Thanks for the info on Oct Vogue Nippon, iluvjeisa! I like the cover, but the content does not sound too promising. I think this has been my typical response to Vogue Nippon this year.
Oct. Lucky with The O.C.'s Rachel Bilson on the cover wearing a Marc by Marc Jacobs top is good and more than enough made up for their lackluster September issue. The accessories section was uncharacteristically dull, but all other sections are lovely. The sweaters are very nice (knits and flats are my thing for this fall), and one of my two favorite sections, how-to-wear-such-items-in-seven-days, has a glorious return (the other favorite would be "buy it now, wear it later").
Oct. Glamour with Ashley Judd on the cover is also surprisingly nice. It's funny that both Glamour's Aug and Oct issues are better than its Septembers. Anyway, inside, there is a one-pager devoted to a designer or a model or a singer. Liya Kebede (who's never been more luminously photographed), Lisa Marie, and Aerin Lauder are among the people featured. British up-and-comer Sienna Miller has a whole editorial to herself. Frankly, I don't get the buzz of S. Miller. She is not a fashion visionary a la Kate Moss, nor does she mix-and-match designer stuff to create personal style (actually she often wears the hottest designer from head to toe), and the fact that she looks way older than 22 just makes me think her 15 minutes of fame is about to end.
Oct. Cosmopolitan has Katie Holmes on the cover. She seems to be on their cover every year, and each time she appears she wears a cami-and-jean combo. This loose-knit top she is wearing is pretty out of sync with the going-on's of the season, and the jeans have a weirdly sloucy fit.
I know I bashed Sept Paris Vogue's cover, but I could not resisting buying the actual issue after seeing a beautiful YSL ad with Gemma Ward (wearing the Chinese-influenced evening gown). Inside, Gisele, Natasha Poly (Gothic makeup a la Louis Vuitton's FW 04 show), Daria (hairstyle ed), Michelle Buswell, Eugenia (styled by Carine Roitfeld and photographed by Patrick Demarchelier), and Natalia Vodianova (surprisingly, by David Sim, the best of the whole mag) are featured.
Perfume ad debuts:
Louis Pederson for MaxMara, in Oct. Marie Claire.
Hana for Gucci's Envy Me, in Sept Paris Vogue.
Unidentified (Eugenia? Michelle Alves?) for YSL's Cinema, in The New Yorker's Fall Preview.

Oct. US Elle is characterized by an abundance of great ads and lackluster fashion eds (M. Missoni as a model for couture???). Beyonce is criminally overexposed and the stylist made some uninspired choices with her--does Beyonce ever look different, anyway?
Notable ads:
Mikimoto pearls w/ May Anderson
Dior shades w/ Gisele Bundchen
Liz Claibourne w/ Trish Goff
Ralph Lauren Pink Pony polo shirt w/ Filipa
Chanel tweed bag (nice) w/ Diana Dondoe
And Amy Wasson has a gig, again!
Espirt w/ Jenkah
J Lo sweater w/ Ana BB
Versace glasses w/ Elise & Hana
Dolce & Gabbanas w/ Maja (nice clothes, bad setting, the Stella Tennant-Hannalore ones are superior)
Godiva w/ Frankie Rayder
Neiman Marcus w/ Tiiu
Nine West series w/ Fernanda
H&M w/ Julia Stegner, Roo, Isabeli Fontana, and Heather Marks
And the newsstand issue should feature an 8-pg Bloomingdales pictorial w/ Lilliane D.
Oct Vanity Fair cover boy Jude Law. Inside, Gisele is featured in a teasingly brief editorial and a lengthy interview that documented her struggle and ascent as a supermodel (a lot of it is new to me). Picture by Patrick Demarchelier. To promote her upcoming film debut, Gisele has already been doing magazine shoots non-stop. In addition to Sept. Bazaar and US Vogue, Oct's Vanity Fair, she's also logged the new Esquire cover, photographed by James White.

UK Vogue has gotten some flak for this cover. I don't find Elle MacPherson too appealing, but that Roberto Cavalli dress does look better here than on the runway worn by Gemma Ward.
Isabeli's Versace accessories ad. I believe this page is found in The New Yorker.

I got my new Vanity Fair today but I haven't had a chance to sit down and read it. I flipped through it and there are some stunning pictures of Gisele and I'm looking forward to the article on her.

US Cosmo Oct (Katie Holmes cvr) has a tweedy editorial fronted by May Anderson. Quite decent for Cosmo--the clothes are not outrageously bad.
US InStyle Oct has Reese Witherspoon in a red Dolce & Gabbana gown on the cover. Inside, she wears the green Alberta Ferretti gown that Scarlett Johansson wore to the Oscars in March. Not sure if Reese requested the designers, but she also wore frocks by Ferretti and Dolce in her brief but beautiful Vanity Fair spread.

