In The Just Kids Issue, artist Matthew Stone shares his manifesto on the importance of optimism and, above all, love. In our packed Pre-Fall edition his manifesto is accompanied by a series of images portraying his creative joie de vivre, featuring a series of models and performers wearing AW12 finery, styled by Matthew Josephs. Here we slip behind-the-scenes and gain an insight into Matthew at work as he simultaneously shoots for The Just Kids Issue and for a forthcoming short for Channel 4′s Random Acts series. In the wise words of Matthew himself, remember
#everythingispossible.
