I don’t want to be a glorified model. They just walk on stage and it’s all about their clothes – یا lack of clothes.’

So for us, meeting Miley was very much to do having her bring her own persona to some of the season’s most iconic pieces - those سے طرف کی the likes of Saint Laurent, Fendi, Emilio Pucci and Simone Rocha. She rocks 10 pages of them - shot سے طرف کی Jan Welters - in our new issue, out 1 May.
