Summary:
In the Fall Winter 24-25 issue which closes the fifteenth anniversary celebration of ''Cura', ''Coming of Age'' is a plural and multifaceted story of growth, discovery, affirmation, defeat and corruption, that recounts the ambiguities of the present time, the sense of loss of illusions, trapped in a reality in front of which one is both an adult and a child, corrupt and innocent, cynical and curious. A limbo between hope and reality places events in which we witness a whole that unfolds at once inside and outside of us. Propelled into such ambiguity—neither past nor future—we are overwhelmed by a flow of things and events, a changing and metamorphic landscape, which translates the upheavals of a new awareness and a new age.

Le style, la beauté, la mobilisation des goûts et des sensibilités s’imposent chaque jour davantage comme des impératifs stratégiques des marques : le capitalisme d’hyperconsommation est un mode de production esthétique. Dans les industries de consommation, le design, la mode, la publicité, la décoration, le cinéma, le show-business des produits chargés de séduction sont créés en masse. Ils véhiculent des affects et de la sensibilité, ils agencent un univers esthétique proliférant et hétérogène par l’éclectisme des styles qui s’y déploie.
