The Fashion Spot user Faith Akiyama found this creative work called ‘Together’ by LiveJournal user [Shrubrub](http://shrubrub.livejournal.com/) that consists of combining 2008 Vogue covers from several countries to create surreal and fantastic images that resemble the nondescript stuff dreams are made of.

With the help of Photoshop, issues were fused from Brazil, China, Germany, Italy, Korea, Japan, Paris, Russia, UK, and the USA for this artistic creation.

Each country has its own ‘Together’ issue, as the mixing and combining occurred only within the monthly editions of an individual country.
