MESSAGE FROM TEN
WE ARE ONE!
Happy one-year anniversary, dear 10 USA! We’ve reached this milestone, and what better way to celebrate than with our September issue dedicated to the theme of renaissance—a nod to the revival of craft and excellence in fashion. This is an industry that often chases the latest trends and innovations, so it’s refreshing to see a return to classic styles.
In this issue, we honor the polymaths of our world, from the undeniably talented Law Roach to an impressive roster of super-managers, including Richard Habberley, Mina White, and Kyle Hagler. These individuals are the Ari Golds of fashion, holding the keys to the industry’s biggest talents. And if you think food has no place in fashion, think again! The photographer Carlos Ruiz shoots a range of fashionablefoodies who are beloved for their style as much as their culinary skills.
Cowboy culture is showing no sign of fading, as seen by Pharrell’s FW24 men’s show for Louis Vuitton and Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter album. Alex Hawgoodheads west to chat with today’s hottest rodeo stars. Meanwhile, Jessica Iredale looks back—as well as ahead—at America’s cherished mall brands, like Abercrombie, J.Crew, and Gap, which are having a moment again. Speaking of fashion moments, if you’ve been to a recent show and witnessed the screaming mobs circling the latest K-pop stars and Thai celebrities and have no idea what all the fuss is about, fear not! Diana Tsui breaks down the whole star system—consider it a who’s who of the Asian majors!
Our beauty guru, Celia Ellenberg, brings you the best new fragrance launches for fall. Despite being 2024, nostalgia for the scents of yesterday remains strong. From Dior’s latest iteration of Sauvage to new offerings from Fendi and Coty, we sampled it all. Our extensive jewelry section celebrates craftsmanship, featuring Tiffany & Co.’s Blue Book collection, Chanel’s playful Sport High Jewelry, and Cartier’s iconic pieces—Love, Clash, and Trinity.
Our fashion highlights include JW Anderson’s Loewe collection for fall/winter 2024, captured beautifully byVanina Sorrenti with the model Agel Akol. Vince Aung brings a sexy and moody vibe to Sabato De Sarno’sGucci collection, while the photographer Rudi Geyserand the 10 UK team shoot Chanel’s cruise collection at the newly opened Scorpios hotel in Bodrum, Turkey, showcasing a vibrant palette of colors and textures. Nike’s Serena Williams Design Crew Collection, inspired by LA and the tagline “What Limit,” is brought to life by Rob Kulisek, spotlighting the city’s boundless energy.
If fashion isn’t enough to rid you of your end-of-summer blues, Maura Egan’s dreamy travel features will inspire your next adventure. Christopher Wallace takes us on an epic journey from Cape Town to Cairo, and we visit three extraordinary hotels created by visionaries that should be at the top of every traveler’s dream list.
In 10 world news, we’re thrilled to announce that 10Japan is joining the family this month. Saori Masuda, the new editor-in-chief and my longtime friend, will bring her unique vision to our international brand. What a joy to work with such amazing women!
Lastly, this issue of 10 USA is dedicated to my incredibly talented friend Dan King. Although we couldn’t fit all his remarkable work into 12 pages, I hope you can sense his greatness. Dan’s youthful perspective and boundless energy, packed into his 39 years, meant he achieved more than most of us could in a lifetime. “I hope you like it, mate. We’ll get that drink another time.”
