Focus - The September Issue: Maria Laura Ribeiro & Dominique Caron

The September issue has long been Vogue’s most iconic edition. A true showcase for fall-winter fashion, it marks the beginning of the year’s most strategic season for designers and luxury houses. More than just a magazine, this issue stands as a manifesto of trends, an artistic and commercial statement. Its significance goes far beyond its glossy pages: it reflects the cultural and societal shifts of its time.

In many ways, the September issue resembles a contemporary art exhibition. It captures the spirit of the moment, explores identity, questions beauty, gender, and power. Collaborating with photographers, stylists, and artists who blur the lines between fashion and art. In this same spirit, Vallée Contemporary Art proudly presents visions of the world, treating every image as a work of art in its own right.

For this September edition, Vallée Contemporary Art highlights two artists whose creative approaches resonate deeply with this ethos: Maria Laura Ribeiro and Dominique Caron. Between Ribeiro’s luminous, iconic portraits and Caron’s textured, transformative materials, a shared creative energy emerges. One evokes the radiant memory of fashion; the other breathes new life into it through texture and gesture. Together, they weave a visual dialogue where image and material respond to one another—blurring the line between the ephemeral and the timeless.
