As you may know by now, Naomi Osaka has guest edited our new issue, out in early August. As usual, the issue brought together some unexpected contributors and took us to some far away places, such as Lagos, Nigeria, where the photographer Yusuf Sanni produced some amazing images of the lovely Lagos Lawn Tennis Club. We couldn’t use them all, so we’re presenting some outtakes here to hold you over until the issue’s release.
