“The Pioneer,” p. 82The director has been
dear friends with
Miuccia Prada since
she collaborated
on the suit that
Leonardo DiCaprio
wore in Romeo + Juliet.
He photographed
her after she “opened
a vintage Prada
suitcase, threw a
few items together,
and did her own
hair—to a majestic
result.” Luhrmann’s
adaptation of his
film Moulin Rouge! is
now on Broadway.Contributors2 3 4 5

a fan of Kristen
Stewart, whom she

the screen—it cracks

“Playing It Cool,” p. 58The acclaimed British
photographer
makes his V. F. debut
with his images
of Kristen Stewart at
Hollywood’s fabled
Los Altos apartments.
“L.A. has a great,
weird, sinister edge
to it,” says McLellan.
“Apparently our
suite was haunted.
It was fun having
Kristen’s dog on set,
which relaxed
things quite a lot.”Samira

“Playing It Cool,” p. 58“I wanted to show
that you can be
glamorous and still
be playful in your
dress,” says V. F.’s
executive fashion
director, who styled
Kristen Stewart
for this month’s cover
story, as well as
Himesh Patel and
other stars featured

to work with such a
diverse and energetic
group is so exciting.”Adam

“Diamonds in the Rough,” p. 110“What drew me to
this story is that it’s
like a nonfiction
version of a Nouvelle
Vague film,” says
Gollner, the former
editor in chief of
Vice magazine,
of two jewel heists
at Harry Winston
Paris totaling more
than $100 million.
“Everything is as
crazy and impossible
and risky as it is true.”
