The new Arena… with Gisele

It’s out today. The new edition of Arena, that is, containing the results of our exclusive photoshoot with Brazilian ubermodel Gisele. We’ve got 12 pages of amazing photos starring the most admired body on the planet, and the most stellar names in fashion, including John Galliano, Mario Testino and Dolce & Gabbana, tell us what Gisele means to them.

We’ve also got an exclusive interview with the most talked about man in football right now. David Bentley has just joined Tottenham Hotspur in a £15 million deal. The England winger tells us about ambition, addiction and filling the sainted boots of David Beckham. We look at the future of cricket as the sport of gentlemen embraces its new Twenty20 vision, and anticipate 17 days of action in Beijing with our Olympic survival guide and a report on the new generation of genetically modified drugs.

Naturally, the finest writers known to man have been slaving over a hot keyboard for Arena again this month. Toby Young asks if now’s the time to get out of the UK, John Niven steers us through the perils of selecting the right company car and Fraser Nelson assesses the sartorial state of affairs at Westminster. And we go behind the scenes of Dragons’ Den Afghanistan (yes, it does exist).

There’s also The Fashion Fifty, our indispensable guide to the shops, the styles, the looks and the labels you need to know this season, and 32 pages devoted to the new collections for autumn/winter.

The September 2008 issue of Arena is on sale now, priced £3.80, or click here to subscribe.
