Rihanna and Taylor Swift may have been at the top of their fame game in 2012–both released new albums, courted controversy in their love lives, and were damn near inescapable–but apparently people didn’t really care to see them on the cover of fashion glossies.
Both starlets were newsstand duds, according to the Alliance for Audited Media’s annual report of the best and worst selling glossy covers. So which cover stars did boost sales?
Let the poaching begin.
Kristina O’Neill has been in her new role as editor-in-chief of WSJ for only one week (she officially started on October 29), but she’s already poached at least one senior editor from Harper’s Bazaar, where she previously worked for 10 years.
Ever since Deborah Needleman left WSJ for T we’ve been wondering who would replace her at her former post. And now we have our answer: Kristina O’Neill, formerly of Harper’s Bazaar, has been named editor-in-chief of WSJ.
From Tom Ford’s five baths a day, to Karl Lagerfeld’s diet coke addiction, designers’ idiosyncrasies have become as famous as, well, their designs. And they’re one of our favorite forms of entertainment.
The latest to join the eccentric-creative-genius club is Peter Dundas, who revealed his daily schedule to Harper’s Bazaar for their My List feature. Among some of the revelations are that he has a serious sweet tooth, collects taxidermy and flies to work. Everyday. Talk about a jet set commute!

Well hold on to your Tavi hat, because the pint-size fashion blogger’s landed her most mainstream gig yet. She’s written a column in this month’s Kate Hudson-covered issue of Harper’s Bazaar. WWD pulls this quote from her musings on the SS10 collections, “Raf Simons at Jil Sander presented dresses and skirts that appeared vulnerable from Read more →
Last year, V named Amanda Laine their model search winner. Since then, the Canadian’s walked everything from Alex Wang to McQueen, Miu Miu to Vuitton. She’s been in V (obviously), Interview, POP, Numero, W, Bazaar and more. Needless to say, Stephen Gan’s eye for runway potential has a one up on Tyra’s. So now the Read more →
Derek Lam shot his first ad campaign in San Francisco last week. He and most of his contemporaries have managed to make do without advertising in the past, but this month we’ve seen Rodarte‘s proper campaign debut in V and Zac Posen‘s first ever ad, for Spring 09, shot by Ellen Von Unwerth for Spanish Read more →
Ed Westwick gets very close to Helena Christensen in next month‘s Bazaar. This makes us feel: 1) Jealous, so jealous we could cry. 2) Hot, it’s pretty sexy. 3) Excited to be 40, Helena only pops up in front of cameras when she gets to wear lingerie these days. 4) Creepy, she’s old enough to Read more →
So it’s true – Marc is in fact resurrecting Stephen Sprouse for Louis Vuitton next month. The launch will coincide with Deitch Projects’ 80s retrospective, (they’re the ones who initially suggested a re-do to Marc) and the Rizzoli book on Sprouse. But the Louis products – bags, scarves, leggings, etc – are all Marc since Read more →
Why do European magazines always come with something extra? In London, we picked up a bunch of teen magazines that came with glittery eye shadow and neon lipstick, (which we totally used for Henry Holland’s party). The British Bazaar came with a shopping supplement that was so well done we almost forgot to read the Read more →
We thought Gwyneth Paltrow’s July Bazaar cover was just a very delayed reaction to Iron Man – turns out it’s part of a 40-page Estée Lauder campaign that continues within the magazine, just barely disguised as editorial. The cosmetic giant placed the four faces of their new perfume, Sensuous, throughout the issue, even though the Read more →
