LOUIS VUITTON CROWN FRAME MOTHERBOARD BAG ($3,080, LOUISVUITTON.COM)

V WILL ROCK YOU The Gregorian calendar may begin in January, but as followers of fashion, our internal clocks reset every September. So this fall issue, we’re toasting to new beginnings. Our cover star, Jorja Smith, is on the precipice of career superstardom. She may be just 21, but to watch her is to detect glimmers of full-blown diva-dom, whether she’s melting America’s hearts on The Tonight Show or showcasing supermodel-caliber magnetism, rocking little more than Bulgari jewels, on our cover, shot by 6ºOYH 6XQGVEº ,Q KHU LQWHUYLHZ WKH %ULWLVK VRXO VHQVDWLRQ RXWOLQHV KHU DGPLUDEOH DPELWLRQV UH HFWLQJ RQ KHU PXVLFDO URRWV and persuasively demonstrating why her voice is here, loud and clear, for the long haul. We’ll certainly be listening.

Supporting new talent, and predicting who will stand the test of time, has always been V’s MO. But these days, more than ever, predicting the future is an exercise in uncertainty. So we’re doubling down on projecting positivity. It may be coming on autumn, but we recruited stylist George Cortina and photographer Simon Eeles to harness the power of summer sun in a fall/winter fashion story—no tan lines allowed. But if you’re looking for more coverage, look no further than our directional accessories story by Richard Burbridge, which re-centers dramatic headwear, and our sweeping fall fashion blitz by Chris Colls, which showcases not only the season’s best outerwear, but also 13 of the most iconic supermodels. $V IRU WKH QHZHVW JHQHUDWLRQ RI VXSHUPRGHOV *UDFH (OL]DEHWK KDV ULVHQ WR D UDQN DOO KHU RZQ ZLWK D YHUVDWLOLW\ WKDW GH HV her youth—which we see on full display in an all-terrain shoot styled by Paul Cavaco. Models with staying power are an increasingly rare breed, so we take a visit to Graceland to pay our respects. It’s also not every day that talent returns to our orbit with a fresh sound and script. But such is the case with acts like Christine and the Queens, who these days is going by Chris, and Say Lou Lou, our V88 cover stars. And while we’ve covered members of our “New Cast” at various points in time, WKH OP Assassination Nation, which hits reset on the entire teen dramedy genre with its prescient commentary on social media, is just the occasion to revisit them. Their badass girl clique, comprised of Hari Nef, Suki Waterhouse, Abra, and Odessa Young, are quite formidable onscreen. But our latest crop of V Girls, lensed by Milos Nadazdin, could stand up to any crew with their stories of grit and survival.

Amy and I met through a mutual friend, Kelly Osbourne, on a Sunday evening, a very normal, chill night in. I was very surprised when Amy came down the stairs. I’d only ever seen her perform. She was a force to be reckoned with. Kelly had to work that night, so Amy and I went back to Amy’s apartment in East London. I stayed with her that week nonstop. I knew this was someone going through a lot; we connected. I felt there weren’t a lot of people at that time who were, A) sober around her, and B) able to speak up and help.

I think we both had this ability to go deep with people quickly, and not be bothered by it. We spoke about heartbreak; quite personal things. We both felt like outsiders, and found solace in each other. We weren’t the coolest kids in school. I’d never drunk or done drugs. Our friendship was separate from her addiction and substance issues. [Addiction] was almost like an uninvited friend. She’d go deal with that “person,” then come back and we’d be together.

The six Grammy nominations came out in 2008. I was like, “Oh God, you’ve gotta experience this sober, really enjoy it.” That was my mission for her. I stayed with her while she was in a facility, watching movies, playing cards, hanging out.

DIAMONDS 2.0 Since its 1895 founding, Austrian crystal dynasty Swarovski has focused on sustainably producing its sparkly baubles. “Daniel Swarovski was an incredible visionary and innovator—he always wanted to do business in a way that was positive for both people and planet,” says Nadja Swarovski, the force behind the family empire. She cites the use of “hydro-electric power to drive innovative cutting machines” at the turn of the 20th century, which was “truly revolutionary at the time, and it directly connected our business to the natural world around us.” In Nadja’s own upbringing, she was acutely attuned to Swarovski’s focus on upholding and evolving the use of green production practices. “Growing up in Wattens, surrounded by the family business, I was always aware of the importance of our connection to our environment,” Nadja explains. “That helped to shape my own interest as a conscious consumer, and my interest in helping our customers connect with our

STREET MYSTIQUE Milan-based GCDS, an edgy, logo-laden brand launched in 2016, happened practically by accident. “I’ve always been a creative and an entrepreneur,” says GCDS founder Giuliano Calza, who previously operated restaurants in China with his brother, Giordano, while studying in Shanghai. He then pivoted to “something where I felt like I belonged: I saw the world was changing, fashion was becoming more inclusive, and streetwear was the fashion scene’s protagonist,” he says. Calza gets asked constantly about GCDS’s meaning, but he enjoys the moniker’s mystique factor. To some, it’s an acronym for God Can’t Destroy Streetwear, but come 2019, the acronym could change. “The ‘S’ might stand for ‘sex,’” Calza explains. He underscores the brand’s distinctive, untethered vibe: “I’m basically no one’s protégé, so I can do whatever I like.” ALEXANDRA ILYASHOV

