I looked through this issue online - through my local library - and while it's good to see so many ads in a September issue, it's a pity that I wouldn't look twice at 95% of them, and the memorable parts of the issue for me are the sections where it reprints or looks back at something that's gone before.
Iman's memories in the 'Nostalgia' section... I could have read an entire book's worth of those words, and about 200 pages later, I learn there's a forthcoming documentary about Kevyn Aucoin.
I also liked the interviews with the 'power people' like Oprah, Serena, Nicole and Calvin (no surnames needed) but everything that was modern seemed insubstantial by comparison.
And having read the issue online, I doubt there's a reason for me to buy it, because none of the editorials are THAT compelling.
