Cover Girls (And Guys)! Your Guide To This Season’s September Issues

5

The January of fashion is here! September issues and their star-studded covers have officially kicked off the autumn season. This month’s’ cover stars are all individual, though there’s a distinctly retro ’60s feel in the air—and plenty of lace and sheer textures. Though no celebs, stylists, or photographers repeat, there’s plenty to see….and, with the exception of Miu Miu (which nabbed two covers this month), a different brand holds the spotlight for each. Some shoots highlighted dream teams (Gigi Hadid and Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, Grace Coddington and Nicolas Ghesquière), while others featured surprise duos (Travis Kelce styled by…Law Roach?), or even left us thirsting for more (Shirtless Austin Butler. Enough said!). Take a deep dive into this year’s September issues right here—and let us know your faves!
