The September Issue : Redefining Cover Girl


Bless September. The fashion holy month that delivers us with the latest version of the bible - AKA, Vogue's September Issue. This year's 902 page magazine spoiled us with the most fashion ads and articles we've seen since the recession. The latest issue was also my personal favorite September issue since Kate Moss' wedding coverage in 2011. The profile on Jennifer Lawrence was extremely refreshing with its awareness and genuineness. Titled "Star Quality", the cover story examined Lawrence's rise to fame and how despite her movie star power, she's stayed down to earth.


The hyped up September issue is all about the revamped fall wardrobe and the start of new trends that will truly impact the rest of the year. With Jennifer Lawrence on the cover, Vogue is turning a new page on what it means to have star quality in today's age. Gone are the days of the media adoring the idea of the tailored to perfection actresses like Julia Roberts or Gwyneth Paltrow. With Lawrence, it goes beyond liking the relatable girl who can additionally rock designer flocks. This is the girl who won an Oscar then tripped in Dior and flirted with Jack Nicholson in the most fangirl manner. She's sincere, and in an industry where stars don't have the most fortunate fate, that revamps the ideal cover girl. The September issue is the blockbuster issue and Jennifer Lawrence is most definitely redefining what it means to be a blockbuster star.

(Sidenote: "Cinderella Story" is another stand out piece totally worth checking out!)

"I'm still getting used to everything. It makes me a little emotional, just to see how quickly everything changes." 
-Jennifer Lawrence
