The very fashion forward Marc Jacobs and Lady Gaga grace the cover of September's V Magazine. Jake Shears, Mark Ronson, Lady Bunny, Chloe Sevigny and Debbie Harry are also featured inside the magazine. The cover was shot by famed photographer Mario Testino and artist Dan Colen interpreted the iconic “V” using bubble gum as his medium.
Editor Stephen Gan explains why he chose pop artist of the moment Lady Gaga to grace the cover of their magazine:
"Just as the Statue of Liberty was France's gift to America, Gaga is, to us, New York's greatest gift to pop culture and fashion. She embodies everything V is about, and is also a beacon of the city's creativity and hope. Exactly one year after her first V cover (the first fashion magazine cover she was on), we decided to do The New York issue, and she was the first person who came to mind to represent our great city. In the year that's passed, she has become a bonafide genius and we can safely declare her our muse. Above all, a New York issue should celebrate people who've done great things. We at V are grateful Gaga came along to put the New back in New York!"
