System Beauty returns with its much anticipated third issue, continuing its exploration of how ideas of beauty have fractured into multiple, unique, forms.
This time around, the main magazine comes alongside a 66-page supplement featuring Parisian portraits captured by the photographer Juergen Teller. At the end, an interview with Donatella Versace and Piergiorgio Del Moro on 'fame, the future of casting and what they really think of fashion today.'
In the main magazine, the modelling x fame x fashion theme continues, as the editor's letter asks 'What does it mean to be a model now?' Also in the issue, Victoria Beckham on celebrity beauty brands, Harry Lambert on his recent pivot to product design, a exploration of the cultural impact of Calvin Klein's 1994 CK1 campaign, and plenty more. My top pick? Camille Bidault-Waddington's homage to style through a queer lens.
A note: The cover options below are the covers to the main magazine. The Juergen Teller supplements are packaged randomly.
