EDITOR’S LETTER
CONTRIBUTORS
AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL • Anok Yai is a talent who invites comparison to Linda Evangelista and Naomi Campbell. She tells JOSÉ CRIALES-UNZUETA about subverting expectations—and the new chapter she’s hoping to start onscreen
TO THE FILM FESTS YOU GO! • Each year, awards-season hopefuls make their grand debut in Italy’s floating city, the breathtaking Rocky Mountains, New York City’s bustling Upper West Side, and that city in Canada where everyone you know has threatened to move. If you could only hit one festival—or any—which would be your own cinematic Goldilocks? REBECCA FORD has the answer
WEARABLE TECH • No more beeping, booping, or buzzing. HILLARY BUSIS is opting out
CONFESSIONS OF A TEENAGE DRAMA QUEEN • Converse! Cake! Cigarettes! The legacy of Sofia Coppola’s 18th-century period piece Marie Antoinette endures 20 years later. A new book by photographer Andrew Durham offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the making of the gilded film
FAMILY STYLE • The McNally name has given New York some of its all-time favorite restaurants. Can George McNally, 23, capture that magic with his new spot, Faux?

Lauren Sherman, author of Line Sheet, is the latest inheritor of the mantle. AIDAN McLAUGHLIN hits the shows with the journalist about whom everyone in fashion has an opinion
How I Blew Up—Then Rebuilt—My Life • When news of her affair with Gavin Newsom exploded into the public eye, it was only the outward mark of a long-rippling private implosion. In the wreckage, RUBY RIPPEY faced her demons but lost the person she loved most and her own voice. Twenty years later, she is ready to share her story

More recently, he has embarked on a number of new pursuits in quick succession: haute couture customer, Instagram exhibitionist, performance artist, and now, with Ryan Murphy’s blessing, bona fide Hollywood actor. MARISA MELTZER asks: How did this producer become the production?
