T Australia’s sixteenth issue celebrates The Greats: the talents across music, film, art and fashion whose careers are a master class in curiosity, composure and defiance.
Our cover story (page 64), written by Emily Lordi, profiles one of the world’s most singular and compelling entertainment personalities, the pioneering hip-hop star, actress and producer Queen Latifah. Photographed by Rahim Fortune and styled by Ian Bradley, the interview delves into the multihyphenate’s three-decade-long career spanning rap, jazz, acting and directing, alongside the far-reaching impact she has made for women in creative fields.
Then there’s the actor Annette Bening, whose four-decade career is shaped by a penchants for playing difficult women. But, as the writer Ligaya Mishan discovers (page 80), it’s the difficulty of the roles themselves that really interests her.
There’s also Miuccia Prada (page 70), who transformed her family’s leather goods business into an empire that has changed the way we dress and think about clothing. “It’s about living different parts of your personality,” she says.
