While Hunter Schafer is known for playing intense roles in Euphoria and Mother Mary, she’s incredibly warm and open offscreen. And she thinks deeply about what it means to be human, especially after starring in Blade Runner 2099, a new take on the prophetic sci-fi franchise for Amazon Prime. Ahead of the show’s debut in November, Schafer posed for our new cover, art directed and photographed by Szilveszter Makó and styled by Jessica Willis. Makó, whose distinctive theatrical and surrealist style has captured the imagination of the fashion world, found an ideal muse in the actress, model, and painter (she carries her watercolors with her everywhere). She also opened up to Lotte Jeffs in an especially thoughtful and revealing interview, which you can read below.
