Context? I don't know anything about the magazine beyond having seen it at the grocery checkout my entire life

Multiple meanings here, but tops for me is sitting with an actual paper magazine every Labor Day weekend for decades and reading it, outside, with an iced coffee.
The group of models pictured were older sister figures for me. I’ve seen most of them walk the runway live during NY fashion week, when I was a reporter.
Why do we care so much about models? They're basically just marketing conduits, and some are just better at collaborating to express style messages than others.
The September issue of Vogue is so famous that it was made into a movie. Women have used it as an example of spending power, and gained venture funding.
Most of the competitor magazines aren’t even in print any longer; some have gone digital. At least I’m not chain-smoking while reading it; I quit a decade+ ago. Really glad I left the industry when I did because there was and is still no path forward for digital publishing, really.
There was so much promise in digital publishing. I loved all the interactive stuff but someone has to make it. Maybe with AI, it can do the design stuff, Make it interactive and humans write the articles. 🤷🏻
