Cementing her status as the modern day supermodel, Karlie Kloss landed not one, but two Vogue covers for the most important month of them all: September. These are pretty big coups for the 19-year-old year old, especially considering magazines tend to go with the biggest celebrity they can find (case in point: US Vogue‘s forthcoming Read more →

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 →
British Vogue EIC Alexandra Shulman gave a talk in London Wednesday night and the magazine published some of the most interesting takeaways on its own blog–something we can’t imagine ever happening at American Vogue. And at Italian Vogue, Franca Sozzani would have just blogged about it herself.
Regardless, Shulman, who flies pretty under the radar for a Vogue editor, revealed some interesting tidbits–like how one of the best-selling recording artists on the planet can’t sell fashion magazines, her burning desire to get Kate Middleton and how too-small sample sizes have prompted her to write letters to designers.
Apparently, music stars don’t sell magazines:
Insanely prolific Vogue cover girl Kate Moss has nabbed her first Vogue UK cover of 2012. And based on her track record, there’s a pretty decent chance it won’t be her last. She’s now been on 32 (!?!) covers of the magazine’s British edition alone since her first in March 1993.
Kris Humphries Strips Down to His Skivvies for WestEast Magazine: There are one too many crotch shots in the Nets baller’s spread for the mag’s upcoming issue. Click for pics if you’re into that kind of thing. {Hollywood Life}
Blue Ivy Carter Already Has Swag: Jay-Z posted a photo on his Life+Times website of three-month-old baby Blue’s white Adidas x Jeremy Scott ‘Wings’ sneakers. The caption? “Blue’s first flight.” Awwww….{Life+Times}
Banana Republic Unveils Holiday 2012 Offerings: It’s only just starting to get warm, but we’re loving Banana Republic’s luxe cold weather offerings. Is it too early to start our fall/winter wishlists? {Fabsugar}
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, Read more →
There is a lot of speculation around who is going to cover Vogue‘s March issue. Styleite reported yesterday that it heard the magazine was calling in samples for Taylor Swift, who attended Rodarte’s runway show in September with Anna Wintour. But this morning WWD is reporting that Adele is March’s cover girl.
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 →
“Franca Sozzani once said something about John Galliano that I thought was perfect. She said that ‘Dior’s solution and salvation would be to bring back that man,’–and I agree. Of course he would never do that after being so badly treated. What he said was horrific, but said under the influence of drugs and alcohol–that Read more →
“I don’t take drugs because if I did I’d love them–I’d be a junkie. And because I’m Jewish, I’d probably be a dealer, too.” -Alber Elbaz in a hilarious and utterly charming interview with Vogue UK, on the pressures designers face and their coping mechanisms. Read the whole thing. It’s worth it.
Storms, like the one that’s currently headed for New York and just cancelled my Montauk trip, can be scary and sometimes even dangerous, so everyone be careful this weekend! That being said, they can also make for intriguing backdrops and themes in fashion editorials and ad campaigns. You’d be hard-pressed to find an Annie Leibovitz-lensed photograph that takes place outdoors without some ominous-looking clouds. Somehow, they can make any subject look so much more captivating and dramatic.
So, on this rainy, gloomy day, we’ve decided to round up some of our favorite storm-inspired fashion photographs. Enjoy and please be safe!
