This week on Bad For The Community, we’re joined by Gutta (@filmedbygutta) to talk about the launch of CHNL — a new creative platform co-founded with our very own, Saint Yves!
CHNL, short for Creatives Have No Limits, just dropped its debut issue featuring incredible collaborations with a number of local fashion brands within a magazine that's been two years in the making. Gutta and Yves share the full journey: from the first spark of the idea to assembling the right team, navigating collaboration, and bringing a tangible archive of culture to life.
We get into the stories behind Issue 001, the meaning of physical print in a digital age, the balance of creativity and burnout, and how CHNL aims to create lasting legacy for underrepresented narratives and emerging creative economies.
Tap in for a deep dive on what it takes to build a proof of concept that’s bigger than clout and rooted in culture!
