As we inch closer to fall and what is usually the most anticipated month for magazine covers, the acknowledgment that the world we live in today is nothing like we’ve seen before. Known for being a celebration of fashion, the largest issues, and the turning of a new season, the September issue is taking on a new tone this year. We need to recognize the environment around us and how this relates to fashion because though we don’t always talk about that intersection, it exists. While we are looking forward to hundreds of pages filled with beautiful pieces and editorials, our focus is on the stories that will be told.
