80 Gorgeous January 2012 Editorials

While September is widely regarded as the beginning of a new fashion year, and thus comes equipped with the biggest edition that each magazine is set to produce that year, January is a close second in importance, and this gallery of January 2012 editorials demonstrates why that is.

While the first month of a new year does not play host to a Spring or Fall fashion week, it does introduce Pre-Fall collections, which are just as stunning and allow audiences a glimpse of what is to come. January also marks the release of advertising campaigns for the upcoming spring season.

So while months like September and February are hectic because of fashion week schedules, this gallery of January 2012 editorials demonstrates that the first month of the year is just as chic.
