Battle of the September Covers!

Lady Gaga tweeted a sneak peek of her US Vogue cover last night to her 28 million followers with the following caption:

"SHH DONT TELL TWITTER/SEPT ISSUE OF VOGUE MAGAZINE/ Sorry Anna but the underground kids deserve it. bisous!"

So now here's my dilemma, while I love that it's Lady Gaga and she is totally wearing that Marc Jacobs gown I am a little bit underwhelmed because I would have expected so much more from this cover.  The background is non-existent and does nothing in providing a comparable pairing when matched with Lady Gaga's electrifying personality.

So I'm going to let you decide which cover you think is the best between my pre-chosen winner, Daphne Groenveld on the cover of WSJ in my other post (here) versus mother monster, Lady Gaga on the cover of US Vogue:

US VOGUE: Lady Gaga

Best September Fashion Covers......so far!

For the fashion industry, the September issue is the biggest issue of the year.  Why? Simple, it's the start of the new fashion calendar. September is jammed packed and bursting at the seams with fashion.

September marks the start of the Autumn (Fall)/Winter fashion season, while at the same time the upcoming Spring/Summer fashion weeks kick-off.  New York Fashion Week kicks off the fashion week shows (which is followed by London Fashion Week, Milan Fashion Week and ends with Paris Fashion Week) is always the second week of September which as of late has been ushered in by Fashion Night Out.  This issue sets the tone for what the big trends, color palettes, and silhouettes are for the Autumn (Fall)/Winter season.

Aside from all of the amazing fashion happening, it's also the biggest time of the year for shopping.  Many retailers, magazines, designers, etc all depend on this time of year to make a huge percentage of their sales for the year.

Check out my round-up of my favorite September Fashion Covers thus far!

UK ELLE: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Fashion: Nina Dobrev

FLARE Canada: Lindsey Wixon

US Harper's Bazaar: Gwen Stefani

UK Harper's Baazar: Keira Knightley

Marie Claire: Miley Cyrus

Russh: Cara Delevingne

US ELLE :Katy Perry

Japan VOGUE: Karlie Kloss

ASOS: Rita Ora

I won't officially dubb this my favorite September cover because there is still one that has yet to be released and yes you probably have guessed it since you haven't seen it pictured above, it's US Vogue.  Anna Wintour has all of us eagerly anticipating what amazing ensemble Lady Gaga will be wearing, and who will be shooting her.

So in lieu of waiting for the US Vogue cover's release, Daphne Groeneveld on the cover of WSJ Magazine is hands down my favorite.  The feathered cape paired with her polished coif and perfectly accessorized ensemble has me re-thinking my once decided fall wardrobe of bright jewel tones & patterns for a monochromatic palette full of stunning edgy accessories (and if you know me this look just screams my style aesthetic).  

I will definitely "Go For Baroque" this Autumn (Fall)/Winter, how about you?
