The September Issues are popping out and I think Harper's Bazaar is killing the others. Their US edition is beyond. I can't find the editorial with Naomi, but she's having fun with monkey, riding animals and running with others, the issue shows supermodels and you can tell!

Or, as shown above, supermodels with no makeup. Beauty that may not be 2009, or maybe it's just very 2009 in a way, a weird way. I think it's beautiful how a magazine can show two sides of fashion, the personal pure one and the high-fashion more extreme aswell. Not crossing borders, only pushing them.

And with Natalia on the UK issue. Plus, the size of the issue, go check! The Harper's Bazaar, I have to see part of the Vogue ones, but.. so far these two are on top. Beyond sublime, j'adore!

Oh and yes, I do think the Leighton Meester and Agyness Deyn covers for the US edition aren't the best picks. I also think the Agyness as Michael Jackson story, which is styled in a massive way, should belong in i-D or Dazed. Not in Harper's Bazaar.
