balenciaga, launching a practice rooted in resilience, resourcefulness, and a refusal to wait for permission.

We talk about growing up under pressure, the power of satire, and how humour can be a radical creative force.

In this episode of What We Make, I sit down with Tsunaina, the British–Nepali model and musician whose haunting voice and singular visual style have captivated audiences around the world. First known for her striking presence in images by Tim Walker and Paolo Roversi, Tsunaina has since stepped into a new realm: one of music, performance, and richly layered storytelling. We met in a recording studio in London, where her quiet poise and eloquence made a lasting impression. In our conversation, Tsunaina reflects on the theatrical nature of her work, the evolution of her creative voice, and the power of building a world that feels entirely her own.

Bold, confident, and uncompromising in her artistic vision, Tsunaina speaks to what it means to remain authentic while carving out space in the public eye.
