š UNDER THE COVER WITH KEMBRA PFAHLER ā¤ļø On the occasion of her new newly published monograph with @rizzolibooks, watch as Kembra Pfahler introduces the books that have shaped her life and artistic practice over the past four decades.
From her first job at the Strand Bookstore to discovering Hubert Selby Jr., Pfahler traces the influence of key texts on her work, including Angry Women and the voices of Karen Finley, Diamanda GalĆ”s and Lydia Lunchāfigures who reframed anger as material and informed her approach to performance and self-invention.
Confessing to a habit of redecorating the covers of her most treasured books, she reflects on her enduring relationship to them, from early influences to her 2007 exhibition Womanizer and beyond.

A love letter to Berlinās 90s rave scene! ššŖ© Alfred Steffenās Portrait of a Generation: The Love Parade Family Book captures the faces of one of the worldās biggest electronic music festivals.
Founded in 1989, Berlinās Love Parade grew into a gathering of 750,000 techno fans, transforming the cityās streets into a celebration of music and collective euphoria. In 1996, German photographer Alfred Steffen set up a roadside studio, photographing more than 250 ravers over a marathon 36-hour session.
Published by Taschen in 1997, the book brings together 140 of Steffenās portraits, capturing sunburned faces, dilated pupils, handmade outfits and exhausted smiles. Shot at close range, the photographs offer an intimate record of rave culture before its commercialisation.

Did you know the iconic Versace dress in Showgirls wasnāt supposed to be in the film at all? šÆāāļøš
When costume designer Ellen Mirojnick asked Versace to lend a dress for Elizabeth Berkleyās Nomi Malone, the fashion house declined. Undeterred, Mirojnick went to a Versace boutique in Las Vegas and bought the dress herself using the filmās costume budget.
The dress was chosen for a pivotal moment in Nomiās attempt to reinvent herself, as she trades her rough-edged beginnings for the glamour of the Las Vegas showgirl. But despite Versaceās influence over the filmās wardrobe, it was actually the only genuine Versace garment in the entire film. Most of Nomiās other looks were custom-made or sourced from Los Angeles boutique Exit 1, with Mirojnick drawing heavily on Gianni Versaceās designs to create the filmās deliberately exaggerated vision of luxury.
The dress became one of Showgirlsā most memorable fashion moments, not least because of Nomiās infamous declaration that she bought it at āVersayce.ā In a film obsessed with ambition and the performance of glamour, the mispronunciation became a perfect expression of Nomiās desire to belong to a world she was still learning how to navigate.
