Like Best of Detroit and Restaurant of the Year, Hour Detroit’s Fall Fashion is one of the signature Hour Detroit features. It’s what we are known for. And even though the runway news gets to our readers much earlier than our September issue, there’s nothing like seeing the photos in a big, glossy format. I was reminded of this earlier in the year when WDIV’s Priya Mann introduced me at a panel discussion as “the editor of Hour; it’s Detroit’s version of Vogue.” I took that as a huge compliment to our brand.
To live up to this reputation and standard, each year we try to top ourselves with the feature’s theme and location. This year’s is going to be an especially hard act to follow. So instead of thinking ahead, I decided to look back at every Fall Fashion cover we have done in our 28 years, beginning with the second issue in September 1996.
Below are some of our favorites. I decided to show the covers rather than the layouts because they are like time capsules, containing a glimpse of what was happening in metro Detroit at the time. Do you have a favorite? Let me know at kwalsh@hour-media.com. And for this year’s Fall Fashion feature click here.
