Moralioglu is no stranger to the former era as his recent 15th-anniversary collection can attest \u2014 the designer looked to English socialites Dame Edith Sitwell and Lady Ottoline Morrell for inspiration, both Victorian champions of individuality and the arts, with values Moralioglu strives for since \u201cembracing individuality makes us who we all are.\u201d Models.com spoke briefly to Moralioglu about exploring his photographic creativity, working alongside Ib Kamara, and diving into his new menswear division for Erdem.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><a<small>Check out a preview of the issue below and be sure to pick up a copy when it hits newsstands today.<\/small> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><small><br \/>\n<strong> Cover Credits<br \/>\n<strong>Photographer<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/people\/erdem-moralioglu\">Erdem<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Fashion Stylist<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/people\/ib-kamara\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ib Kamara<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Models<\/strong>: <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/models\/florence-hutchings\">Florence Hutchings<\/a>, <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/models\/sienna-king\">Sienna King<\/a>, <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/models\/wang-han\">Wang Han<\/a>,<br \/>\n<a href=\"\/\/models.com\/models\/lily-nova\">Lily Nova<\/a>, and <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/models\/ngozi-anene\">Ngozi Anene<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Hair Stylist<\/strong>: <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/Teiji-Utsumi\">Teiji Utsumi<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Make Up<\/strong>:<a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/thom-walker\">Thom Walker<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Casting<\/strong>: <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/megan-mccluskie\">Megan McCluskie<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Production<\/strong>: Vladyslav Mykhnyuk, <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/lou-greenaway\">Lou Greenaway<\/a>, Maria Dawkins<br \/>\n<strong>Retouch and post-production<\/strong>: <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/paul-drozdowski\">Paul Drozdowski<\/a> <\/p>\n<div class=\"centerimg\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2021\/10\/vogue-poland-cover-3.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1311\" height=\"1630\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-140573\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2021\/10\/vogue-poland-cover-3.jpeg 1311w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2021\/10\/vogue-poland-cover-3-515x640.jpeg 515w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2021\/10\/vogue-poland-cover-3-1029x1280.jpeg 1029w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1311px) 100vw, 1311px\" \/><br \/>\n<small>Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/people\/erdem-moralioglu\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Erdem<\/a>.
