Mission’s latest issue is dedicated to the LGBTQIA+ community, a group that has historically experienced systematic marginalization and oppression at alarming rates. But, as has been proven time and time again, where there is struggle, there is creativity. To honor the cultural architects shaping the modern world – from Donatella Versace, Munroe Bergdorf, Cynthia Nixon, and Fabien Baron, this issue leaves no creative stone unturned. Read below for 5 reasons to buy.

1. Get lost in Hollywood via our 20-page Dior Makeup shoot, in which Sam Visser photographed, creative-directed, and made up model Bryce Anderson for a dreamy New Hollywood-inspired spread.

3.

4.
