Fashionable Spread

Back when magazine shops were abundant and it was easy to grab the latest issues of magazines, most of my afternoons or after-work walks would lead me to Bufini, National Bookstore, Mag:Net and Filbars. They would be my sources for issues - both the latest ones and back issues - particularly of fashion magazines.

One of my favourite magazine cover formats would be the "fold-out spread." It would usually be a special issue and the cover would fold out to 3 or more panels to reveal an impressive array of models, actors and actresses, or influential people.

The magazines that do this often are Vogue and Vanity Fair. Sometimes, InStyle would do it, but they'd usually feature one model in different looks per panel.

While browsing through the September issue covers of magazines online, it was awesome to see how American Vogue is continuing this tradition.

Their cover is a spread of models-du-jour, and they showcase diversity in their choice of cover girls. Another innovative move from Vogue, and this is something to be expected from a fashion pioneer like Anna Wintour.

Diversity has never been this fashionable!
