See (Six Time!) Grammy Winner Adele’s Full Vogue Spread

By Monday, Feb 13, 2012 / 9:25 AM

How convenient that after Adele won six Grammy’s last night her March Vogue cover story is up online. Excellent timing.

While we were sort of undecided about her cover (too cropped? too contoured?), the inside editorial, shot by Mert and Marcus, puts our doubts to rest. Vogue did an amazing job of showcasing Adele’s gorgeous face and body (and that cleavage–wow). Yes, her waist is cinched to within an inch of her life, but her proportions seem to be celebrated here.

You can check out the meaty Jonathan Van Meter profile here. Adele is refreshingly forthcoming about a lot of things (and if you watched her endearing Album of the Year acceptance speech at last night’s Grammys when she talked about her “snot,” you have an idea what we mean) about her family, her throat surgery, why she hates the red carpet, and her famously effed-up past relationships which inspire her music.

A few highlights:

Domino is Back

By Wednesday, Feb 8, 2012 / 3:30 PM

Domino, which folded in 2009, once topped a list of most missed magazines (Sassy would’ve topped our list but we get it, people like their home decor). Occasionally magazines do get resurrected, so those of you who hoped that would be the case for this recession victim will be pleased to hear you could be reading Domino again as soon as April.

Gucci Decimates the Competition in Fall’s Cover War with Over 100 Covers

Last season, Prada‘s spring bananas and bright colors beat out all other big labels to be featured on the most magazine covers with 77, as we counted it. Score one for their PR department. Gucci and Dolce & Gabbana trailed in second and third, but now with a new season and thousands of new covers, Prada has officially been dethroned.

By Monday, Feb 6, 2012 / 11:40 AM

This should make your Monday a little better. To celebrate the relaunch of Vogue.fr, Vogue Paris’ website (it looks a lot cleaner and more like a Tumblr site now), EIC Emmanuelle Alt, French TV personality Mademoiselle Agnès, and models Anja Rubik, Karmen Pedaru, Jasmine Tookes and Kendra Spears got together to perform Wham! “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go,” a song Alt has previously revealed to be one of her favorites.

Watch: Anna Wintour Defends Her ‘Bitchiness’ on 60 Minutes

By Monday, Feb 6, 2012 / 9:54 AM

Yes, most people watched the Super Bowl last night. And so did we, if only to see the David Beckham for H&M commercial on a bigger screen (mesmerizing) and Madonna’s performace (lots of Givenchy). But after half time, we switched over to CBS to watch Morley Safer interview Anna Wintour on 60 Minutes. After all, she’s fashion’s MVP/QB, right?

Wintour was one of “Three Remarkable Women” featured in last night’s edition (Dolly Parton and Meryl Streep were the other two), and she handled herself admirably against Safer’s sometimes obnoxious line of questioning. Read more »

Victoria Beckham sure is making the indie fashion magazine cover rounds lately. Just a week after her March Numéro Tokyo cover was revealed, here she is wearing her own line on the cover of iD‘s “Whatever The Weather Issue.” And she looks ah-mazing. Read more »

Linda Evangelista Goes Punk in Love Issue 7

By Thursday, Feb 2, 2012 / 5:35 PM

Photo: LOVE via Fashion Copious

We’ve already seen a sneak preview of Rachel Zoe as a vampire and Kate Moss and Lara Stone as flowery cats, but now we know who covers Love issue 7: one of the original supers, Linda Evangelista. Shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, and styled by Katie Grand, the pics were inspired by punk artist Jamie Reid. The cover proclaims “After Taste: Celebrating the end of elegance with Linda Evangelista,” but we’d argue that she looks pretty elegant anyway, smeared lipstick and all. Read more »

Exclusive: Glamour Names Louise Roe Fashion Editor-at-Large

Glamour’s got a flashy new hire to go along with their new look (the mag just revealed a redesign for the important March spring fashion issue). Louise Roe has been named Fashion Editor at Large, just in time for fashion week. You might remember her as the cheery Brit who “stole” Olivia Palermo’s “job” at Elle on The City, or more recently, as the host of the awesomely feel-good yet under-the-radar makeover show Plain Jane on the CW.

“Anne Christensen and I are so excited to have Louise on board just as we’re rolling out a new kind of Glamour,” Cindi Leive said of the hire. “Louise is both aspirational It-girl and accessible chic, which exactly sums up what we’re into at Glamour.”

Roe, 29, is obviously psyched.

What Backlash? Lana del Rey Scores the Cover of Vogue UK While Her Album Is Universally Panned

By Thursday, Feb 2, 2012 / 9:59 AM

While just about every non-fashion blog post about Lana del Rey in the past month suggests a backlash; the singer, whose debut album came out Tuesday, continues to ascend the fashion ranks. Case in point: here she is on the cover of British Vogue wearing Louis Vuitton. And not just any issue. She covers March, spring’s equivalent to the September issue. And perhaps fashion’s equivalent to her SNL performance, which many critics say she did too soon. Luckily, she doesn’t have to sing on a magazine cover. Read more »

A Former Intern is Suing Harper’s Bazaar and Wants to Create a Class Action Suit Against Hearst

In news that is really only surprising because it’s never happened before, a major fashion magazine is getting sued by one of its former interns.

According to the New York Times, Xuedan Wang interned at Harper’s Bazaar from August 2010 through December 2011 for 40-55 hours per week and today filed a lawsuit against Hearst (the fashion glossy’s publisher) accusing them of violating state and federal wage and hour laws by not paying her when she was doing the work of a paid employee.
