Numéro 258

Praised by Madonna and Rihanna, and highly acclaimed for her performance at the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics, the French singer has just released her new album Destinée and, at just 30 years old, is set to dazzle audiences with a series of concerts at the Stade de France.

Also in this issue: fashion series by Txema Yeste, Katja Mayer, Bastiaan Woudt, Anthony Arquier, Ben Hassett, and Julien Vallon.

In a world where everything must be controlled, measured and rationalised, passion unsettles: it escapes control and refuses compromise. Also in this issue: Victoria Luengo, who brought two films to this year's Cannes Film Festival, Pedro Almodóvar's Autofiction and Rodrigo Sorogoyen's L'Être aimé; Leïla Bekhti, whose work relentlessly explores identity and female emancipation, and who has turned her red-carpet appearances into a powerful statement; Eartheater, unveiling a seventh album of experimental electroacoustic pop; La Vie d'une femme, starring Léa Drucker and Mélanie Thierry; Arthur Harari's L'Inconnue, in competition at Cannes with Léa Seydoux and Niels Schneider.

By a swimming pool in Los Angeles, Taylor Russell opens up with fire and daring in this issue. Also in this issue: Pedro Almodóvar, who has just presented Autofiction in Cannes, a dive into the workings of his mind and a creative process he describes as an inner ocean of emotions; Alewya, the London-based singer, songwriter and producer releasing her debut album this summer; Iliona, at 25 one of the brightest stars of the French-speaking scene; Charlotte Cardin, named female artist of the year.
