Wire Hangers: "Frivolity must have its foundations" -Anna Wintour

Dearest Reader,

Well, it’s nearing the end of September-, which means that everyone has had time to buy THE September issue of Vogue and peruse through the 584 pages of fabulous fall fashion. The September issue of Vogue is one (if not THE) most important issue of the year- for it is the debut for all the autumn styles and fads. The September issue is notorious for hundreds of pages filled with the best of the best in the fashion world- and this year is no exception. Anna Wintour, Editor-in-Chief at Vogue, and her creative clan of fashion geniuses have outdone themselves once again by bringing readers all the style trends for the coming months.

A couple of our favorite features from this years September issue are “into the woods” shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott and “In the Mood” shot by Steven Meisel.

Over the past years Vogue has been known for having features based on different fairy-tale stories with a fashionable twist. Whether it is Drew Barrymore as Beauty from “Beauty and the Beast” or Keira Knightly as Dorothy from “The Wizard of Oz” Vogue has always had an eye for fantastic fashion for the fantasy world. This year, model Natalia Vodianova portrays the role of Little Red Riding Hood for a fall inspired pictorial narrative. Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Vera Wang and Alberta Ferretti are just a few of the designers whose clothing is featured. Besides beautiful photos and wonderful fashion the main point behind this article is that the color for the fall is red, red, red. So, dearest reader, you best travel outside of your comfort zone and bust out the red for it is sure to be everywhere. If you have not seen these pictures make sure you check them out!

Another aspect of this September’s issue to check out is “In the Mood.” These pictures, shot by the wonderful Steven Meisel, show models dressed in attire that is wonderfully reminiscent of the 1940s. Gloves, hats and pumps combined make these stunning outfits come alive with vintage-like appeal. This is also a “must-do” trend for this season.