The brands have come together to recreate Mikli’s A05029 sunglasses in four new color schemes inspired by Scott’s Fall 2018 ready-to-wear collection, including black-trimmed ivory frames with smokegray lenses, bluish-purple frames with blue-tinted lenses, orange frames with blue ombré accents, and a play on the classic tortoise pattern with mirrored gold lenses. The collaboration marks a full-circle moment for both companies, as the A05029 originally made its debut during a Jeremy Scott show in 2016. TG

Hari Nef 2K ER\ ,W V D KLJK VFKRRO OP it’s a satire, it’s a comedy, it’s a drama. It’s D VXUYLYDO OP Odessa Young I’ve started to think of it less as a comedy and a satire and more as an earnest drama. It really accurately shows the collective trauma of a nation that is raised on social media.

Suki Waterhouse It shows what being a young woman is like in a very realistic way. It’s an expression of all of our rage and all of our sorrow, and just things that have happened to us.

SL Older generations latch onto the fantasy element, while younger generations KDYH IHOW WKDW WKH OP LV YHU\ UHDO :KDW accounts for that divide?

Abra Older people don’t understand the Internet as well as we do. We grew up completely [immersed] in it, and realize how real it is and how it can completely turn your life upside down.

HN I feel like generations that didn’t grow up on social media experience [it] as something that can enrich your life. If [you haven’t] lived a whole life before social media, [it] gets tangled up in this idea of, “Who am I?” There’s a lot of anxiety and terror that comes with that.

SW Exactly. I’m very private, but there are realities that are incredibly real for me. I OLWHUDOO\ GLVFRYHUHG RQ WKH VHW RI WKH OP that someone had nude photos of me from when I was 18 years old, right before I shot a scene about nude pictures being hacked.

HN >7KH OP@ KLJKOLJKWV WKH GLYLGH between who you are, and the person you present to the world. This isn’t a huge secret, so I’ll tell you: I have two Instagrams.

OY I think that there are many people who don’t understand that concept, who treat it as an alternate reality and there’s nothing else but “the ‘gram.”

HN Well that’s why we have to draw boundaries in 2018. Hashtag: “Boundaries 2018.”

OY It’s like that Kylie Jenner video when she’s like, “2016 was the year of realizing things.”

HN I was just thinking about the .DUGDVKLDQV 7KHLU VKRZ LV D QLVKHG product yet presents itself as this inherently real thing that is happening. It’s so mind-boggling to try to parse out what is entertainment and what is reality.

OY It’s not reality. It’s a projection of reality.

HN I mean, I know Kendall, and she’s a sweet girl. And I’m not saying there are lies going on. I’m talking more about people’s perceptions.

SL At the end of the day, I think that this exists with everyone on social media.

Seeing the behind-the-scenes shit-talk is part of the entertainment value. Our collective lust for entertainment has superseded our sense of self-preservation as a society.

A I feel like people are learning about different ways of life and becoming more tolerant, but at the same time, everyone’s becoming really sensitive. The Internet can feel out of control. It’s a game of teleSKRQH ZKHUH \RXU VKLW FDQ EH LSSHG DW any moment.

HN Exactly. People love canceling people.

There’s a lovely release in seeing that life contains a lot of shit.

HN I think that previous generations would not have been able to gather the receipts the way our generation can, and say, “Actually, Mr. President, the statistics you just gave were false.”

Even seeing which demographics voted blue in the election was comforting to me; if our generation’s had been the only votes that counted, Donald Trump wouldn’t be president. It was comforting knowing that we were all, for the most part, on the same page.

TAYLOUR PAIGE THE L.A. NATIVE HAS A SIZZLING LEAD ROLE IN THIS FALL’S BUZZY WHITE BOY RICK. “I want to help shift consciousness,” says Los Angeles–born Taylour Paige. The 27-year-old actress, noting the sea change going on in culture right now, says, “There’s still a lot of bullshit in the world, but people are also being like, ‘We’re over this patriarchal society telling us how we’re going to do things.’”

VIRGINIA GARDNER THE NEWCOMER WHO MADE WAVES AS ONE OF THE FIRST GAY MARVEL CHARACTERS INHERITS THE HALLOWEEN FRANCHISE.

The 23-year-old grew up in Sacramento, California. “If you watched Lady Bird it was basically like that. They really hit the nail on the head,” says Gardner, who like Lady Bird director Greta *HUZLJ ZHQW WR 6W )UDQFLV WKH VFKRRO WKDW SDUWLDOO\ LQVSLUHG WKH OP

It was in then–six-year-old Fanning, however, that Gardner found her motivation: “I thought if she can do this then so can I.” This October, Gardner will star in the the Halloween reboot alongside Jamie Lee Curtis. Before she was cast, she’d never even seen the 1978 original, so she decided to watch it, but on her laptop.

