Cool And Thoughtful Issue Nº5 is The Freedom Issue. It is a 340-page guide for living with consciousness and style, and it is powered by The Cool And Thoughtful Philosophy of Freedom, a four-part concept that can serve as a blueprint for now to create freedom in your life.

As a limited edition of 100 and released as a solo exposition at Galerie Romero Paprocki in Paris from 17-25 March 2026, The Freedom Issue is a work of art designed to unlock the infinite possibilities within you.
In The World of Cool And Thoughtful, freedom means embodying the belief that you are one hundred percent responsible for your experience of life, and that you have the full capacity to create joy, alignment, and well-being in your life.

The intention of The Freedom Issue is to serve as a guide for you on your own freedom journey, providing you with the stories, inspirations, and resources to empower you to live, to feel, and to be free.

Every feature is intentionally designed to offer a portal for you to connect to the possibilties that inspire you, and at the end of the issue, you’ll find a comprehensive set of resources for consciousness, self-development, and manifestation in “The Cool And Thoughtful Reading List.” 

Cool And Thoughtful is an invitation to step into a world in which nothing is impossible, nothing is off limits: you have the universe in you and the universe is with you. Your superpower is in your intentionality and in your awareness. Remember, there is nowhere to “get to”—rather, Cool And Thoughtful  is a chemin, a way of living, of growing, of discovering, of transcending, of creating, of connecting, of shining, of loving, of trusting, of living—of discovering what freedom looks and feels like to you.

All issues of Cool And Thoughtful Magazine are interactive with QR codes: you can shop the editorials, listen to the music,  browse the work of those featured, and connect with the modalities we’ve selected to support your self-development and your freedom.

ISSUE Nº4: 
THE ALIGNMENT ISSUE


FEATURING: ALICE GERAULT / AURA / CARRÉS SAUVAGES / CHANEL / CHARLOTTE CHESNAIS / CHIHO AOSHIMA / CLÉMENCE GAUDILLAT / DEGRAVE PARIS / DOUZE / ELI C STUDIO PHOTOGRAPHY / HILARY HARLEY / LAURE MANNESSIER / LOUIS LANNE / LUNIER PARIS / MAISON GAINSBOURG / MAISON JOUMANA / MARGARYTA EIR MAGNÚSDÓTTIR / NOTES DE BAS DE PAJE / PERROTIN / SARAH HEITZMANN / THE SOLAR CLUB  / TIFFANY BOULLE / XANDRA SUNGLIM BURNS / 48 COLLAGEN CAFÉ



 Cool And Thoughtful Issue Nº4 is The Alignment Issue and is a tribute to the idea that anything is possible. In thinking about alignment as doing what is right and natural to you in body, mind, and spirit, this issue dives deep into the question of what does it mean to be and live in alignment with oneself? How do you discover what alignment means for you? How can you start to express that in your life? 
This Issue takes the case that alignment is one of the most powerful concepts in the human experience, for it calls for the expansion of consciousness, unlocks your entire range of faculties, enables you to express your full potential, and thus you can shine your light in the world–creating freedom for yourself and making a difference for others. With alignment anything is possible. 

In Cool And Thoughtful Magazine, a set of concepts animates the theme of each issue. The three that power The Alignment Issue are: 1) the transformative power of aesthetics; 2) art as a way of understanding the human experience; 3) integrity.

In this way, the intention of The Alignment Issue is to awaken you to the infinite possibilities within you, and serve as a guide for how to start to enact them.

Each Issue of the magazine features the people, brands, editorials, and concepts that bring elements of the Cool And Thoughtful ethos and aesthetic to life.

Issue Nº4 is interactive: you can shop the editorials, listen to the music, and browse the work of those featured.

ISSUE Nº3:
The MANIFESTATION ISSUE

AVAILABLE HERE

FEATURING: BALENCIAGA / BONITA MUSIC / BRANDON CABRAL / BRIANNA SANCHEZ / CENADA CLIFTON-SMITH / CLAIRE AKKAN / DEVON SMITH / HOT GIRL WALK LOS ANGELES / ISLA DE GAR / JAMES CREISSEN / MEWTIP / PATRICK BRADFORD / RABBIT DRESS UP / SOFIA LUZ CORONADO-MCDERMOTT / STEPH FLOCKHART / VIRGIL ABLOH / XANDRA SUNGLIM BURNS


The vision for Issue Nº3 was to create “a pocket guide to living” and so The Manifestion Issue spotlights four themes: beauty, interdisciplinary thinking, taking responsibility, commitment to personal growth. Together, these concepts show that being Cool And Thoughtful is ultimately about being generative–embodying the courage and curiosity to create and think about solutions rather than taking a passive stance. Hence, manifestation.



ISSUE Nº2
the brand issue

SOLD OUT


FEATURING: ADAM BRAMSON / ALFIE PARIS / ALMANAQ RADIO / AUSTIN MARC / BEADS BY WAHIBS / CLAIRE AKKAN / DANIEL ZULIANI / DEVIN JOOS / HAMISH ROLAND MACLACHLAN-LESTER / MA SOEUR ET MOI / HAIR PARTY / ISLA DE GAR / MAAT / TRACKSTAR / VEJEZ VINTAGE / XANDRA SUNGLIM BURNS


Issue Nº2 is a celebration of the Cool And Thoughtful Concept Shop in NYC and an ode to what it means to be a Cool And Thoughtful brand. The brands you’d find in the shop embody intangible attributes like intentionality, care, optimism, and attention to detail–values that, if extrapolated out and applied to other areas of life, could make a difference in how you live.


ISSUE Nº1
The introduction

SOLD OUT


FEATURING: CENADA CLIFTON-SMITH / DEVON SMITH / GRACE / MORTIMER / PROENZA SCHOULER / RAINA BELL /  SOULECTION / SPARKISH / XANDRA SUNGLIM BURNS


Designed to feel like a coffee table book versus a “magazine,” Issue Nº1 is the best introduction you could get to The World of Cool And Thoughtful, a world in which being “cool” means being generous and engaged rather than passive or self-absorbed.

Cool And Thoughtful Magazine is a guide for living with consciousness and style created by Kerrin Smith. As a philosophy of living, being Cool And Thoughtful is not about what you believe, but how you interact with the world: bringing intentionality, curiosity, and warmth to all you do. 

As a limited-edition work of art released every 12-18 months, each edition is dedicated to the possibility of being trop stylée, trop consciente–so stylish, so conscious–at the same time, and is anchored in the power of aesthetics–things that look at feel just so cool–to champion a set of values that can make a difference in how we relate to ourselves, to each other, and to life itself.

As a guide, each Issue is designed around a theme that will empower you to access the infinite possibilities within you (Nº3, Manifestion; Nº4, Alignment; Nº5, Freedom). The features in Cool And Thoughtful are stories of art, style, and creativity that are each a unique expression of the core values, the theme of each Issue, and the transformative power of aesthetics. “The Cool And Thoughtful Reading List” at the end of each Issue is an interactive set of resources to support your personal & self-development.
