With Issue 8, No Chaser turns a new corner. From the beginning, our mission has been clear: to craft a publication that reflects not only what we see in the world, but also what we value, enjoy, and feel compelled to share. It has never been a simple task, but it has always been a worthwhile one.
Along the way, we’ve been blessed to meet extraordinary photographers, writers, visionaries, and brands whose passion fuels our own. Their creativity drives us forward, reminding us that each issue is about more than just stories and images, it’s about pushing further, digging deeper, and giving shape to a voice that has long existed but never had its own.
No Chaser is more than a magazine. It is a mirror held up for you. In the stories of others, you’ll find reflections of your own journey, sometimes parallel, sometimes prophetic, always resonant. The road is rarely smooth, but it is always worth traveling when the destination is nothing less than first-class cool.
In this issue, we invite you on a journey. Step into the striking photography of Elisa Platia as she guides us through India, Morocco, Cambodia, and Sri Lanka. Travel with Christina Holmes to Chennai, India, and plunge underwater with Alexander Thomas Walsh.
As always, style is our anchor. From New York, where we shoot with Angel Ramos, to Chicago, where Meredith Peck shares her unique perspective, we explore the many ways passion informs elegance. We bring you inside the world of eccentric jewelry master Massimo Izzo in Sicily, furniture designer Filippo Mannucci in Florence, and Naples’ own master shoemaker, Paolo Scafora, each an artisan who shapes beauty with their hands and vision.
This work would not exist without the extraordinary contributions of our editorial staff—Daniel Delerme Flores, Kendall Kendrick, Jeff Singer, Kamau Hosten, and Buihe Madu, who embody the core values of No Chaser. Our lens is sharpened by photographers Kristina Tolchilko, Massimo Cervone, Guillaume Lancelot, Alessandro. Michelazzi, Collis Torrington, Jason Jean, and Olga Makarova, each capturing the essence of passion in their own way.
We also extend deep gratitude to our stakeholders, Darryl Lesure and Olakunle Lawrence, who have stood as essential pillars since the early stages, guiding the trajectory of No Chaser with belief and unwavering kinship. To Nicola Muro, Max Twitty, Mike Steven, and Ontario Armstrong, thank you for your unwavering support.
And to you, the reader: they say attention spans are shrinking to six words on Instagram. You prove them wrong. You remind us that substance still matters, that stories still resonate, and that true style is timeless. Together, we are not trend chasers. We are No Chasers.
Issue 8, Think about it like style, everyone has access to it, but everyone just doesn’t get it!
