The “new London” scene has a lot of interesting names (the Hedi Slimane shoot for The Face last summer only scratched the surface, really), but fakemink is definitely resonating as one of the loudest among them, with co-signs from Playboi Carti, Pink Pantheress, Frank Ocean, etc. “Fidelio” is the latest single fanning the flames with a glitchy video that looks like it was filmed and edited on a 2016 iPhone. The title is a clever reference to Stanley Kubrick’s “Eyes Wide Shut”, by the way. ‘Fidelio’ is the password to get into the secret epicurean hullabaloo, only accessible to the ‘top of society’, implying fakemink himself has cracked the code to the higher echelons of contemporary culture.
