KJ Apa Covers The 50th Issue of VMAN | VMAN

It's a black-tie affair for the 50th issue of VMAN-and #kjapa is our third cover star!
(Cover 3 of 5) Although KJ is ready to say goodbye to his character Archie after the seventh season of the CW’s hit series ‘Riverdale’ premieres this spring-Apa himself, however, isn’t going anywhere. Photographed by #NathanielGoldberg and styled by #GroCurtis in ‪@Lacoste‬, life for the 25-year-old performer is better than ever-with a child, sobriety, and a conviction to prove himself as an artist. Head to VMAN.com to discover the full cover story where VMAN family member and guest editor James Franco connected with KJ about being a workaholic, the spirituality of sobriety, and the importance of connectivity in life.

ABOUT V MAGAZINE
V Magazine was launched in September 1999 as the younger sibling publication to the limited-edition quarterly Visionaire. If Visionaire is a couture book, V is ready-to-wear. V is large-format and visually driven, international in scope, and collaborative in spirit. V is a magazine about fashion with a capital F and all the things that go with it: art, music, film, architecture…you name it. Before V was put into print, we thought of it this way: Imagine a wall of forty-four televisions, each tuned to a different station. Today you would need a wall of 250 televisions, but it's still a good way to think of the insane and unpredictable mix of people, places, and things that V celebrates in its pages. V is a place where uptown meets downtown, celebrities mingle with total unknowns, and high art converses with underground culture. Chic, wacky, fun, fabulous…in a letter: V!
