September at Lucky Means 120+ Pairs of Shoes and Model Diversity
LatestAt 235 pages, the September issue of Lucky magazine is not as weighty as some other publications (Vogue is 902 pages, and we’ll deal with that later), but fashion fiends should be pleased with the upbeat direction new editor-in-chief Eva Chen is taking.
Chen, who is profiled in today’s New York Times Style section, is 33, very active on Instagram, and declares: “I have a bag and shoe addiction.” In her editor’s letter, she writes that she “swooned” when she tried on a $4,400 lambskin dress. And although the issue has some of the usual pronouncements you expect from fashion mags — Jordan almond pale is the new trend in coat colors; pinkie rings are back — the traditional Lucky mix of high-low is still in effect (you’ll see an $850 Marc Jacobs sweater with an $89 Guess skirt). And since this is a “personal style” issue, the focus is less on some unattainable “must-have” items and more on the joy of dressing up, trying new things, getting into a color — no matter the price.
