The Fall Issue

Nothing fills my soul with joy quite like the turn of the season. Especially this season in particular. Summer gives me a hazy, humid, glimmery feeling—which is lovely—but fall? Fall is where my heart is. I want to lounge in cozy knits and big socks. I want to purchase brand-new trousers, boots, and belts. I want to smell vintage leather and pull turtlenecks up to my chin. I want to practically hear the air crisp up like the leaves. Writing this all down is like a brain massage. It's the start of something new, and I live for the full-body jolts of renewed excitement.

Like fall, our cover star, Dove Cameron, is going through her own change of season. She's launching into a new musical era with her forthcoming album, and everything about the music and her own self-reclamation, is darker, sharper, and more experimental than ever before. Along with her incredibly honest and thoughtful interview (and one of the most beautiful shoots we've done to date, IMO), this issue includes all the good stuff: fall shopping, trend forecasting, and all the beauty and style inspiration you want at a time like this (your fingers are consistently hovering above the "buy" button, right? Mine too.) We're all just out here trying to feel something. My hope is this issue will make you feel something good.
