Cate Blanchett’s All Female Edition of W Is Here (W)
The long awaited woman-centric edition of W — guest edited by Cate Blanchett — is finally here! “All female collaborators, female photographers, female visions, creative acts, aspirations, and endeavors. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg,” she wrote in her editors letter. “Language is all-important, and the way one begins a conversation, whether it be with a director, the W team, or, indeed, the W readers, will influence the way the project and its outcomes unfold. I’d like to think this issue is one such opening gambit. A provocation to look at life through a different lens. We hope it’s a fresh, exciting, and inclusive one.”
