Chloë Sevigny commands the October 2025 cover with a lacquered leopard print turtleneck and architectural shoulder, cementing her status as the reigning icon of authentic fashion spread style.
The Chloë Sevigny effect is rarely subtle, and on the October 2025 VOGUE Germany cover, it’s a high-wattage detonation. The backdrop of corrugated rust might suggest decay, but Sevigny herself is pure, glorious defiance. She stares down the lens, cocooned in a glossy, leopard print garment that immediately evokes the high fashion futurism of the late 20th century—think Thierry Mugler’s powerful lines filtered through a Miuccia Prada lens.
The dress—appearing to be in a patent vinyl or latex texture—is defined by its aggressively chic structure. The architectural shoulder is the main event, creating a forceful, inverted triangle silhouette that cuts an intimidatingly stylish figure. It’s an intellectualized take on the classic studio portrait , where the garment does all the talking, yet Sevigny’s demeanor offers the punchline: a bold, unbothered expression that is entirely her own.
The cover’s secondary headline, Der Wert Des Eigenen Stils ( The Value of One’s Own Style ), serves as the editorial’s thesis. It acknowledges Sevigny’s unique position as the perennial cool-girl—a muse who has always prioritized authenticity over fleeting trends. This is a celebrity photoshoot that reads less like a style guide and more like a manifesto on personal taste. The styling, including the voluminous blonde waves, is a clever nod to Old Hollywood glamour, subverted by the gritty backdrop, reinforcing her position at the intersection of cultural history and counter-culture cool.
Meika and India Woollard’s fashion spread for Mob Journal ignites a satirical rebellion—clashing voluminous hair with couture punk silhouettes in a dynamic studio portrait.
This is not a photoshoot —it’s an interrogation of style itself. For their joint editorial in Mob Journal , Meika and India Woollard eschew subtlety, delivering a twin vision of high fashion rebellion that is as smart as it is spectacular. Photographed by Pip Dusadeevijai, the styled shoot is an essay on controlled maximalism and defiant cultural references.
The looks are a study in contrast-as-cohesion. On the left, Meika embodies a raw, defiant rockabilly spirit. Her garment—a fiercely short, black mini-skirt bearing a white ‘No Walking’ or ‘No Entry’ graphic—is perfectly countered by a massive, gravity-defying bouffant of brunette hair and a rugged leather cowboy hat . It’s a purposeful clash of street-level iconography with bombshell glamour.
India on the right channels a more tailored, avant-garde punk . Her sleeveless white top is sharply tailored with a crisp, high-collared silhouette, evoking futuristic workwear. Below the waist, the look explodes: trousers crafted from layers of heavily textured, distressed fabric in dark oil-slick tones and burnt orange, creating a shattered, organic texture.
The dual styling is electric. India’s short, slicked blonde coif is the architectural foil to Meika’s cascading volume. Their matching stacked bangles and defiant sunglasses—held or worn—emphasize the twins’ united front, a powerful visual statement on shared attitude. This is less celebrity photoshoot and more a clever, highly stylized commentary on the absurdity of being told where not to look, and what not to wear.
The cover introduces Isla Johnston through a Baz Luhrmann fashion photoshoot, championing a rustic, armor-like tapestry of burnt orange against gothic stone for a breathtaking editorial.
There are cover debuts, and then there are moments —the kind that signal a seismic shift in the cultural landscape. Isla Johnston’s arrival on the September 2025 VOGUE cover is exactly that. It’s a grand, cinematic gesture disguised as a studio portrait , immediately demanding the question the cover poses: “WHO’S THAT GIRL?”
Johnston emerges from the shadows, leaning against a rough-hewn stone wall in a garment that is pure narrative. The piece—a long-sleeved jacket or dress—is a magnificent study in texture. It appears to be an intensely tactile brocade or richly embroidered tapestry , a mosaic of deep copper, charcoal, and shimmering gold . The structure, with its deep V-neck and slight-shouldered lift, is less clothing and more ceremonial armor, reinforced by the small, raised metallic studs that run across the fabric.
The explicit text calling out her role in Baz Luhrmann’s ‘Joan of Arc’ is the key to this entire high fashion mood. The atmosphere is that of a medieval heroine caught between the sacred and the profane—vulnerable yet fiercely contained. The styling perfectly supports this context: windswept hair, a clean, freckled complexion, and a gaze that suggests both innocence and destiny. This isn’t just a celebrity photoshoot ; it’s a costume test for the modern age, proving that the most compelling celebrity style is always rooted in storytelling.
