"One of the things I love about the city is the endless stream of ephemeral and serendipitous moments,"
"I'm always grateful when I slow down long enough to notice them."
"For more covers about fall, see below: Find Brian Stauffer's covers, cartoons, and more at the Condé Nast Store."
Brian Stauffer created the October 13, 2025 cover by finding beauty in what many consider a noisy urban nuisance. The image celebrates ephemeral city moments and serendipity, focusing on transient visual details that emerge when pace slows. The composition frames urban clutter and commotion as sources of color, pattern, and unexpected harmony, evoking the textures and tones of autumn. The work invites viewers to pause and appreciate fleeting encounters in the city. Additional fall-themed covers accompany the piece, and a selection of Stauffer's covers, cartoons, and related work is available at the Condé Nast Store.
