Dazed and Confused October 2010

The October issue of Dazed and Confused really caught my eye. The cover is stunning, and there's some really great fashion stories inside. My favorite is the lead, based on "evolution". But not like a pokemon, more like a evolution from basics and simplicity to materialization and complexity. I love the editorial and the theme of the issue because its so modern in that designers nowadays focus on the evolution of their brand or the evolution of their themes and aesthetics from one collection or season to the next, unlike the past, where everything was "lets make it prettier, more beautiful, more glamorous". Evolution and technique really requires designers to go beyond that, and this issue really is a great display of what modern fashion has to offer. The Balenciaga was a PERFECT choice for the cover, especially since they're known for stitching together 20,000 different fabrics and materials into one piece.
