The redesigned, reimagined W has made its debut with the September issue, which features a three-gatefold cover (one third of which is shown above). “W, a magazine best known for ethereal photo spreads with dazed-looking models sporting Versace, Chanel, Prada and Ferragamo, is assuming a new look and editorial tone,” writes Jeremy W. Peters in the New York Times‘ Media Decoder blog. “It is becoming a place that its new editor, Stefano Tonchi, hopes readers will go to not only for high-end fashion but for profiles on cultural figures, travel essays and appraisals of art. The September W contains all of the above, and a healthy dose of pictorial spreads.” (Read the full article here.
