Reel talk • These new coffee table books celebrate the power of the silver screen as influence, inspiration and even location.

SOPHIE WILDE • In a few short years, Sophie Wilde has rocketed from drama student to Dior ambassador and Hollywood shooting star. Hannah-Rose Yee meets her in Sydney, where it all began, before she makes her biggest move yet.

ON POINT • Demna’s Gucci woman has arrived fully formed, rekindling the house’s 90s Italianate glamour with a sharp new angle. She powers up in taut eveningwear, angular pumps and horsebit bags that are hard to miss - and impossible to forget.
