20 Years Young ššššš
A lot of blood, sweat and beers went into this one thanks so much to the kindest and (sometimes) funniest bunch in the world @ericarana@tibbitsben@mike.w.morton and everyone else who made this happenšššš
Arsenal defender. Lionessesā Stalwart. Trailblazer in Womenās Football. Author. Activistāand thatās just what you already know. Thereās more than meets the eye to the prowess of @leahwilliamsonn . Covering our Summer 2025 issue, DJ, author, broadcaster and recent football convert @anniemacmanus sits down with the heart and pride of England to unpack the pressures of the job, relishing the moment despite being booked and busy, and to answer one of the most pressing questions facing her: does she have time to grab a cold one with Annieās very own womenās footie team. Post-Euros, perhaps? šøš¼ā½ļø

Metro is Booooooomin!
āI want to reshape the way that we think about and listen to music and albums as a whole. I want to change how people look at producers, respect producers and view producers. That all means a lot to me.ā
Having already produced some of Hip-Hopās biggest hits of the century, the explosive back-to-back releases of his collaborative albums with Future ā We Donāt Trust You and We Still Donāt Trust You ā have recently set the world boisterously ablaze. Covering Wonderlandās Summer 2024 issue, he chats to his OG collaborator, Canadian Rapper Nav, about leaving behind a legacy and why this is just the beginning for him as a creative.

āIām still boy Coi forever. I was raised by the boys. Iām always going to have that energy. Iām just getting older. Iām a woman, Iām a lady. So things are changing. But Iām always going to be sexy. My sex appeal ā I canāt even give you a class for that. You either got it or you donāt.ā

šThe Essence of Emma š
āMy broad discomfort with having my photo taken means I often crave clothes that will wear me. I suppose the childish, cross part of me also likes the idea of trying to interrupt the stream of beauty images broadcast by traditional and social media. I like the idea of something slightly weird or strange turning up amongst those pictures. That felt like an underlying principle for the press tour of season one. The confusing thing about publicity events, premiers, invitation-only whatever-events, is the encompassing myth that states: This is not work, this is fun! And normal! But it isnāt normal. Itās marketing. Itās orchestrated. Itās camera-facing. And itās definitely work. I find it really helpful to re-contextualise those events as work. I love thinking through these things with Rose Forde. A big conversation we had last year was around the idea of a uniform ā one outfit, in different colours possibly, that one could wear to every event ā a work uniform.ā

Fresh out of The Holdovers with a BAFTA nomination and a Critics Choice Award for his debut role as teenage troublemaker Angus Tully, Dominic Sessa is undeniably Hollywoodās new golden boy!
āI think in all of [Payneās] movies, heās looking for real people and not wanting [them] to seem like an actor or a celebrity, which I think is why he really liked me. He had a look in his mind [for Angus] and thereās something about my hair and I had these crazy sideburns in high school. Maybe he was just in a good mood the day he saw my tape or something. You never know what it is. It really does come down to those moments, the stars having to align in a perfect way.ā

šWhen Kano Comes Aroundš« for @wonderland
āIām just drawn towards stories about underprivileged communities because thatās what I know. [My manager] Rich once said to me, āAll your albums are like Home Sweet Home, Made In The Manor,
Hoodies All Summer and London Townā, itās always a little biographical. At the beginning of my career, I saw that me having a voice shed light on people that maybe didnāt have a voice or didnāt think they had one. I was really speaking for a community. Itās the same with film, I am just drawn to stories from that standpoint, and obviously being a Londoner as well, I felt like we were on the same page and cared about our city. If I really think about it, itās like a lot of the acting Iāve done is an extension of the music Iāve made.ā
