The issue contained interviews with Lana Del Rey, Florian Zeller and editorials featuring Angelina Kendall,[14] Karolina Spakowski,[15] Loli Bahia and more.[16] Along with this the page count was over 300 with 100 of that being advertising, 150,000 copies of the magazine were distributed for the launch issue.[1]
