Earlier this year it was confirmed that Carine Roitfeld would be styling the cover and a full editorial in V magazine's 'Heroes' themed September issue. Drawing on the magazine's theme, Roitfeld has chosen Elizabeth Taylor as the icon of choice and the late actress' style will inspire a 72-page story shot by Mario Testino.

We couldn't be more excited for the issue to hit newsstands. Since leaving Vogue Paris last year, Roitfeld has stressed that any project she works on now is all about being creative and not being restricted by politics so you know that you can expect Roitfeld's work in its purest form in the coming issue. And besides, the legendary editors previous work for the magazine from as far back as 1999 is still referenced and celebrated today so expect a cracker!
