"All I kept hearing was 'Honey, you gotta change this; your hair's this; your legs are that; you're not enough this; you're not enough that; you're too much this; why are you wearing that?'

A Roundup of All 51 September Issue Covers So Far
I don't have to tell you that the September issue is the most important issue of the year... But in case you're living under a rock without a copy of The September Issue, it is. Lucky for us, just about every magazine's September issue cover has been revealed, from Vogue US romantic Kate Moss shot to a sexy Cindy Crawford on the cover of Harper's Bazaar Singapore. Still missing from the pack is V's highly anticipated cover styled by Carine Roitfeld and Vogue Italia's cover. From the existing covers we've discerned that Louis Vuitton is the new Prada. Vuitton's AW11 collection appears on 6 of the 51 covers shown here - more than any other label, so far. And don't forget that LOVE's model covers hit newsstands on September 1! Will you be getting a Lara or a Mariacarla? (p.s. Yes, that is Leigh Lezark on the cover of Harper's Bazaar Korea - it's the last slide.)
Blast from the Past: Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Helena Christensen and Duran Duran Make Fashion History
Earlier this week, some sort of huge photo/video shoot happened in London involving Duran Duran, Domenico Dolce, Stefano Gabbana, Harper's Bazaar UK and super models Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Helena Christensen, Eva Herzigova and Yasmin Le Bon (wife Duran Duran's Simon). The next day, Duran Duran's John Taylor tweeted "I'm coming down from a glamour overdose. I've a glamover" and Harper's Bazaar UK's Lucy Yeomans tweeted, "This has to have been one of the most extraordinary days of my life. A little bit of fashion history made!" We first found out that a supermodel-y Duran Duran video was in the works a few weeks ago when Naomi was rumored to be rounding up a group of supermodel friends for them. The actual shoot was in London, not the South of France, as was rumored (unless another part of the shoot took place there). Also, Kate Moss, who was rumored to be taking part, did not seem to be involved with this week's shoot, unfortunately. Lucky for us, just about everyone who was involved in the supershoot is a ferocious internet oversharer and, thanks to Fashionologie's trolling, we already have pictures and a few details of what will culminate in, at least, a serialized viral music video for Duran Duran's single "Girl Panic" and a Harper's Bazaar UK cover shoot.

We Rank the September Covers
It's a truth universally acknowledged that September fashion magazine covers are the most important of the year. With fall just around the bend, September issues are packed to the brim with the newest trends. (They're also packed with advertisements, essential to a magazine's survival.) And if there's one thing you can say about this year's September covers, it's that the good covers are great and the bad ones are truly horrible. Notably absent from the bunch are Vogue Paris and Vogue Italia, whose cover images have not surfaced yet, but are sure not to disappoint. Click through to see the best and worst of September's covers!
