The Face #22

The Face #22 – Cult Classic

Since its 1980 debut, The Face has remained a defining force in style, culture, and storytelling. Issue 22 – Spring 2025 – is The Cult Classic Issue, capturing the cultural pulse with the fearless energy the magazine is known for.

Inside: a powerful lineup featuring Clairo, John Malkovich, and Vybz Kartel, alongside stories on rising women stoners, barbering apprentices, and an ice hockey-inspired fashion editorial. Most poignantly, three Gazan voices offer raw, personal accounts of life under occupation—proof of The Face’s continued commitment to amplifying real, global perspectives.

On the final page, editor Matthew Whitehouse speaks with founding editor Nick Logan, reflecting on 45 years of the magazine’s legacy in the context of The Face: Culture Shift, the landmark exhibition currently at London’s National Portrait Gallery.

Bold, brilliant, and boundary-pushing as ever—this issue is a collector’s piece for fans of fashion, music, politics, and print culture.
