Heroine

Heroine - Issue 22

The Spring 2025 issue features Sophie Thatcher in a surreal NYC shoot, chatting with Elijah Wood about Yellowjackets and Companion. Diotima’s Rachel Scott discusses Caribbean heritage and empowerment with Alva Claire. Eileen Kelly and Ottessa Moshfegh talk mental health, while Naomi Ackie and Robert Pattinson discuss Mickey 17. Plus, interviews with Sylvia Snowden and Suzanne Lindon.

Sophie Thatcher—lover of all things surreal, twisted, and downright nightmarish—is photographed by Cass Bird in NYC. Thatcher catches up with co-star and fellow horror movie freak Elijah Wood to discuss her career, most recently as a dystopian, murderous lovebot in Companion, and her return to the dark woods of Yellowjackets.

Diotima

Everyone is obsessed with Diotima. Winner of last year’s CFDA American Womenswear Designer of the Year award, founder Rachel Scott reinterprets her Caribbean heritage through a contemporary, sensual design language. Scott is in conversation with friend of the brand and top model Alva Claire—the two discuss their grandmothers' doilies, trips to Jamaica, and empowerment through fashion.

Eileen Kelly

Eileen Kelly's podcast Going Mental is both viral and vital. Having experienced the internet at its most accepting—and its most abusive—Kelly uses her platform to destigmatize taboos and open up dialogue around sex, identity, and mental health. Sounds like a plot from an Ottessa Moshfegh novel—the award-winning author dials in to exchange experiences and views.

Naomi Ackie

Naomi Ackie stars in Bong Joon Ho's hotly anticipated new sci-fi epic Mickey 17 alongside Robert Pattinson (and his many clones). In conversation for our cover story, Naomi and Robert chat about their intergalactic experience.
