At a quick glance of the September 2012 cover of Nylon Magazine, you see the typical fashion cover with a pretty actress (in this case Glee star Lea Michele). But if you take a deeper look and analyze this cover, every little detail from the top she is wearing to her nail color was for a specific reason. To lure someone in and purchase the magazine.

When first looking at the cover you see a pretty girl sitting on the floor. We must then look closer at the image. Why did they choose her to be on the cover? Wonder why did they choose to have her hair down with cat ears on? Why not put her hair up and away to showcase her face? Why does she have no shoes on? Does she even have pants on?
Let’s take this one detail at a time. We ask ‘Why did they choose this girl to be on the cover?’ and we can assume that she has a new show coming out and Nylon wanted a current person that people know. So since we know why they choose this actress to be on the cover, why does she look the way she does? Answer: Nylon Magazine wanted to make the innocent television star look mature and sexy yet still innocent, so they let her hair down and teased and curled it giving her a sexy look then they put cat ears to make her look playful and innocent. Next we look at her clothing. The magazine most likely dressed her in the oversized sweater and thigh high sock to once again to show her as innocent with the big warm sweater that is fashionable, that goes all the way to mid thigh and yet mature with the socks that go just below the sweater showing a little skin. They also place Lea sitting on the floor with her arm stretched out in an alluring position. We finally see with her arm stretched out, we notice her nails. It is assumed that Nylon choose the dark nail polish because Nylon is an edgier fashion magazine so it is obvious they choose a dark edgy nail polish.
