With its appealing blend of art, culture and fashion Doingbird never disappoints us and the latest issue looks especially promising. With Marte Mei van Haaster gracing the cover in a striking shot by Benjamin Alexander Huseby, followed by a creepy cool editorial that oozes chic, quite literally. We haven’t seen anything quite like this before and considering the amount of magazines we pour over, that is saying something! Inside you’ll also find exciting new content featuring Julia Nobis and contributions from everyone from Patti Smith and Ruth Hogben to Daniel Jackson and Rick Owens.

Hanaa Ben Abdesslem is a one of the girls to watch this season and with good reason; Carine Roitfeld enlists the beauty for her final issue of Vogue Paris in a creative beauty story by Karim Sadli. The colorful story, styled by Melanie Huynh and featuring the makeup talents of Christelle Cocquet, is a shot in the arm filled with unique and colorful cosmetics looks.

Many models have attempted to imitate the allure of Grace Jones, but few have succeeded in capturing the icon’s appeal. In the latest Vogue Paris, Rose Cordero transforms into a young Grace and displays the elegance and intensity that made Ms. Jones legendary. Paola Kudacki‘s vivid photographs and Melanie Huynh‘s retro styling, help to make this the perfect tribute to all things Grace.

Among the standouts of Vogue Paris‘ September issue are Tao Okamoto‘s stunning turn as late fashion icon Tina Chow. With her flame red lips and intense presence, Tao channels Tina’s signature look but brings her own charm to Paola Kudacki‘s elegant jewelry themed story styled by Melanie Huynh. With each passing story Tao shows just why she’s becoming one of the most in demand faces around.
