Fall fashion magazine time is special.

Sooo special that we draw the curtains and pour ourselves a tall glass of scotch so we can mentally prepare for all of the money we'll be spending on the latest and upcoming trends.

Color us surprised, then, when we broke the plastic on New York magazine's fashion issue only to find that the hottest trend for fall is…Kim Kardashian's face.

The E! star pulses off of the cover in a halo of mood lighting as the tag to her left reads, "Does Kim Kardashian belong on the cover of a fashion magazine?"

Well, apparently she does, and we can imagine a few reasons why. Some being that she co-owns Dash boutique with sisters Kourtney Kardashian and Khloé Kardashian Odom, has clothing lines through Sears and QVC, a nail polish line called Kardashian Kolors, cofounded ShoeDazzle, and has graced the covers of such fashion mags as l'Uomo Vogue and Harper's Bazaar.

Those are just a few reasons why she'd be on the cover, if we had to guess!

In the magazine itself, Kim wears a beaded Valentino long-sleeved gown and dishes about her relationship with beau Kanye West. "When this whole life is done, and it's just the two of us sitting somewhere when we're 80, you want to have things to talk about that you have in common," Kim says.

She also discusses her future fashion plans, "I don't really have goals as far as, I want to be on a cover or something like that. I think my goals are more just expanding my line, and having my line be really successful. That's the ultimate goal, I think, for me."
