Scarlett, Rooney, Keira and More Cover W
For its November issue, W is celebrating its 40th anniversary with four special oversized covers–each of which pays tribute to one decade in the magazine’s history.
Shot by Steven Meisel and styled by Edward Enninful, the covers and corresponding editorial feature Rooney Mara, Mia Wasikowska, Scarlett Johansson, and Keira Knightley all made up to look like they just stepped out of the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s and Aughts, respectively.

Who’s Covering What: All the September Issue Cover Stars Revealed
It’s that time of year again. Nope, we don’t mean Comic Con–we’re talking about September glossy cover reveals. September issues are traditionally the cash cows for any fashion mag, and whoever graces the cover can make or break that month’s sales. Today WWD revealed a slew of covers–and we’ve added some reveals of our own.
Overall it’s not a very surprising list.

Fashion News Roundup: Franca Sozzani Won’t Attend Meetings, Carey Mulligan Covers W in a Bra, and See Lindsay Lohan’s Full Playboy Spread
Franca Sozzani Doesn’t Do Meetings: The long-time EIC of Vogue Italia told Industrie that she never – NEVER! – participates in sit-downs because “responsible and creative” people “don’t need to have a teacher.” I think my elementary school art teacher would respectfully disagree with that statement, Ms. Sozzani. {Telegraph}

Candice Huffine On Her W Editorial, Padding and ‘Being Called Just a Model’ (Not Plus)
First it was Crystal Renn, then Marquita Pring, and now Candice Huffine is the latest plus model poised to break the mold. She recently landed the cover of Vogue Italia, a milestone considering the cover featured three plus-size models without designating them as “curvy” or “plus,” and makes a stunning appearance in W’s September issue. Just this morning, W‘s new fashion director Edward Enninful Tweeted “I am loving Candice Huffine @FordModels @models. So beautiful xoxo,” which makes us think we might be seeing Huffine in another issue of W in the near future.
We chatted with the model on the rise about her recent successes, her take on size in the fashion industry, and whether she’s ever had to pad for jobs.
Fashionista: How does it feel to be in the all-important September issue for the fashiony-est of mainstream glossies, W? What was the shoot like?
When the shock of the shoot wears off maybe I can express what I’m feeling! It’s just beyond special and I feel honored to have been chosen and everyday I shake my head and giggle a little at how much has changed for me recently. Like Vogue, shooting with Meisel and his team is like a fairy tale…the most beautiful clothing, the nicest people, a calm set where you just know the end product is going to be nothing short of spectacular. I feel so lucky.
And how did it feel to land the cover of Vogue Italia–especially without any modifiers like “curvy issue”?

Fashion News Roundup: Lady Gaga’s Sister Has Design Aspirations, Gucci Designed a Car, and Chanel Says Coco Did Not Have Nazi Ties
Lady Gaga’s Sister is a Candidate for an Off-Broadway Design Gig: Though Lady Gaga has all of the fashion connections in the world, her little sister Natali Germanotta, a budding designer, is starting small. The 19-year-old is being considered to design costumes for a new off-Broadway production called “Simon Says.” It will be interesting to see how Natali’s aesthetic compares to Gaga’s. {WWD, Subscription Required}
