As you may have started to notice, all 19 editions of Vogue, from the U.S. to India, dedicated their June 2012 issues to health. The collective decision to do so is a part of the new Vogue Health initiative, which aims to promote healthier, more realistic body images in magazine pages. It’s good timing. Not Read more →
Dressing Up Zuckerberg: Zuckerberg may be disgustingly rich now, but even ringing the NASDAQ bell to celebrate taking Facebook public wasn’t enough to get the Zuckster out of that damn hoodie. We got some of our favorite stylish dudes to play dress up with the Face of Facebook.

You know it’s almost officially summer when you start seeing topless pictures of Gisele popping up on magazine covers. This morning Vogue Paris tweeted this picture of Gisele on their June/July “body special” issue. When you’re doing a body issue, Gisele is an obvious choice. And wow. What an ass a body it is.
Continuing the recent resurgence of ’90s supermodels, Laetitia Casta graces the cover of Vogue Paris’ May 2012 issue (left). While the cover hasn’t gotten the warmest reception from Fashion Spot commenters, we like the fresh, effortless simplicity and how it showcases Casta’s natural beauty. Still, it’s a far cry from pre-Emmanuelle Alt covers and, as Read more →

Emmanuelle Alt is not your average Vogue editor and we’re beginning to love her for that.
When the French Vogue EIC enlisted her staff and some models to create this incredible video performance of “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” by Wham! we thought it was the best thing we’ve seen fashion people do in a long time. It was completely unexpected, original and something we couldn’t imagine Alt’s American counterpart doing in our wildest dreams. And now, thanks to Grazia, we know how it came about.
According to the British rag, it was all Alt’s idea. “I didn’t really [have to] think about it too much, because you know, I love Wham and George Michael!’
Karl’s turn as guest editor at Metro wasn’t just about Karl. The issue also features interviews with some of his favorite people including Azealia Banks (who performed at his house last week), Florence Welch (who performed at his spring show), Haider Ackermann (his preferred replacement at Chanel) and, of course, Carine Roitfeld, his partner in crime. Since any interview with the former Vogue Paris EIC is gold, we couldn’t wait to read and share the best parts. Click through to learn more about her relationship with Karl, not being “porno” anymore and new details on her forthcoming magazine, due out in September. Will she ever run out of interesting things to say?
It looks like those retro bodysuits from Prada’s spring 2012 collection are shaping up to be a popular magazine look. It’s not even February, and they’ve already made four glossy appearances–most recently on Daria Werbowy on the cover of Vogue Paris.
Dont judge a book by its cover… Unless it’s a magazine, in which case, sometimes the cover is the deciding factor of whether or not to buy the mag altogether.
The best covers of 2011 returned to a new naturalism and a fun aesthetic, like the Lara Stone T cover we’re still drooling over, pictured at left. Sure, there’s still room for artifice in fashion (see: Stella Tennant on Vogue Italia), but 2011 was a year for reflecting on natural beauties, incredible models, and stellar photography.
After toiling over hundred of covers, we’re bringing you “The Best” according to us. Did we forget your favorite? Let us know in the comments.
It happens every year: Our ever-growing pile of fashion magazines inches higher with each passing month, and by the time December rolls around, we can barely sift through the hundreds of stylish images we bookmarked for inspiration. 2011 was no exception, and in a year that celebrated retro supermodels, androgyny, vivid colors, and plenty of experimentation in the beauty department, choosing our favorites was particularly difficult.
The best editorials of the year ran the gamut from huge ensemble casts of blue-chip models styled by greats like Katie Grand and Carine Roitfeld, to intimate, one-on-one portraits of our favorite girls like Lindsey Wixson and Daria Werbowy. The acid brights that dominated the spring collections allowed for some pretty trippy trend stories last season, but the fall glossies featured much moodier imagery, with a number of gorgeous spreads in black and white.
Here are the editorials from 2011 that will stay tacked up on our walls and fill our inspiration boards well into the new year—and beyond.
The December/January edition of Vogue Paris has finally arrived, David Bowie-style. Editor Emmanuelle Alt has broken the mold of the typically guest-edited issue (remember the hubbub over Tom Ford’s last year? It was rumored to be one of the reasons for Carine Roitfeld’s exit from the magazine) but Alt has taken a different route, deeming Read more →
Does this get you in the holiday spirit? Kate Moss, who doesn’t go more than a few months without appearing on a Vogue cover, covers French Vogue‘s special Christmas/Music issue.
