Muse Magazine is dedicating its Fall 2009 issue to supermodel Natasha Poly. The single-model issue, entitled "Natasha Obsessed," will include features by Solve Sundsbo, Miuccia Prada, Riccardo Tisci, Craign McDean, Terry Richardson, and Jeff Koons. Natasha Poly is one of fashion’s most sought-after faces, recently fronting campaigns for Jil Sander and Gucci. The single-model-issue is not new to fashion, as Muse’s Natasha Poly-centered issue comes on the heels of last year’s Vogue Paris single-model-issue with the gap-toothed Lara Stone.
Muse Magazine’s Natasha Poly issue will be available on newsstands just in time for NYC Fashion Week, starting on September 10th.
