lorenia//"finery"
Lorenia has a taste for fine things, and shows some of them off today with a saucy look on her face that unabashedly says ‘if you’ve got it, flaunt it!’

stkapotamous//"miniscule"
This folio has all of the tiny attention to detail which is characteristic of the work of artists like Bjork or Mariko Mori, who layer little tiny things on top of one another to create a sort of collage. Stkapotamous makes use of all the little worlds that comprise her existence, reigning in our perception to notice such specificities.

gingko//"en_pointe"
Gingko’s debut is very much about the body and the motions hers goes through. Her ballet / striptease is particularly enticing – the transformation from the austere, wrapped-up beginning to the rather cheeky end of that series is a performance in and of itself.

lara_f//"taglich"
This lady’s contributions have been widely varied in style, which tends to indicate a rather complex personality – which, for most of us who are uneducated in Deutsch, can only be understood through her photos.

little_birdi//"wallpaper"
Imagine hiring Little_Birdi as your interior designer – her op shop kitsch greatly increasing your cultural currency and enriching your existence with the complexity of patterned everything. I’d pay admission just to sit in her bedroom for an hour and stare at the wall.

hyperballad & avani//"fission"
We hesitated to shoot this folio as there was every chance our combined naked awesomeness would make the internets explode. In the end, it was decided even if it meant the end of the information super highway, we had to share these pictures of our wonderful friendship forged in nudity with you all. - Avani and Hyperballad

clare//"revvd"
Gentlemen (and ladies), start your engines. Or let Clare do it for you. This lady is a blast from the Snap-on Tool Girl calendar you found in your dad’s garage when you were looking for his old golf clubs. Those were the days.

leloo//"cruisy"
Leloo sends us a postcard from the Easy Life, and she couldn’t look more relaxed. In Australia there’s a name for her sort of zeitgeist: she’s ‘cruisy’. We have no idea what it’s called en francais, but we reckon it probably sounds a lot better.

karah//"superhero"
Today we reveal the behind-the-scenes stills from Karah’s recent video ‘supersassy’. We like her superhero pyjamas, and she fills them out much better than Christopher Reeve ever could have.

aubree//"composed"
We’re glad that this audiophile decided to venture into the world of the image for ISM. We can’t help but wonder how the experience of shooting herself compared to her own methodology of sound-making…perhaps she’ll visit the Forums to share her thoughts.

lora//"snakebite"
Ooh! Lora is back, forever providing a feast for the eyes and for our senses of humour. She’s always got some camped-up play on our various cultural legacies. Sharp as a piercing needle and tough as nails, this lady is full of the sweetest venom and there ain’t no antidote when she decides to bite.

jette//"funnyface"
The most expressive thing about Jette’s debut is the way she looks – and doesn’t look - at the camera. The dynamics of her personality are conveyed to us through every goofy grin and far-off gaze, and by the time you get through this set you feel like you’ve made a new friend.

rouge_soie//"Adventurer" Video
Everyone loves a good story, especially when someone 'does the voices'. For those who have never had the pleasure of having their own personal storyteller, Rouge_Soie gives you a little taste of what it's like, and we guarantee you'll find yourself lost in the story.

luci//"borntobewild"
Luci says that her dreadlocks are the last remnant of her wilder days, which makes us wonder where ISM positions itself in her current ‘calm’. It’s not the tamest thing you can do, after all, and maybe those wild days aren’t so long gone after all…

jillian//"wildwest"
I have a very special place in my heart for cowgirls, and not just because the fashion is so fantastic. There’s something powerful about a woman who can, lovingly and with grace, engage with a creature so much mightier than she. I doubt there’s anything that her gentle expression can’t tame.
