When we began plotting our Fall Issue, we were in agreement that something felt just a little bit different this season. The Fall collections—typically an ode to serious silhouettes and richer palettes—are looking a lot more playful. For our cover story, "Word Up," Contributing Fashion Director Sarah Gore Reeves captured the spirit with model Anais Mali, who wears the best of these lighthearted looks— including pieces from Gucci, Valentino and Moschino that literally make a statement! The energy on that set, captured by Victor Demarchelier, was positively infectious. Stylist Seppe Tirabassi pillaged the collections for more of Fall's feel-good looks, which Joshua Jordan photographed on model Flavia Lucini in "Too Good to Be True." From Roberto Cavalli's rock and roll suiting to Salvatore Ferragamo's colorful capes, this is the season of self-expression. The Fall is also a big moment for culture, and we take a look at a few major exhibitions that are high on our agenda. First, at the Seattle Art Museum, a career retrospective of Yves Saint Laurent—who was the first fashion designer to be exhibited at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Then, at the Dallas Contemporary, iconic lensman Bruce Weber is thrust into the spotlight with his first-ever fashion exhibition, culled from thousands of archival images. We also celebrate a few figures who help shape the way we experience such outings, like philanthropist Nita Ambani, who is almost single-handedly popularizing Indian art in the U.S., as well as the book editor Jim Heimann, whose own collections of ephemera—from surfing to vintage restaurant menus—have led to some of Taschen's most popular books. And our own Sarah Gore Reeves was inspired by the ballet, creating an enchanted fashion shoot (with the help of a few young ballerinas) channeling Fall's most romantic looks. This issue also calls out a few organizations that are wielding their influence to create substantial change in the world, including Jake Wood's Team Rubicon and Zachary Iscol's Headstrong Project, which are each dedicated to aiding and empowering military veterans. You won't want to miss their incredible stories of courage, and perhaps you'll even be moved to get involved yourself. Last but not least, we'd like to welcome a few of the beloved brands opening this Fall at Bal Harbour Shops: 3.1 Phillip Lim and Aquazzura—both of which you can read about in the issue—as well as IRO and Gianvito Rossi. And be sure to check out some of our longstanding residents, including Moncler, Fendi, Harry Winston, Kiton and Giuseppe Zanotti, all of whom have recently unveiled new boutiques.
