Eunoia; “a feeling of goodwill”
From sculptural hairstyles that challenge identity to silhouettes cocooned in contradictions, this Schön! 48 editorial dissects beauty through a distorted lens. Here, the mind’s well-being is not serenity but curiosity, audacity, and transformation. Photographer and creative director Mazen Abusrour crafts each frame as cryptic, deliberate, and saturated with intent. The body becomes a site of tension: wrapped, obscured, elongated. Hair by Alireza Mousavi is morphed into a veil, a sculpture, a weapon. Faces painted by artist Sophie Leach become canvas, geometry, or ghost, suggesting stories untold rather than explained. Beauty, as envisioned here, is neither passive nor prescriptive; it is composed by force of goodwill.

Michael Cimino knows how to navigate both the world of acting and his journey, making all the right moves along the way. After a snowboarding getaway with friends, the actor has returned to Los Angeles — the city he’s called home since moving there at 18 to pursue his passion for acting. Perched with Schön! on a Suzuki motorcycle, the Las Vegas native opens up about his newest project, ‘Until Dawn’.
The horror film, inspired by the popular video game, follows a group of friends caught in an unending time loop where every choice can mean life or death. “We keep dying and coming back to life over and over again until we figure out how to get out of the night and make it until dawn,” Cimino explains. Shot in Budapest, Hungary, the film explores the consequences of decision-making and how choices can significantly alter one’s path. Cimino plays Max, one of the friends trying to unravel the mysterious disappearance of Melanie, who vanished a year prior in the same remote valley. “One thing I really appreciated about Max is his journey throughout the film,” Cimino tells us. “He’s trying to hold together the relationship that he lost and trying to find himself as well. He learns to be more independent and strong, trusting his gut and following his intuition. He kind of goes from a boy to a man.”
From his first acting classes at age eight in a local church to a range of diverse roles, Cimino’s journey has been anything but ordinary. Up next, he’ll star in the series ‘Motorheads’, where he plays Zac, a young man trying to live up to his father’s legendary street-racing legacy. “‘Motorheads’ is a show about firsts. Of course, there’s a racing element to it, but it’s about finding your first love, turning the key to your first car,” Cimino elaborates. “There’s something so relatable about these characters. I’m excited to see how it resonates with people.”
