A fashion story from the winter 2025 issue of THE FACE, photographed by Mila Rowyszyn and Olivia Drozdz, and styled by FACE Fashion Editor America Korban.

In 2025, the face of British protest is not restricted to teenagers or students. At a time when life is hard enough for young people, the middle-aged, elderly and retired are willing to join the fight for Palestine, for the climate, for anti-racism and against far-right demonstrators. These are the power pensioners fighting peacefully, for freedom and our future.

The DJ, London clubland legend and FACE presenter has allegedly been out every night since 1976. Cor what stamina! We managed to keep her still long enough to talk beauty, London nightlife, and what’s in for 2026.

Every issue, we put together a list of rising stars to watch. From TikTokers to musicians, designers to writers, these are the names you need to jot down in your Notes app.

Anthem, or Singing With My Friends, has swiftly become the go-to karaoke night for fashion crowds in London. From the best songs to singing dos and dont's, founders Fiona Hartley and Zac Klein gave us the lowdown on the messy night bringing creative heads together.

A fashion force and beloved FACE contributor, the revered stylist is remembered here by some of her closest friends and collaborators.

The acclaimed provocator teams up with FACE Fashion Director Danny Reed to deliver a cautionary tale for the new issue.

The breakout star of Rachel Sennott’s riotous HBO series I Love LA is about to shoot straight to Safdie stardom in ping pong Oscar contender Marty Supreme. For Odessa A’zion of Los Angeles, opportunity knocks.

Since breaking through at the age of 16, Dave has filled arenas, headlined festivals and conquered the charts. With the release of his third album The Boy Who Played The Harp, THE FACE finds an artist who’s proudly unwilling to compromise.
