Pop Magazine's Autumn/Winter 2012 issue features an armless, torso-less Sui He clad in Balenciaga on one of its three covers.

This cover, shot by Viviane Sassen and styled by the magazine's fashion director Vanessa Reid, will be joined by another soft cover and a hardback version that have yet to be released.

The issue follows a "Warrior Woman" theme and promises an interview with Tina Turner and a feature on artists Yayoi Kusama — of the recent dotty Louis Vuitton collaboration — and Sarah Lucas. There's also a feature on the return of the Bernadette Corporation, an artists collective that has produced, at various times, an haute couture line, a magazine called Made in USA, and a documentary about the protests at the 2001 G8 Summit in Genoa, Italy.

The issue will be on newsstands Aug. 22; an exclusive look at the first cover below.

Rag & Bone

Rag & Bone Produced Their Best Yet for Fall 2010

>> From look one, a cool knit kilt on Kasia Struss, it was clear that David Neville and Marcus Wainwright are on to something this season.

>> From look one, a cool knit kilt on Kasia Struss, it was clear that David Neville and Marcus Wainwright are on to something this season. For their first women's-only runway show (men's was shown separately this time around), Neville and Wainwright moved to a new venue — a brick-walled SoHo loft spacious enough for two extra-long runway corridors; in between, a row of oversized spherical lanterns emitting a soft glow. As for the show, it was by many accounts their best one yet.

Cozy knit ponchos, camouflage anoraks, and pleated skirts were pulled together in a stellar styling job by former Marie Amelie Sauve assistant Vanessa Reid (who was also responsible for the stunning layering in Missoni's Fall 2009 collection).  Miniature black belts buckled over pant cuffs and wrists, pouches hung from waist belts or belts around the thigh, and more belting went around the shoulders and across the back, harnessing a select few looks. Accessories were out in full force: bolo ties over button-up shirts, knee-high socks, mittens, and scarves.

Rag & Bone is known for their top-notch casting — label favorites like Jessica Stam, Lily Donaldson, and Coco Rocha were nowhere to be found, but Lily Aldridge walked, explaining the Kings of Leon appearance front row (she dates the lead singer).

“The new Pop launches at an exciting turning point in fashion, where the possibilities and potential for creativity are almost overwhelming,” Zhukova told WWD. “The new era is more fluid than ever before; one where teenage girls in Chicago, fashion editors in Paris, street photographers from Berlin and bloggers everywhere . . . redefine the fashion landscape.”

Alberta Ferretti Goes With Classic, Clean Philosophy for Fall 2009 Campaign

>> Steven Meisel photographed Alberta Ferretti's Fall 2009 mainline campaign with books swirling around the lounging models — apparently models and books are becoming a thing — but Alasdair McLellan, along with stylist Vanessa Reid, masterminded the more streamlined Philosophy ads.

They went with two relative newcomers for the London shoot: Bailey Barger and Auguste Abeliunaite, who is most well-known for her teary turn on the Jil Sander runway.
