15. America

The 15th and possibly the most anticipated issue in ages, with more pages than any of its predecessors the America issue is a bonanza of stylish and remarkable imagery that has no comparison in the magazine world.

This issue includes an interview with legendary photographer Albert Watson plus features on Saatchi artist Emily Prince, Former child soldier and campaigner Emmanuel Jal and a look at MIAMI - America's new capital of culture plus all the usual stuff you love about 125. We also welcome back some regular contributors who've had a few issues off such as Rankin, who has shot a horror/humour story inspired but teen slasher movies. Valerie Philips is also back, this time in a bowling alley, and prosthetic artist, Bill Turpin (who worked on the Japan cover with Finlay Mackay) has teamed up with Max Oppenheim this time to produce a very strange series of portraits which you'll have to wait and see. Here's the full list of contributors: Alyson Aliano, Barrie Hullegie, Deirdre O’Callaghan, Derrick Santini, Drew Jarrett, Gitte Meldgarde, Jamie Smith, Jason Hetherington, John Gripenholm, John Midgley, Max Oppenheim, Paul Farrell, Paul Vickery, Perry Curties, Rankin, Simon Mills, Steve Harries, Taki Bibelas, Tim Richmond, Valerie Philips, Yossi Michaeli.