“I thought it’d be less terrifying on the small screen,” she confesses.

While much of what goes into a scary movie, like the music and editing, happens in post-production, Gardner says that there were still some spine-chilling moments on set: “When you’re in a closet and Michael Myers opens the door, it’s pretty freaky.”

istening to Jorja Smith’s stunner of a debut album, 2018’s Lost & Found, it’s easy to forget that it’s a work crafted by someone just barely out of their teens.

When pressed about her seemingly limitless supSO\ RI VHOI FRQ GHQFH DQG FKDPHOHRQLF VHQVH RI VW\OH Smith credits a childhood spent mostly in the company of adults, which granted her an ability to adapt to almost any social situation. “I’m a good talker,” she explains, “I was the 11-year-old kid hanging out and walking the dog with the 50-year-olds who lived up the road. I know how to get on with people.” Though she’s still a relative newcomer in the pop landscape, Smith has been making music— in some way, shape, or form—for most of her life. As a child growing up in the West Midlands of England, she sang classical music and absorbed her parents’ collection of reggae and soul records before eventually falling under the sway of Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen. “I used to sing covers. That’s how I started playing piano,” she VD\V %XW , MXVW ZDQWHG WR VLQJ DERXW P\ RZQ OLIH , XVHG to write in my room and come down with my laptop and headphones to make my dad listen to what I just wrote.

Written when Smith was only 17, the song quickly racked up over 100,000 listens and quickly set the wheels in motion on her burgeoning career. Less than a year later, she was saying goodbye to her sleepy hometown of Walsall and heading to London. Not one to waste time, she quickly let loose with a slew of singles and an EP, 2016’s Project 11 DV ZHOO DV KLJK SUR OH FROlabs with English rapper Stormzy and two features on Drake’s More Life. She was also the only female singer to land a track on the Black Panther soundtrack, which was personally curated by Kendrick Lamar. While many emerging artists might have buckled under the sudden wave of attention, Smith stepped into the spotlight with an almost preternatural amount of grace. “Suddenly being out in front of this huge audience was amazLQJ 6PLWK H[SODLQV %XW LW V D ELW OLNH EHLQJ WKH QHZ kid at school who gets invited to sit at the cool kids’ table.

Smith’s full-length debut was the perfect calling card to secure her a place at the pop cultural table. Lost & Found manages the rare trick of sidestepping easy categorization. Flirting with the conventions of jazz, folk, and gospel, the album is the sound of self-discovery unfolding in real time. On “Teenage Fantasy”—written when Smith was 16—the emotions are appropriately cinematic: “We all want a teenage fantasy / Want it when we can’t have it / When we got it we don’t seem to want it.” The record is full of emotional revelations, all writ large by Smith’s SRZHUKRXVH YRLFH , P FRQVWDQWO\ QGLQJ P\VHOI VKH sings on “February 3rd,” as if self-actualization is a journey she hopes might never end. Despite comparisons to everyone from Lauryn Hill to Portishead, Smith prefers to think of her music as something that remains distinctly her own. “I don’t write for anyone but me,” she says. “I just wanted to make a classic, or what I thought was classic.

I like things that feel real.”

Instead, she is more resolute than ever about working according to her own intuition, both creatively and professionally. “I just move forward,” she says. “I don’t question things because I think when you start questioning things too much, maybe you get a bit paranoid. You second guess. I just do things. So far, it’s worked out okay. I’m the only person that can disappoint myself. Nobody else can. I am the only person that can fuck things up for real. So I just have to make sure I’m okay.”

While Smith will spend much of the foreseeable future touring across multiple continents in support of Lost & Found, including a stint in Japan (“I’m getting pink hair extensions before I go there,” she laughs), she is most excited about the possibility of going home, adopting a new puppy over the holidays, and creating the space to write new songs. Though she is admittedly headstrong about the way she likes to work, she considers herself extremely lucky to have people around her who can give sound advice. “Kendrick Lamar asked me a really interesting question about where I see myself a few years from now. I learned a lot from him. He’s a Gemini, like me.” She SDXVHV VPLOLQJ EHIRUH UDWWOLQJ R D IHZ RWKHU QRWDEOH Geminis. “So was Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, %LJJLH 7XSDF , P MXVW VD\LQJ 6R ZKHUH H[DFWO\ GRHV VKH VHH KHUVHOI LQ YH \HDUV" 2U \HDUV" :KDW GRHV WKH IXWXUH ORRN OLNH LI \RX DUH D VWDU RQ WKH ULVH" , GRQ W ULJKWO\ NQRZ VKH VD\V 5LJKW now I just want to sing to more people, and have more people listen to me.
