All the September Issues, Analyzed: Find Out Which Look, Which Model, and Which Photog Scored the Most Covers

For the past month, we’re sure that you’ve heard time and time again about the importance of the September issue. It is one of those fashion truths we hold to be self-evident. But what does that really mean, and why? Yes, it’s the month which produces magazines that can be used as semi-violent weapons, where ads skyrocket and page numbers are reported on covers like baseball stats, but the truth is that the content of those magazine hold what editors consider to be the best of the upcoming fall season.

For this reason, we decided to put the September issue under a microscope. We’ve scoured dozens of issues from around the world, and now it’s time to take a look at which designers, photographers and models were sought after for the most important issue of the year.

Former Vogue Russia EIC Aliona Doletskaya is Launching Two European Editions of Interview Magazine

Aliona Doletskaya‘s departure from Vogue Russia raised more than a few questions, but mostly people just wondered, “Where would she go next?”

Despite rumors that she would replace Anna Wintour at American Vogue, or Carine Roitfeld at Vogue Paris, the most likely scenario was that she would take over Pop from fellow Russian Dasha Zhukova.

Instead, Doletskaya will launch two European editions of Interview magazine–one in Russia at the end of 2011 and one in Germany at the beginning of 2012. She will serve as editor-in-chief of both publications.

This is great news for Doletskaya, but it’s also good news for Brant Publications, the publisher of Interview.

Extreme Close-Up: Interview’s Cover Conundrum

Interview’s August cover of Marion Cotillard hit the web yesterday, and while there’s no doubting it’s a beautiful image (it’s pretty difficult to make Marion Cotillard look bad), it strictly conforms to Interview’s standard cover composition: a tight shot of a woman’s face in a black, white, and red palette.

Including Marion’s cover, Interview’s past three covers, Megan Fox, Madonna, and Carey Mulligan all follow this basic composition. Out of their nine 2009 covers, six are female close ups in white, black, or red. We can’t help but wonder, why?
