ORDER MERDE IX

Cover of a magazine titled "MERE" Fall 2025, featuring a woman with black and orange hair lying on a floral bed, holding one leg up high with a white boot. The woman is topless with black spots on her body, wearing white gloves and a gray ruffled skirt, with a serious expression.

BERLIN COVER
From scrappy stray to alpha of the underground, Miss Bashful has sniffed out her destiny with the unshakable confidence of a pit bull and the sass of a chihuahua in stilettos. This Mexican-born, Berlin-honed hellhound didn’t just enter the scene. MERDE's Berlin cover star marks her territory, howls over Ghetto Tech beats and sinks her teeth into the throats of shame and conformity. Once a lost pup drifting from Houston to Frankfurt, she’s now the pedigreed queen of slut techno, leading her pack of gays, girlies, and theys with a growl and a wink. Fetch your headphones and get ready to roll over for Berlin’s most unapologetic superstar photographed by Aytekin Yalçin.
US COVER
Lisa Rinna is more than a Beverly Hills housewife. She’s an actress, a no-fucks-giver, a Fashion Week staple, and the queen of “owning it.” For our U.S. cover story, MERDE brought together Lisa and her stylist Danyul Brown to talk ambition, breaking narratives, going viral, and dancing through the noise. Shot in medium format by Agata Serge in Los Angeles as undone portraiture, the imagery nods to the old guards—while Rinna reminds us she’s busy rewriting the script.
PARIS COVER
Sam Quealy grew up a ballerina—but she was never meant to tiptoe through life. Now as a musician, she dances, struts, and stomps across genres and mediums. Many call all her a pop star, a model, a performer, but Quealy calls herself a shapeshifter. Her identity resists labels. For our Paris cover story, Quealy talks inspiration, techno, and stripper heels. Shot by Renée Parkhurst, Quealy transforms a classic Haussmann apartment steps from Opéra into a full-on runway—backstage, catwalk, and afterparty included.
