I already told you how excited I am about Vogue Australia when I posted about their latest cover with Isabel Lucas last Saturday. The fact that they're now focusing on summer wear instead of FW11 only adds to their strong aesthetic and point of view.
One of the main editorials inside the December issue follows the line of African inspiration that the cover suggests. In L'Afrique c'est chic, shot by Max Doyle and styled by Fashion Editor naomi Smith, Katie Fogarty slips into some of my favourite Proenza Schouler, Burberry Prorsum and Armani pieces from SS12.
Once again, I can't quite put my finger on what it is exactly that draws me to their imagery but I love every single picture, something I can't always say even with stories by Steven Meisel. I love the mixture of interior and exterior locations, especially the shabby cracked colourful walls.
The styling had a hint of 60's but feels very modern and the hair and makeup are perfect for it –they make a statement without being over the top. J'adore!

You know how keen I've become on Vogue Australia ever since their triple Arizona Muse cover of the October issue. It's a really interesting edition of Vogue not only because Australia's fashion scene is becoming more prominent every season but because they're seasons don't coincide with the mainstream of fashion. They don't really have a winter and they have summer coming at the moment.
Having Isabel Lucas on their latest issue was such a good move. This girl is the epitome of chilled cool fashion and I love how she mixes elements and experiments all the time. She looks really beautiful in the picture by Max Doyle.
I'm quite interested what they've done with the African theme that seems the be the focus for December –it's funny to think Vogue UK had that tacky picture of Giselle to celebrate the holidays. Fashion always tends to do the same things with African motifs and prints but having someone quirkier like Isabel on the cover makes me think they might have done something different.

I had never kept a close eye on Vogue Australia until I came across their September issue cover with Katie Fogarty wearing Louis Vuitton shot in a very straight forward and modern way.
Their October issue triple cover has only got better. Arizona Muse, shot by Kai Z Feng, is the face of all three covers, where they crown her as fashion's new muse –finally someone is giving her some very deserved attention! If I'm not wrong this is her second/third Vogue cover –she's previously been on Vogue Korea and shared cover space with Freja Beha Erichsen on January's Vogue Italia issue. So this is a big deal.
I remember reading that Anna Wintour was a big fan of Arizona and had even mentioned in the past that she reminded her of Linda Evangelista! I am hoping this is the beginning of a lot more big covers and gigs. I guess Anna wouldn't put her on the cover but maybe Emmanuelle will?

Since I sort of missed the opportunity to stop and comment on each of my favourite September 2011 covers I thought I would do a roundup (and a gif).
It would be fair to say that, Vogue Paris aside, my absolute favourite is W's cover with Kristen Stewart by Mert & Marcus. It's such a different look for her –soft and girly, very pin-up– and it works so well. I love the over-the-top cat-eye makeup, the big hair and the balanced layout.
I wouldn't say that Kate Moss by Mario Testino for US Vogue has lived up to my expectations but it's still great cover. I really like the pose –a good change from Vogue's usual boring close-up crops. The purple McQueen on Kate looks incredible and is in the line of her boho-Medieval wedding style.
It's crazy to think Harper's Bazaar España has only been around for a year. They are rocking the magazine scene in Spain. Constance Jablonski looks fierce in Dsquared2 and I love the twist of her holding onto the Z.
Beyoncé's UK Harper's Bazaar and Katie Fogarty's Vogue Australia's covers are neck and neck. The cover photography is definitely September-issue worthy. They're both straight up and don't try to hard, which I appreciate.
And lastly, Flare, which I already posted a few days ago but I thought it deserved another, bigger, mention. I am struggling to get a hold of a copy in London but I will
keep trying!
