| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Art and Fanning Andrews, Vogue's beauty editor at large. My husband and I talk a lot of eBay strategy together because it is something that we have bonded over since the beginning of our relationship. We've known each other for 20 years, and we've been using eBay for even longer than that, both of us. He's very proud of his five-star review, which I have the same. We're pretty popular. We have a really good reputation on you, |
| 0:22.3 | guys. |
| 0:28.3 | Hi, everyone, this is The Run Through, and I'm Taylor Antrim. You're expected to hear Chloe and |
| 0:33.8 | Choma, but they're taking a break from the show this week. So you have me here to talk about |
| 0:37.8 | all things September issue. Actually, you don't only have me. You have my illustrious colleague, |
| 0:44.4 | Virginia Smith. Hi, Virginia. Hi, Taylor. Thanks for having me. So the Vogue September issue is legendary, |
| 0:51.0 | of course, and it's out now, and it's totally packed. I mean, as always, |
| 0:55.9 | the thing about September is that it's really meant to be a fashion issue. It's an issue where |
| 1:01.1 | the ambition around the fashion shoots is sort of above and beyond, and the shoots are always |
| 1:06.6 | really interesting and have interesting storylines behind them, and we're here to talk a little bit about that. But it's also an ambitious issue when it comes to features, which is something |
| 1:14.3 | that I look after at the magazine. And in this September issue, there are tons of people in it. |
| 1:19.4 | You can read about everyone from Tori Birch to Lauren Sanchez and Huma Abidon, who won wedding season |
| 1:26.3 | this year. Can we say that? |
| 1:28.3 | We can. |
| 1:29.2 | Jack and Laz, the designers who are formerly of Proenza Schooler, and now we're taking over at Loeve. |
| 1:34.9 | And you have a profile of Kentucky Governor Andy Bashir. I actually wrote that one, so I want |
| 1:39.3 | to give it a special shout out. And the cover story is of the totally remarkable Emma Stone, and we have |
| 1:47.1 | also a really fun read, which is a deep dive profile into the phenomenon that is call her daddy's |
| 1:53.7 | Alex Cooper. So a little bit later on the show, I'm going to get the writers for those two |
| 1:58.9 | respective features, Jason Gay, who's been writing for Vogue for a long time, and Alessandra Kedina on the show here to talk about their features. |
| 2:06.5 | So that's what you have to look forward to. |
