Looks like the 5% cut at Conde Nast has finally hit magazines other than those most closely associated with Vogue:

Portfolio’s blog (which, you probably know, is owned by Conde Nast) reports that Lucky let three mid-level editors go today, though Conde Nast is still mum on any more details.

It’s no wonder the title might be facing some trouble - it bills itself as the magazine “about shopping,” an activity that’s seen better days given the current state of everybody’s checking accounts.

No word yet on exactly which editors were let go, or whether there will be more cuts at more Conde titles. But stay tuned.

The cut backs we reported first at Men’s Vogue this morning just got some new details via a statement Conde Nast released to Media Week:

Not only is the magazine definitely cutting down their issue count to just two per year - a Spring and Fall addition - but the magazine will also be “absorbed” into Vogue.

Translation? It’ll probably become a small version that’s bagged with the regular Vogue, kind of like Fashion Rocks.

Meaning? There must be a lot of lay-offs at 4 Times Square today, especially since it’s just now been announced that Portfolio, Conde’s business magazine, will be cutting its own issue count to just ten per year, which will inevitably lead to some people being let go.

This is all coming to a head after Conde’s announcement of a company-wide budget cut of 5%.

You’d think they could dig into that by cutting back on car services and multi-day department Starbucks runs.

Ever since Lauren Weisberger wrote The Devil Wears Prada, there’s been an influx of fashion-related books/movies/tv shows liquifying our taste buds.

So forgive us for having totally missed that a book called Fashionistas came out three years ago, about a “young designer working at a design firm who plots to take down her ruthless boss by inventing a fictitious must-have designer.”

So why are we thinking about this today? Because Paramount Pictures is turning the novelette into a movie, and it looks like they’re keeping the original name, Fashionistas.

This is right on the heels of the realization that there will now be three tv shows all about fashion this upcoming Fall season (Stylista, The Stylist - in which Erin Wasson may be starring - The Rachel Zoe Project, and way more if you continue to count the likes of Project Runway, ANTM and The Hills).

No word on who’s set to star (our bet goes to Rachel Bilson), but they at least have the director signed up - Donald Petrie. His previous works include Mystic Pizza, Miss Congeniality, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and Just My Luck.

Those excited for Peter Som’s strides with Bill Blass have some worrying to do:

The designer might not get to hem those legendary seams much longer.

As Portfolio bluntly points out in a recent article, NexCen, the brand behind Bill Blass, is sinking. In need of funds and fast cash, the company’s financial board may sell off Bill Blass to the highest bidder, whomever that may be.

And if that happens, well, everything could get very shaky - the new owners could decide to license the brand, make it a mass market Macy’s kind of deal, etc.

The good news?

Bill Blass by Peter Som is still on the schedule for September Fashion Week - at least for now.
