Welcome Note g lamour has never been a problem for our cover girl Constance Jablonski. The French model who first strutted down the runway in 2008 during New York Fashion Week, and has since graced numerous Vogue covers all over the globe (China, Germany, Portugal, Greece, Spain and Russia, to name a few). In 2010 she solidified her place in the great model canon with a coveted beauty campaign as one of the faces of Estée Lauder, alongside other titans of the industry including Liu Wen and Joan Smalls. For her first Bal Harbour cover, a fresh-faced Jablonski epitomized effortless glamour in a sheer black Gucci gown. For our second cover, she proves that Alexander McQueen's Sarah Burton is hitting all the right notes sporting a leather-and-pony-hair dress straight off the runway. In fact, the red-hot fashion label, recently opened another U.S. flagship store (following New York and Las Vegas) at Bal Harbour, where they are carrying the impossibly chic, but hard-to-score runway looks. Read Paris-based writer Alexander Marshall's insightful look at the brand, "Femme Fatale." Speaking of Paris, we did our first fashion shoot there this summer, where the seasoned lensman Satoshi Saïkusa collaborated with stylist Yasmine Eslami to showcase some of the most seductive looks of the season (don't miss the leather jumpsuit from Valentino). Also in this issue, Kate Betts, Harper's Bazaar's former editor in chief, takes a look at YSL (now re- branded as Saint Laurent Paris) and Dior, two fashion houses with new personalities at their helm, in "New Minimalism," which deftly examines how these directional shifts will significantly change the fashion landscape. Also altering that very landscape is a new crop of talent chosen by powerhouse writer Lynn Yaeger who interviewed the buzzed about brands in her piece, "Young Americans." If you don't know their names yet, trust us, you will soon. Last but certainly not least, don't miss our "Style Diary," where the style elite share their best fall finds—and their travel and culture ideas. It's the perfect section to tear out and stash in your purse and head to Bal Harbour armed with inspiration. We hope you enjoy this issue and—in the spirit of our cover girl—have a glamour-filled fall! Publisher/Editor in Chief Sarah G. Harrelson Publisher/Creative Director Carlos A.
