On the Art of Transformation
Change isn’t a trend – it’s a principle of life. THE Stylemate No. 03 | 2025 explores the moment of transformation: metamorphoses in society, design, architecture, fashion – and within ourselves. A magazine about letting go, rediscovering and consciously shaping transitions.
What this issue is about
Under the theme “Time to Shift”, we look at metamorphosis in many forms: political and ecological transitions, identity in beta, and rituals that bring back energy in everyday life. The essays and features reframe stability as a living process between a changing world and the freedom to reinvent ourselves.
Highlights
- Metamorphosis – The world is not fixed; it’s a theatre of transitions. Essay by Nina Prehofer on the allure and demands of change – from Ovid to politics, climate and the self.
- The Human in Beta Test. Bryan Johnson as a radical experiment in “upgrading” Homo sapiens – sharp, critical and witty.
- Gene Reset. Epigenetics coach Nike Schröder on how sleep, nutrition, movement and thoughts flip genetic “switches” – with practical daily rituals.
- Light Years Ahead. Why red-light therapy is gaining momentum as a quiet, evidence-informed longevity ritual – balancing research, usability and design.
- Style & Design. From space to idea; “Design is the intelligent management of chaos”; Fashion as a space for thought – aesthetics as attitude.
- Lifestylehotels™ Selection & Directory. Curated hideaways from Mia Alpina in Tyrol to Hotel Heureka in Venice, Bergwiesenglück in the Paznaun Valley to Everelmus in Bruges. Stylish retreats for inspiring timeouts.
