Hits and Misses: Magazine Covers of September 2024


As we steadily move into October, it’s time to reflect on the September 2024 magazine covers our fave fashion glossies bestowed upon us for the month. You’re undoubtedly fully aware the September issues are the most important date on the print calendar, and titles across the globe usually go ALL out to generate buzz. To commemorate Vogue Italia‘s monumental 60th anniversary, Francesca Ragazzi commissioned six show-stopping covers lensed by the legendary Steven Meisel. Anna Wintour shunned a traditional fashion photographer for American Vogue‘s September offering, enlisting the expertise of famed film director Baz Luhrmann to shoot Blake Lively (and Hugh Jackman). Nina Garcia at American ELLE called upon the K-pop sensation Lisa (of the girl group Blackpink) as a cover girl while Marie Claire China celebrated Chinese top model Liu Wen with an array of covers.

Scroll further to see which September 2024 magazine covers made the cut (and which flopped) this month, all in accordance to theFashionSpot’s unfiltered forum members:

MISS | Vogue China with Liu Yifei by Yu Cong

HIT | ELLE Czech with Karolina Kurkova by Branislav Simoncik
