“In this slim, grim tale of aquatic horror, Grant ( Symbiont) unveils the tragic last voyage of the SS Atargatis, hired by the Imagine Network to help film a fake documentary on mermaids while also performing deep-sea scientific studies. Whatever the truth may be, it will only be found below the bathypelagic zone in the Mariana Trench.and the depths are very good at keeping secrets. Some have called it a hoax others have called it a maritime tragedy. This is the story of the Atargatis, lost at sea with all hands. They certainly didn't expect those mermaids to have teeth. When the Imagine Network commissioned a documentary on mermaids, to be filmed from the cruise ship Atargatis, they expected what they had always received before: an assortment of eyewitness reports that proved nothing, some footage that proved even less, and the kind of ratings that only came from peddling imaginary creatures to the masses.

If one thing summed up CALVIN KLEIN for us visually, it was Mario Sorrenti’s OBSESSION campaign with Kate Moss. “I suppose you could say we were obsessed by OBSESSION. To mark its 25th anniversary, Klein’s current prodigious son, Raf Simons, has rehashed the original tale of love, memory and obsession for a whole new generation. This month, the two central (and celebrated) protagonists reprise their role from the 1993 cult classic, taking centre stage once more in Calvin Klein’s second coming of the fragrance, Obsessed. It was quintessential ‘90s minimalism pared-back, youthful, irreverent – with images of a topless and bare-bottomed young Moss catapulting not only the Calvin scent to fragrance folklore – but Moss herself. Baby Mossy, in all her sylphlike, doe-eyed, elfin glory, fronted the campaign near-naked (full, in one shot) – with only towel-dried tresses and a bare face. One of the most enduring images of the olfactory narrative is Kate Moss for Calvin Klein’s Obsession, lensed by her then-boyfriend, Mario Sorrenti.

But his hand grabbed at her arm, pulling her back inside. But then fear took her, and she made to cross the threshold. It was raining outside, and she hesitated. ‘Hide.’ And with that he yanked open the door. Then he looked away again, into a distance all of his own. He stared at her, his eyes seeming almost to recognise her. ‘They’re coming,’ he repeated, his voice a whisper now. Only two minutes ago, the most important decision in her life had been whether or not to dare a trip to the squat’s seething lavatory. The sweat trickled from his chilled rat’s-tails of hair. And she knew, too, that he had the makings upstairs in his bedroom. She’d seen him pretty strung out before, but never this bad. He had pushed her all the way to the front door now.
