This is the Winter/Spring 25/26 edition of glossy men’s fashion title Hero, themed ‘Future Flux’. In the editors words: ‘Future Flux is the endless and awe-inspiring refracted possibilities of the human mind probing, reinterpreting and regenerating a world through its own organic and unpredictable synapses.’

‘Him’ lead Tyriq Withers is this issue’s smouldering cover star, featured in conversation with the film’s director, Justin Tipping, inside. The pair discuss Tyriq’s professional football background, as well as the mentally and physically challenging transition from supporting to starring role. Alongside the usual dose of men’s fashion editorials, you’ll also find interviews with Alvina Chen, founder of the innovative athletics performance brand Feldspar; sculpture artist Alicja Kwade; Oscar-winning French composer Nicolas Becker and producer Lexx; Chicago-based indie rock band Lifeguard; LA Academy Museum of Motion Pictures curator Doris Berger and timely filmmaker Alex Rivera; plus, plenty more from creatives using their craft to pursue a better future.
