Miley Cyrus Recruits Dolly Parton, Noah Cyrus, Sky Ferreira & More for Major New Project | Just Jared - Celebrity News and Gossip

Miley Cyrus is taking over Wonderland.

The 33-year-old “Flowers” superstar guest-edited the Summer issue of the magazine, created in collaboration with Chief Creative Officer Alastair McKimm.

The special issue will be available from July 27 at wonderlandshop.com and at select retailers, including Casa Magazines and Iconic Magazines.

Here’s more about what’s inside the issue:

The special issue brings together a cross-generational group of artists and creatives Miley admires, alongside family members, and longstanding friends who have helped shape her personal and creative world through the years. Dolly Parton, Daryl Hannah, Tish Cyrus-Purcell, Noah Cyrus, Kelela, Lykke Li, Sky Ferreira, 070 Shake, Towa Bird, Suzanne Vega, Tallulah Willis, Scout Willis, Phantogram, Model/Actriz, and more, appear across the issue.

The issue takes shape through interviews, profiles, visual portfolios and personal archives, offering a collective portrait of Cyrus through the people and ideas she has chosen to bring into conversation, while giving her a platform to champion artists whose work resonates with her. The resulting exchanges move between creativity, identity, humour, transformation, artistic independence and the importance of remaining connected to one’s instincts.

The issue also includes a portfolio by Mario Sorrenti, including cover and editorial images.

Miley wrote in her opening letter that she’s “always loved when worlds collide.”

“Getting to place my voice into the mix alongside so many creatives I admire, all the artists featured in the issue, and of course Mario and Alastair, was a dream come true,” she added.

In a wide-ranging conversation with Daryl Hannah, Miley opened up about her career and her outlook on life.

See highlights from the conversation inside…

On guest-editing Wonderland:

“Working alongside people I love and seeing an idea through from beginning to end. None of us did this because we had to. It was completely driven by desire and inspiration. I also loved getting to champion artists I admire. Being surrounded by kind people while creating beautiful imagery at the same time is the dream.”

On creativity and exchange:

“Staying around creative people, because it’s contagious. It’s almost like brain envy. I love being around poets, writers, artists, painters, directors, photographers: people who see the world in a way I don’t. They plant little seeds in my brain that grow into my own thought forest. Creativity breeds creativity. It multiplies when it is shared.”

On making work that lasts:

“Art that you genuinely love feeds you in a way applause never can. I think people will always find their way back because it’s human nature to want to make something that lasts.”

On making records:

“For me, a song isn’t just chords, melody, and lyrics. It’s a feeling. It’s not right or wrong like an answer. It’s alive. It almost becomes its own little entity that tells you what it needs if you’re listening. I love making records with people who aren’t precious about ideas. Everyone is there because they’re excited by the same thing. There’s no ego in the room when it’s working. Just curiosity. It’s really special to be surrounded by people who want to surprise each other and are comfortable throwing an idea away or expanding on it.”

On the mystery of songwriting:

“I love feeling aligned with my purpose, my power, and my gifts. I feel closest to something bigger than myself when records flow through me. It’s almost impossible to describe. It’s like waking up from a dream you can still feel in your body even though you can’t fully explain it logically. Songwriting feels like crossing over to another side sometimes. A new song can feel like I’ve already heard it before. Even if it isn’t finished yet, I somehow know exactly what it is, almost like I’m remembering it instead of creating it. That’s the mystery I love.”
