New York Magazine

The latest issue of New York is a special dual political cover with features by Olivia Nuzzi and Rebecca Traister, each examining the historic upending of the presidential race over the summer and how we got to the current moment. Traister writes a sweeping deep dive into the grassroots movements, primarily led by women and people of color, that propelled Kamala Harris’s ascension to the top of the ticket, examining how Democratic politics has been entirely reshaped since the 2016 election by forces far removed from Washington and largely invisible to the pundit class. And Nuzzi sits down with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago for a revealing and intimate conversation with a man on the brink of self-reflection as he reels from his assassination attempt and the changing shape of the race and grapples with the existence of God.

The second cover for The Cut's Fall Fashion Issue is a self-portrait shot by Usher himself, with additional photography by Stevie Dance and styling by Jessica Willis. Usher is profiled by Jazmine Hughes. In addition to the cover and photo portfolio, the issue includes a special tear-out poster of the star. From her letter to readers, The Cut’s editor-in-chief Lindsay Peoples states that Usher “..at 45 [seems to have] reached what most would consider the climax of their career: headlining the Super Bowl halftime show as the first independent artist ever to do it. But as you’ll see, if you think he’s done, think again.” Read Usher’s profile here: https://lnkd.in/dkSFMCnx

The Cut released its first-ever solo print issue, “Fall Fashion,” with cover stars Chloë Sevigny and Usher. The issue will bring readers more of what they love — features, conversation-starting essays, and outstanding fashion and beauty coverage — in time for New York Fashion Week. For the issue, Lindsay Peoples addressed readers with a letter celebrating the issue as a new chapter for the brand as she reaches her fourth year as editor-in-chief of the Cut: “In these past 40-plus months, the team has evolved, and so too has what it means to create a modern magazine that is responsive to what women and femmes care about most and, of course, want to read. The Cut’s first solo issue is the beginning of a new chapter and was a labor of love from every editor who pored over these pages. What makes this era of the Cut exciting is more than just words on the page — it’s this team’s consistent effort to meet the moment.” Read more about the issue and find the full editor’s letter here: https://lnkd.in/gQUeTvn8

Don’t be thrown off by interviewers asking “tell me about yourself” when they already have a copy of your résumé in front of them! They’re not saying, “Introduce yourself to me as if we just met on the street and I know nothing at all about you.” They’re saying, “Give me a brief overview of who you are as a professional as a way to get this conversation going.” More from Alison Green here. https://lnkd.in/eE8J3fTw

Within hours of Kamala Harris entering the race for president, thousands of Black women threw their support behind her, with many vowing to go door to door to get her elected and to fundraise on her behalf. A new Cut survey of 1,200 Black women reflected that strong support for the vice-president, with 76 percent agreeing that Harris is the right person to replace President Joe Biden and 77 percent saying they believe Harris is the candidate most likely to beat Trump. But they’re split on the question of whether Americans actually are ready to send a Black woman to the White House. Nearly two-thirds say concerns about the country not being ready to elect a Black woman are true or fair, while 37 percent believe those concerns are exaggerated. Younger Black women ages 18 to 34 are more likely to agree with concerns that Americans are not ready to elect a Black woman. Read more about the survey here: https://lnkd.in/g8VxC_TV

The latest issue of New York Magazine features an exhaustive exploration of the ethics of pet ownership, “Are We All Bad Pet Parents?” For the cover photo series by Charlie Engman, four actors modeled for the two-day shoot. Prosthetics makeup artist Emily Schubert and her team spent several hours applying foam latex molds to each “pet” before tweezing strands of hair onto the masks to transform them. New York photography director Jody Quon says, “Our idea was to anthropomorphize the animals to help readers imagine what their lives as pets might feel like.” https://lnkd.in/eEjEEk6b

My husband and I just found out that I’m pregnant! I’m extremely excited but also have no idea how to announce this at work. What's the etiquette here? Career expert Alison Green responds: wait until your second trimester (unless you can’t), tell your boss before your team, and don’t feel like you need to have your maternity leave plans set in stone when you do.
