Issue 16: Rebirth

​

Mother by day, anomaly by night, Susanne Bartsch can roast a chicken, knit a sweater, and produce one hell of a party. A fashion icon and the empress of New York City nightlife, Bartsch is notorious for exhibiting some of the most extravagant looks seen in the underground club scene and curating an array of eclectic events for over three decades. From Paris to Tokyo, Bartsch is a paragon of embodiment and transformation—providing offbeat venues and spaces for creative creatures and visionaries alike to unify, to dance, and to and express themselves with elegant fluidity.
