"Punk is in the air. It's an attitude, a style and an undercurrent that has been picked up by Punk: Chaos to Couture, a major new exhibition set to open in May at the MET in New York,"*writes*Vogue Pariseditor-in-chief*Emmanuelle Alt, in the May 2013 issue. It's an issue that captures the zeitgeist, bridging the canyon-sized gap between the rebel yell of the Costume Institute's headlining exhibition, opening May 9, and the high-octane glamour of theCannes Film Festival. The two extremes come together on the cover, featuringFreja Beha Erichsen, who has been absent from the magazine since August 2011 and the runway since Spring/Summer 2012, shot by*Inez & Vinoodh*as the tattooed beauty brings her own wild-child style to couture gowns for Spring/Summer 2013. The journey to the center of punk continues inside, with an interview with an original punk rocker, musicianRichard Hell, before we set sail for Cannes on the*Miss Vogue*yacht, stopping off on the Moroccan coast along the way, where we sample the latest scents inspired by Arabia. Don't miss our private audience with Film Festival regularJulianne Moore, beauty insider secrets from l'Oréal Paris make-up artist*Karim Rahman, and a dive into the deep blue Mediterranean at Cannes, with a look at the festival by*Garance Doré.
