VOGUE JAPAN December Issue Highlights Hollywood's Influence

The highly anticipated December issue of VOGUE JAPAN, set to hit the stands on October 31, encapsulates the glamour and excitement of Hollywood, as this year's VOGUE WORLD event takes center stage. This global fashion gala honors the unique culture of each host city through the lens of fashion, and 2025's event will be no exception, bringing the spotlight to the iconic city of Los Angeles on October 26.

This special edition is themed “Roll Play,” inviting readers into the enchanting world of cinema. Featuring the multitalented Lina Sawerama on the cover—an actress, singer, and entrepreneur—this issue showcases her versatility with a series of stunning looks reminiscent of cinematic transitions. Each outfit tells a story, embodying the vibrant spirit of fashion intertwined with the allure of film.

Not just focused on glamorous fashion, this issue also delves into the intriguing depths of filmmaking, with features celebrating the intersection of cinema and style. One such feature is “To Los Angeles, With Love,” where Anthony Vaccarello, the creative director of Saint Laurent, shares his insights on filmmaking and the inspiration he draws from the industry to enhance his fashion work.

Moreover, the magazine pays tribute to iconic costumes from eight classic Hollywood films, including 'Marie Antoinette,' 'Edward Scissorhands,' and 'The Great Gatsby.' Contemporary fashion houses have reimagined these designs, blending their original essence with modern flair to create fantastical looks that resonate with today's audiences.

In addition to these highlights, readers can anticipate a behind-the-scenes glimpse with “Behind the Camera,” focusing on the tireless crews and the creative processes that bring films to life. The regular travel feature, “IN VOGUE: Travel to Los Angeles—A Journey of Excitement and Evolution,” is also expected to captivate readers with stories to inspire their next adventures.
