September is the biggest month in the fashion world. With the transition of summer into fall and the freshness of the back-to-school season, everyone is ready to shop for a new wardrobe. For fashion magazines, this means that their September issue has the most attention and influence. Magazine editors strive to make their September issue the boldest of the year, bringing in the biggest celebs to grace their covers. This year’s September issues are even more memorable because they mark a record high number of black women as cover stars and Beyonce’s creative control including the first black photographer to shoot a Vogue cover.
