Another Man # 27

First, British actor BEN WHISHAW is photographed by Willy Vanderperre and styled by Alister Mackie.

Alexander Fury heads down to the French Riviera for an in-depth conversation with fashion’s great virtuoso JOHN GALLIANO about his spectacular new vision at the helm of Maison Margiela. Accompanying the exclusive interview, photographer Ethan James Green and stylist Ellie Grace Cumming capture the genderless glamour of the A/W18 collection.

Photographer Tim Walker and stylist Katy England reunite for another extravaganza, this season merging surreal fantasy with bucolic splendor. And, lastly, Willy Vanderperre and Alister Mackie team-up again for an intimate, dreamy character study.

Inside the issue, rock and roll’s great romantic NICK CAVE curates a 32-page Document: filled with personal snapshots, spontaneous scribblings and private obsessions, it offers a unique glimpse into the inner world of a true renaissance man.
