Priority Standing

Episode 3: We've Got you Covered

Season 1 Episode 3

We can't even remember if there were florals for spring, but what we do know is that the September issues of magazines were pretty groundbreaking. In this episode of Priority Standing, we choose our favorite covers because we'll never not get excited about the most important issue of the year. Publications around the world managed to produce the ever anticipated fall issues with their staffs mostly working from home. Between styling sessions over Zoom and photoshoots happening under strict health guidelines, the hard work and creative forces of the publications' staffs produced an exciting array of covers that seemed, simply, right. And speaking of excited, as part of a generation that saw Lil' Kim's iconic purple pasty fashion moment in real time, we review our favorite fashion looks from the MTV VMAs. Whether it was Lady Gaga in a resplendent Christopher John Rogers gown (and a winning selection of practical yet creative face masks) or Miley Cyrus in a sheer Mugler number with matching gloves, you can always count on the VMAs for mixing it up.
