Fucking Young Issue 25 - Television

Fashion has transcended the runway, breaking into our small screens to create a mass-media empire filled with TV shows, video games, and more. For many of us raised on television, there was a time when skepticism ruled, embodied by characters like FBI agent Dana Scully from The X-Files. Today, entertainment permeates everything—but beyond the pixels, what core values remain?

As FY Editor-in-Chief Adriano Batista says:
"Representation matters. TV has the power to change mentalities… TV is a weapon. It can be misused but often brings social change. It entertains and educates us."

Our latest issue is a tribute to the intersection of pop culture and fashion. Featuring Gossip Girl star Evan Mock on the cover, shot by TianZheng Yun in a setup inspired by the iconic Ugly Betty series, FY Issue 25 celebrates TV's cultural impact.

This edition also spotlights exclusive interviews with designers Adrian Appiolaza and Ashton Hirota, alongside a feature with musical guest Jack Antonoff.

From Sex and the City to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, our must-see TV lineup reflects more than entertainment—it captures evolving societal values. FY Issue 25 brings together contributing photographers Adrián Cuerdo, Aitana Valencia, Alan Marty, Alfredo Llamas, Andy Dyo, Carlos Villarejo, Colette Der Kinderen, Cristobal Cerdeira, Emil Kosuge, Isaac Calpe, Louise Reinke, Luis Ayora, Michiel Meewis, TianZheng Yun, and Uge Rubio.

This issue is a love letter to the shows, characters, and creative voices that have shaped our collective imagination, proving that TV is more than a pastime—it’s a platform for storytelling and change.
