LaMelo Ball lives up to his "1 of 1" mantra. The Charlotte Hornets point guard and NBA All-Star continues accelerating his decorated career on and off the court. Now, he's gracing the cover of our Oct. Style issue.

“I definitely feel like I got something to prove. Silence all the doubters and naysayers.” Ball says.

The Fall Issue celebrates style and beauty across all industries, from musicians to designers.

“​​When I think of style, its fundamentals remind me of the very mission that our magazine upholds: ‘equity of expression.’ For me, style equates to freedom. You’re free to express your personality through the language of your coolest closet finds,” says editor-in-chief of EDITION Bianca Gracie. “Our cover star LaMelo Ball is expanding his empire with a PUMA collaboration and his LaFrancé clothing line, Tinashe discusses her new perspective on beauty, fashion designers Brandon Blackwood and Theophilio’s Edvin Thompson celebrate the vibrant Caribbean diaspora, and actress Yvonne Orji finds the beauty in spirituality.”