That's Oct Bazaar with Kate Winslet on the cover. The Jacquetta Wheeler and Valentina fur ed is the best. Jacquetta looks amazing after a seasonal haitus, both in print and on the NY runway. Can't wait to see her appearance in Oct UK Vogue.
Stylistically, this issue is quite a dichotomy. On one hand you have the very conservative Jeisa "Runway vs. Yourway--How to Wear a Suit" editorial and the Elle McPherson (who looked surprisingly glowy and effortlessly cool) article which are your typical Bazaar stuff; on the other hand is a mediocre attempt at unexpected and artistry with the Gemma Ward evening wear (which includes gowns from Cavalli and other designers whose work is generally considered too outlandish to appear in Bazaar) and Diana Dondoe's leopard editorial. Still, I was glad to receive it for the Jacquetta editorial.

Mischa Barton for Jane. These are actually some of the nicest pictures of her I've seen. A must for fans of Mischa. This and the UK GQ, of course.
A little late on this, but Gisele's IT Vanity Fair pix are nice. Her bare thighs on the cover are sexy. Some have commented that its jungle theme, glittery clothes, and tan are too much like Kate Moss's Missoni campaign last season. Hello!! This is superior by far. Gisele is a natural. I just saw a preview for her debut movie "Taxi" and man, she is glowing.
The same issue also includes a fashion editorial with Julia Stegner. If you can find it in the book store, it is a thin issue, reasonably priced at USD $3.50.
And finally, Reese Witherspoon for InStyle:
Isn't it ironic that while her most serious role in a long time "Vanity Fair" completely tanked critically and box office-wise, the promotion still goes on? Don't forget that Sienna Miller is also in this issue.

So recently it seems that my magazines are delivered by Snail Mail (still waiting for my textbooks to come ). But Vogue, W, and Allure finally came in this weekend.
Mario Testino shoots Charlize Theron in YSL for Oct US Vogue cover. This image is one of the best things from this issue, along with Diana Dondoe's one-pager for Donna Karan and the article on Chanel's to-die-for limited-edition jacket. The fashion editorials range from mediocre (Daria looks like a middle-aged British aristocrat visiting her country house in tweed suits, by Mestino) to bad (Daria outshines Elise and Hana modelling volumnious coats, by Steven Meisel) to stinking (Caroline Trentini in god-awful eyeliner posing with a variety of digi-cams, by Arthur Elgort--almost identical to their Sept collaboration). Charlize Theron's editorial was an homeage to Helmut Newton but the air-brushing really diliuted the ferocity of it. And you can see Charlize's butt cleavage in one of the pictures--yes, we are talking about US Vogue.
Much has been said about Steven Meisel's "sexual revolution" editorial for Oct W, but if you've come across his most recent work for Italian Vogue (July and Sept) you'd realize the W ed is simply a replicate for his more superior works published else where. All of the eds have women dressed in tailored blacks (power suits, black little dress) seeking to please the opposite sex, or trying to get the men to please them. The first time I saw it I liked it somewhat, but now it's just a cliche.
The best ed is Paolo Roversi's photograph of Lisa Cant (genius casting), Heather Marks, and Caroline Trentini (darn, she was not this annoying when she first came out), all dressed in couture or at least couture-quality gowns from the ready-to-wear collections. The styling is superb, the atmosphere was signature Roversi, and if you don't have a subscription to W, this might be the only reason for you to invest in this issue. The ads and articles are pretty sub-par.
So, I might be the only person who still cares to mention Allure. It seems that, beginning this year, Elle has downgraded to Allure-quality and Allure is now, hm, Cosmo Girl-quality. This issue is a slight improvement, mainly because of the successful styling, but the content/articles are a waste of paper.
Eds:
Marija headlines Allure's beauty report. For once she looks comfortable beinga model! Too bad the beauty report itself was done in a half-@$$ed way.
Coat Check by Michael Thompson is a nice studio shoot with beautiful, wearable coats. I'd love it if the mods were not Rianne and Michelle Buswell (who's been in Allure 4 times this yr).
Top Secrets has a crimson-lipped Heather Marks. I like some of the clothes on the runway but I wish they could have been put together with more imagination here. Can't quite swallow as served.
The good news is that next month Diana Dondoe will have her Allure debut in a denim ed! Caroline Winberg will be in the beauty ed. Cover will go to Angelina Jolie, who also gets Nov. W to promote "Alexander."

I bought Italian Vogue today, my first Italian Vogue and loooooooooved it. I couldn't read the Italian, but Elise Crombez was on the cover and it came with an extra magazine which was also GREAT. I think this will be the only magazine I buy this month (with my own money..) because it cost $20. I wish US Vogue was this good.
I actually like Allure - rather. What I hate HATE HATE is the paper quality. I recently tried to scan it and it was a nightmare to get good scans from Allure. I didn't like the August issue too much but the July issue was very strong with beautiful eds with Angela, Marija and Caroline W. I really like the fact that they are using such beautiful models (Marija, Caroline).
Metro Pop - very nice interview with Patrik Rzepski, cool articles about other NYC desigenrs Indigo People and Duckie Brown, Interview with desigenr of LA label Petro Zilla, articles about very cool LA designers Material and Maryam Nassirzadeh, some fun editorials - one with are very own model Sasha, but one that compleately did not fit the vibe of the magazine at all. half the issue is about LA half about NYC, with 2 covers.
