THE REBEL ISSUE - STARRING JOAN SMALLS Risk-takers, rule-breakers, trouble-makers – those rebels doing it differently, challenging the status quo: against the current; against the grain. We are running up those roads, we are running up those hills, and we built those cities on Rock and Roll. Rebels fight the good fight, and as much impact as they can have, they don’t always win. But change is what makes us, and there is no change without challenge, ergo challenge makes us – sometimes breaks us, but that’s those risks we’ve said we take. Rebellion’s inside all of us, it’s in our nature to test boundaries, and so, we’ve created an issue full of it – misunderstood supervillains, jungle ravers, street artists, beat poets, Sex Pistols, and more. As if all that wickedly delicious dissent wasn’t enough, we have supermodel Joan Smalls rocking Cartier jewelry on the streets of New York, lensed by super photographer Greg Swales. To be the first of anything is a rebel move, but for our cover star, those rebel moves have defined her whole career – the first Latina face of Estée Lauder cosmetics in 2011, and the first person of Puerto Rican descent to front fashion campaigns for Chanel, Balmain, Bottega Veneta, Givenchy, Moschino, Roberto Cavalli, Tom Ford, and many, many more; Joan, the first to walk these paths, so people coming up behind her can run. — Let the wild rumpus start ❤️‍🔥 — Cover Star @joansmalls Photographer @gregswalesart Stylist @wbuckleydotcom Producer @j.marcc Makeup @georgisandev at @forwardartists Hair @hoshounkpatin at @thewallgroup Digital Technician @casey.franklin Photo Assistants @danielvanderdeen, @janaschuessler Jewelry @cartier Editor-in-Chief @planetalibaba Special thanks to @amelie.delacour @nadineshahine @yazus_d ❤️
