CONTENTS

CONTENTS DYNAMIC Welcome to the latest issue of J-Magazine, which we have to say is a bit of a humdinger. Bringing you headline features on two British actors now firmly within Hollywood’s A-list – a road trip in the new XE with Idris Elba, the man who played Mandela in last year’s epic film, plus a world exclusive interview and photoshoot with the Oscar-nominated Benedict Cumberbatch – involves a fair amount of logistics. But we hope you agree when you turn the pages it’s been well worth it. Then there’s our lead product story on the fantastic new XF, a quick visit to Seoul to discover its hi-tech charms, some art appreciation with the magical Olafur Eliasson and a chat with some of the experts at Jaguar whose individual daily tasks are to collectively ensure tomorrow’s cars will be even greater. Dynamic stuff in other words... 62 54 58 28 CONTRIBUTORS David Ryle has shot for The Sunday Times Magazine and Esquire and took a dynamic approach to capturing the XF for this issue. “Climbing up into the ceiling rafters to shoot, I had to look down through a little hole onto the car. The view, while the studio was blacked out, bar the headlights of the XF, gave me a new perspective on everything” (see p16 and p78) Ellie Pithers is senior fashion news and features editor of The Telegraph, which is a long-winded way of saying she writes features, mostly about fashion as well as concocting trends. The most dynamic thing she’s done lately? “Last year I interviewed Debbie Harry and she told me she liked my boots. I haven’t felt so zestful in years” (see p42) Peter Stadden is a London-based designer formerly of Intersection magazine and now in the interiors sector. But his love for cars and graphic design remains, contributing to this issue with the Gadgets that connected infographic. The most dynamic thing he’s done recently? “Cycling around the alien tropics of Miyako-jima island in Japan.” We think that qualifies (see p54) 6 j THE DYNAMIC ISSUE

JAGUAR MAGAZINE

 

Jaguar Magazine celebrates creativity in all its forms, with exclusive features that inspire sensory excitement, from beautiful design to cutting-edge technology.

In this issue, we explore the art of creativity from the Brazilian masters who devised the graceful art of Capoeira, to the Irish artists mixing new culture with old. You will also discover the creative line that links Victorian wallpaper to the iPhone. While the multi-talented actor and performer, Riz Ahmed, explains why it is the right time to reveal his true self to the world.
