For our 35th issue, we focus on those whose work shapes our society in fashion and entertainment. Exuding talent and ambition, our pages shed light on the tastemakers taking over the world with blood, sweat and tears: inspiring generations, serving as role models and having fun all the while. The perfect example is our cover star Rosalía, photographed in Los Angeles by Vince Aung.

Fellow Spaniard Álvaro Soler reveals how the economic climate prompted his start in music. Stateside, electronic duo SofiT ukker talks promoting inclusiveness through music; Beth Ditto discusses feminism, queer culture and body-positivity and, on the other side of the pond, Australian sensation Cody Simpson addresses climate change. Going from the classics to the breakthroughs, we catch up with the passionate Donna Missal, the heartfelt Jessie Reyez and the unstoppable Jacob Sartorius. In film and TV, the innately talented Maika Monroe humbly explains her start in Hollywood; Scott Haze details what it takes to be an anti-hero in the next blockbuster Venom; Misfits’ Robert Sheehan talks survival mechanisms ahead of Peter Jackson’s Mortal Engines; we meet up with iconic German actress Iris Berben to discuss the social importance of her new project The Typist and Steven Yeun tells us about life (and work) after The Walking Dead.

Pomellato right here, right now ____________ With upcoming series, The Typist, iconic actress Iris Berben is at the forefront of a new wave in German television. Iris Berben is already a household name in Germany. As an actress, her career spans over 40 years and includes more than 60 performances, she has been the President of the German Film Academy for nine years and her decades of political activism have ranged from helping refugees access education to fundraising for neuroscience students. Now, she is about to gain worldwide recognition by joining the ranks of Jane Fonda, Helen Mirren and Julianne Moore as a face of L’Oréal Paris’ Age Perfect campaigns. Back home, Berben continues to break new ground. In miniseries The Typist, or Die Protokollantin, Berben takes on the title role of Freya Becker, a typist in the Berlin police’s homicide division trying to solve the mystery of her daughter’s disappearance 11 years before. High-end streaming is a relatively new phenomenon on German television and The Typist is a vital part of its first wave. “I have had this feeling for a long time that the audience is ready to change and be confronted with something they don’t expect,” the actress explains, “so this was really a big deal that we could do this. Let’s see what it brings.” “We really tried to have a new look and to create our own language and temperature for the audience,” Berben continues. “It’s a crime story, but it’s more a personalised drama of a woman in the discussions we have day-to-day. There is a need for stronger women in movies and television – women from everyday life – giving them a big story.” In Berben’s upcoming projects (she has several films in post-production), she often portrays resilient women with a darkness to them – protagonists who deal with oncoming obstacles with grace and full force. The Typist “was a story that needed to be told,” she says. “A woman who spends nearly all her life recording how perpetrators lie, or explain why and how they killed or raped women and children. What does this do to a woman?” Freya abandons her social life, living in grief and isolation with nothing but the criminal confessions. “She is a woman who is hardly seen – the opposite of what most of my parts [have been], which are women who enter the room and claim their place. This kind of psychology was very interesting to me [as] an actress thinking of how to show this in a complex way. She has to decide at a certain point: what is bigger, love or death?” Berben has noticed a large shift in the roles that she is now being offered. As such a big mainstream star, she takes pride in the fact that she is taking on starring roles on up-and-coming platforms and in interesting work being shown throughout the film festival circuits. “It’s beautiful,” she states. “We are telling grown-up stories. Grown-up stories don’t have to be dull. This is what I always say, and I know what I am talking about – I’m 68! The offers I am getting now and for next year – and even the year after – are such interesting parts. We really seem to have entered a time where we are interested in new stories and biographies of women, not just looking at ‘how do I get my next husband?’” In the wake of the #TimesUp movement, more and more established actors and creatives are using their platform to speak out, but Berben has always been a mouthpiece for those that need it most. “Political work seems to be more important than ever,” she states. “My input is to take care of the society we live in. There are too many people right now who don’t want to leave their comfort-zone and react to what happens worldwide. For me, growing up in the 60’s gave me an opportunity to realise that building society means that you are the society.
