I, for one, don’t take our first female front cover for granted. And holy smokes, what a cover it is. Monica Bellucci sits down with us to discuss her unique and illustrious career as a model and actress, as well as her relationship with Dolce and Gabbana .
Your motoring editor, Smith, gets mawkishly British on us, as he reviews the Rolls Royce Wraith. Robinson reflects on his life-long love of Aston Martin and takes the DB9 for a test drive. Beauty editor Phelan plucks up the courage to get hair extensions, and rounds up this summer’s must-have cosmetics. The ever-intrepid and witty McNichol does the New York thing in style, Minns explains the sartorial rules of engagement, and I tuck a table cloth into my collar and take a big bite of London’s top restaurants.
Enjoy the summer – it won’t be long until we’re back to being our normal selves.
