FEMALE’s April 2025 issue – unofficially dubbed A Guide to Feeling Less Alone and out on April 8 – is a celebration of community, creativity, and the power of connection. From fashion houses teaming up with artists to grassroots movements making art more accessible, this two-cover issue spotlights the many ways people come together to build, express, and inspire.
The first of two covers this month features fresh-faced models Jia Le (left) and Alexandra S (right), both represented by Now Model Management, making their debut on a magazine cover.
Highlights include stories on the creative partnerships behind fashion’s buzziest collaborations, conversations with emerging talents from Lasalle College of the Art’s Creative Direction for Fashion programme – a partnership we’ve proudly nurtured since 2021 – and a delightful invitation to draw without overthinking, courtesy of the grassroots art initiative, Senisini.
Serving up effortlessly ethereal beauty in statement runway looks from Loewe’s Spring Summer 2025 collection are homegrown models Serena Jane McNeill (left) and Saima Jha (right), both regular faces in the pages of FEMALE and represented by Misc Management.
We also explore cultural pockets and moments of joy – from the unexpectedly party vibes at Lagoon Laundry to the technicolour wonder of Hermes’ latest high jewellery collection. Look out for standout fashion stories too: Dior’s athletic silhouettes, Burberry’s playful trench reboot, Loewe’s ethereal Spring Summer 2025 looks, and the debut of Chanel’s new It-bag, the Chanel 25.
Whether it’s a community choir that bans phones or a night of shared stories with 16 creatives, this issue invites you to connect – with others, with your surroundings, and with yourself.
