As Paris Fashion Week—and its look ahead to next year—comes to a close, it's time to turn our attention back to the season at hand, with a celebration of Fall's sharpest looks both photographed and styled by our fashion director Melissa Levy. The American runway and editorial favorite Sherry Shi stars in our latest digital cover story, which also offers a first look at our forthcoming issue due out later this year. With a charmingly lo-fi æsthetic, Levy captures Shi in a wide range of designers from Louis Vuitton, Loewe, and Ferragamo to Valentino, Hermès, and Chloé, accessorized by sparkling jewelry from Van Cleef & Arpels. Pared down and stripped back in black, white, and a palette of neutrals, Shi is ready for autumn and the colder months to come.
