Magazine Publishers of America cover awards, second place 2006: best fashion cover:

Capturing whats fashionable, and giving form and shape to it, is one of the essential functions of most magazines. The New Yorker may not be the magazine that will tell its readers which shoes to wear, but aims to be the one that will context to an interest in fashion. This cover, The Skinny on Fashion by Seth, does not endorse or promote any fashion house. But it does say that what is shown on the runway was never meant to be anything than a fleeting dream, a flight of fancy, and a wild burst of imagination.
