Inside the May 2012 issue

Emily Blunt is just the beginning. Beyond the cover story (in which the actress with the wicked sense of humour shares her most mortifying moments and thoughts on fashion), the new issue is full of spring’s sharpest writing and best and brightest looks.

Pick up your copy to learn how a small Florentine leather-goods label grew into the style dynasty that is Fendi. Find out which song lyrics move stars like Michelle Williams, Coco Rocha and Emeli Sande. And meet the new minimalists making well-tailored waves in London boutiques.

Plus, see what some of London’s top fashion names wear to work in our special Style Spy focussing on designers in their studios. Discover the season’s best high-street buys and spring jackets. Read our profile of rap’s frank and mesmerising Azealia Banks, and see our Beauty Extremist’s look at the potential of laser treatments.
