The FADER Issue #75: Fall Fashion Featuring Frank Ocean and The Rapture


Fall! It’s a time for light coats and a (thankfully) more diverse wardrobe than the slight variations on tees and rolled up pants that we’ve been wearing all summer. It’s also the time for our Fall Fashion issue, which is more jam packed than ever before. On one cover we’ve got Frank Ocean, who has recently become more ubiquitous than he probably ever imagined. From his heartfelt mixtape Nostalgia, Ultrato his two—TWO!—appearances on Jay-Z and Kanye’s Watch The Throne, the man is (deservedly) everywhere. On the flip, we’ve got The Rapture, who are returning to music for the first time since 2006′s Pieces of the People We Love, with In the Grace of Your Love, a gorgeous dance record filled with plenty of transcendent moments to soundtrack summer’s wane. 2006 was a long time ago, though. What have they been doing? Where have they been? What was the hold up? The story of the rise and fall (and rise again) of The Rapture adds an extra 75 levels to their music.
