Numéro Netherlands 15: Fahd Salés

€24.99

FAHD SALÉS

For this cover of our new NATURE issue, LISSELI SANTOS and ENRIQUE LEYVA transport us to Peru to tell a story of ‘We Are Still Here.’ Model FAHD SALÉS is photographed in both local Peruvian brands and an ensemble made from the pods of pacay — a fruit tree native to the Andean region. Like the pacay, FAHD stands as a reminder that Indigenous communities, their traditions, art and knowledge are an integral part of modern Peruvian society, and that they have been and forever will be indisputably connected to the land of their ancestors.

NATURE

A change in light. The movement of water. The first signs of a new season. Nature is in a constant state of transformation. In a culture defined by immediacy, it offers something increasingly rare: patience. It unfolds at its own pace, reminding us that growth, change, and beauty cannot always be hurried. Its influence can be found everywhere. In the silhouettes we wear. in the spaces we inhabit. In the colours, textures, and forms that shape our visual language. This issue celebrates the enduring relationship between the natural world and creative expression. The artists who interpret it. The designers who borrow from it. The image-makers that capture it. To engage with nature is to engage with something both timeless and constantly changing - a paradox that has fascinated humanity for generations. A source of wonder and endless complexity.

The more closely we look, the more there is to see. Welcome to Numéro Netherlands #15 Nature.
