VOGUE’s highly anticipated September Issue celebrates American Fashion by Going Global

Photographer Ethan James Green captured eight models, who are described by the magazine as “distinctively transfixing,” as they shimmy around the not-so-glamorous Condé Nast cubicles in the latest celebratory designer ensembles. The looks signify the sartorial return to sexy, with Kaia Gerber dressed in a tight Tom Ford mini dress and Lola Leon in a slinky, shimmery Michael Kors Collection look; Anok Yai’s in a glamorous Ralph Lauren Collection gown, while Bella Hadid poses in a sequined Christopher John Rogers creation; Yumi Nu dons a crimson, body-skimming Mara Hoffman midi dress, Sherry Shi a buttery Proenza Schouler suit; Precious Lee in Carolina Herrera and Ariel Nicholson in Christopher John Rogers round out the group.

The famed September issue always sets the tone for the next year in fashion and culture, which is why the glossy’s closely-watched Fall 2021 style pages are centered around the idea of new beginnings. Not only is it coming out as New York gears up for the first in-person fashion week in over a year, but it also marks the most extensive global content collaboration for Vogue since Condé Nast merged its international and U.S. branches and promoted Anna Wintour as its global head. Readers across the world will see a different model or celebrity on newsstands this month, but they will find many of the same images and profiles inside, including a feature spotlighting emerging designers and another on Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons.
