People are busy writing, designing, singing and playing tennis. And, as always, we find those who should definitely be watched. Here are our heroes and heroines of the month.
Nadia Lee Cohen
Lense Flair
The best piece of advice Nadia Lee Cohen ever received was a lie: “Nobody thinks about you,” her brother told her on her first day at school. In the meantime, many people often think of the multi-talented girl. Both in front of and behind the camera lens, the 33-year-old stages her very own vision between glamor and gutter, kitsch and riot. For example, for Miu Miu and Balenciaga campaigns. Or in Aphex Twin’s new music video, where she herself gives the grand master of the bizarre a lesson.
Art that sometimes makes heads spin.
Goldie Boutilier
Brilliant performance
After your decadent vacation, do you only have enough money for either the new Lana Del Rey record or the new Sabrina Carpenter record? Then just buy Goldie Boutilier’s debut album. The Canadian is the center of a sparkling Venn diagram of the two superstars and is well on her way to becoming one herself. Lana’s Americana melancholy and Sabrina’s tongue-in-cheek “boys will be boys will be idiots” pop are mixed by Goldie to create a double on ice that will keep us up all night. Crying in bed and dancing on the bar counter.
If you dig in the pop mines, you’ll find top-class stuff.
Manny Jacinto
What a Man…ny

Freaking good every day of the week.
Nicola Formichetti
Meat and More
His flight of fancy was pre-programmed. The father? A pilot. The mother? Flight attendant. And the son? Nicola Formichetti has not only lifted the fashion world to seventh heaven in recent years. His collaboration with Lady Gaga at the start of her career created some unforgettable looks – most notably the strolling meat counter in which the singer attended the MTV VMAs in 2010. Now the former creative director of Mugler and Diesel and label head of Nicopanda has an appetite for more and has joined Mac as Global Creative Director.
Still has style aces up its sleeve.
Anna Prizkau
Cure de force
Her money will last until January. At least that’s what Anna Prizkau revealed in a recent interview. Then the advance on her debut novel “Women in the Sanatorium” will be used up. Anna quit her job as a journalist to write it. Among other things, it took her to Ukraine as a war reporter. The book, on the other hand, is about female cohesion. Where people wrestle with madness and the longing for faraway places brings surprising characters together. Fabulous. And we believe that coal will soon be coming in again.
From the battlefield to the madhouse: she likes it uncomfortable.
Nia Ivy
Beyond Parody
If you tell your parents that you don’t want to go to college and want to become a content creator instead, you risk a mother on the fainting couch and a father who tears his anti-stress ball to pieces. Unless, like Nia Ivy, you drop a TikTok video a few days after this confession, which has been viewed over 8 million times. Since then, the comedienne has become a star in her own right thanks to perfect parodies of Nicki Minaj and Kim Kardashian. Next stop: Hollywood. And, by the way, shake the pop-punk song “Encore” out of her sleeve.
Became an original through copies.
Irvine Welsh
Stayin’ Alive
They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. But you can teach an old man a new software program so that he can produce a disco album. And after all, this newly trained glitter ball lord is Irvine Welsh. With the novel “Men in Love”, the pop writer from Edinburgh has published the sequel to his definitive work “Trainspotting” and also added his own soundtrack as an album. Did Shakespeare ever play the keyboard for “Hamlet”? No? Exactly. 1:0 for Scotland.
Ain’t no stopping Trainspotting.
Noah Hawley
Televisionary
Hollywood is running out of ideas, of course. But there are people who create great cinema from the few ideas that are still lying around. Or rather: creating fabulous TV series from what used to be great cinema. Like television wunderkind Noah Hawley. His five seasons of “Fargo” even surpassed the cult film of the same name. Now the showrunner has the famous space beast hissing again for the prequel series “Alien: Earth”. And because we don’t want to be disturbed, we now call the silent function on our cell phones Hawley mode.
Out-of-this-world good television.
Elisa de Almeida
Style Offense
Our European champions were knocked out of the tournament in the quarter-finals. That was the end of the line for France’s female footballers at this year’s European Championships. This also meant that Elisa de Almeida’s summer vacation started a little earlier. Just as well, as the defender has more time to post on Instagram. There, Elisa looks better in a suit than most of the men in Milan’s cafés. With her androgynous styling, the Frenchwoman has become a style icon – for people who are more interested in David Bowie than David Beckham.
Converted the penalty into our hearts.
Molly Gordon
Bear with Her
Are they actually together now? Maybe they are. Probably. But it doesn’t really matter whether Molly Gordon and Jeremy Allen White are also a couple outside of their series “The Bear”. Because instead of lukewarm rumors, Molly is currently serving up comedies that make you swallow hard. Like “Oh, Hi!”, which actually makes you want to delete all your dating apps. The filmmaker and actress hits the zeitgeist with her themes and tone and ensures that we can still have a good laugh, at least in the movies.
Her films make you hungry for more.
Ben Shelton
Quick-witted
Serving the ball and losing matches. When Andy Roddick was the last American to win a Grand Slam tournament in 2003, Ben Shelton was wearing at most fresh diapers in white. But now the 24-year-old seems to be on the verge of breaking the spell. Ben recently won his first title at the Canadian Open. And the hearts of the crowd are flying to the popular player faster than his opponents’ backhands anyway.
Service, please!
And who was on last time? This group of cool talents.
