Our latest stories are strikingly different. Representing two possible routes of travel for 2023, there is the cool, considered elegance of Clinic, encapsulating new takes on the evergreen wellness driver and the power of science. Then there is Kingdoms; maximalist and extrovert, a love story dedicated to personal expression and the flowering of creative projects seeded during lockdown.

Also, in this issue we rightly celebrate new talent, recognising that graduates around the world have had a truly tough time. It is to their eternal credit that, rather than give up, they have collectively put on a display of work that is truly dazzling.

In many ways then, MIX Magazine 65 is dedicated to future talent, whose work is incorporated into much of the content seen in this issue. Of course, there is the dedicated graduate showcase, but more of their work appears in our Colour Directions, Drivers and Outliers sections. This is testament to the extraordinarily high standard of work seen this year across the world. We couldn’t have compiled this issue without them.
