If you needed a surefire sign that fall is finally on the way, and you live in a concrete jungle with legit zero trees that could even potentially have leaves that change color, look no further: The September issues are (almost) here! And we've got 'em all.
The September issues are kind of like the Olympics in magazine publishing: Each glossy competes to be the biggest and the best. Booking the right cover star is, obviously, a big part of the battle. Likewise, for celebrities, nabbing the cover of a September issue is a coup of sorts. So who got the honors this year?
We hope your bags and backs are ready because it's nearly that time of year again! That's right--the September issues are upon us! As Candy Pratt's
It's safe to say the magazine industry has had some ups and downs this year, as we reported yesterday, with more downs than publishers like Conde Nast
Despite the fact that Tavi Gevinson is 16--and therefore bang on in the middle of Seventeen's demo--the teenage blogger superstar is not too keen on the magazine. Which is kind of the reason why she started her very own (and totally awesome) teen magazine Rookie in the first place. So, you can imagine her ire when Seventeen not-so-subtly ripped off Rookie's Ask a Grown Man feature with its Ask an A-lister feature. For those of you unfamiliar with Ask a Grown Man, it's this awesome feature that has adult celebrities like John Hamm and Judd Apatow honestly answering reader-submitted questions via a home computer camera--it's un-produced and completely genuine (and if you haven't watched the John Hamm one watch it now). Seventeen's take however, plays up the celebrity angle and has the so-called "A-lister" done up in hair and makeup and filmed in the magazine's offices. "This is the first time that I've felt that something I've done, or Rookie has done, has been copied," Tavi told Racked today. She continued:
Yesterday, a half-dozen teens teamed up with SPARK Movement to stage a mock runway show near Condé Nast as part of an effort to get Teen Vogue to be
It's hard to believe that a 14-year-old could actually inspire change in the fashion industry, but that's just what teenager Julia Bluhm did when she teamed up with girl-activist group SPARK Movement last April, petitioning Seventeen magazine to feature unaltered, un-retouched real girls. Seventeen EIC Anne Shoket finally responded earlier this month with a "Body Peace Treaty"--pledging to be more transparent about their photography practices and to "always feature real girls and models who are healthy" and "never change girls’ body or face shapes." Now, a ripple effect is underway. Today other members of the SPARK Movement demonstrated outside of Conde Nast to petition Teen Vogue to make similar changes.
Back in April, 14-year old Julia Bluhm petitioned Seventeen to stop digitally altering models' faces and bodies. She got 85,000 signatures, staged a demonstration outside Seventeen's offices and met with Seventeen EIC Anne Shoket, who, in response, published a new "Body Peace Treaty" in the teen glossy's latest issue promising to "Never change girls’ body or face shapes (Never have, never will)." While Shoket doesn't actually state that the magazine will stop using Photoshop, and in fact just vows to continue current practices and be more up front about what goes into photo shoots, Bluhm was happy with the results. Now, Carina Cruz and Emma Stydahar, 16 and 17-year-old members of advocacy group SPARK, of which Bluhm is also a member, have launched a similar petition on Change.org asking Teen Vogue to "Follow Seventeen’s example and pledge not to alter any model’s body or face and to celebrate beauty in all its forms," which so far has over 26,000 signatures. Yesterday, Teen Vogue's PR director Erin Kaplan (remember her?) released the following statement in response:
Back in April, we told you about 14-year-old Julia Bluhm, who started a petition on Change.org urging teen glossy Seventeen to post one unaltered “real” photo spread per month, with the hopes it would help girls feel better about their bodies. At the time, the petition had collected a respectable 7,000 signatures; now it's close to 85,000 and Bluhm, along with an organization called SPARK, staged a demonstration outside Seventeen's New York offices, launched a Twitter campaign, and met with Seventeen EIC Anne Shoket, who, as we've learned from Ad Week, has finally responded to Bluhm's request. The August issue of Seventeen features a page dedicated to the new "Body Peace Treaty." Here are the most relevant "vows:"

New York Fashion Week Finally Wrapped Up: We saw lots of well-dressed people, random celebrities, underaged models, and, of course, beautiful clothes. The Grammys Happened:... and (gasp!) celebrities attended, wearing clothes and everything! Adele Won Six Grammys, Covers March Vogue: While we wish the Fashion Bible had opted for a full-legnth shot of the singer, we will co-sign on her glorious cleavage, featured prominently for all the world to see.

She was 48 years old. She will be sorely missed by all.

Claudia Schiffer Looks Amaaazing On The Cover Of German Vogue: She casts eyes at us from under a black lace mask and we are struck with envy at her absolutely flawless waves (and lips and skin and everything because she's Claudia and she's perfect...). This image rocks. {Models.com} Undercover Will Be Uniqlo's Next Collaboration Line: Uniqlo sent out a press release heralding Jun Takahashi's Undercover as their next collaboration line, which will take the place of +J (so sad). No details yet, but we have awhile; the line won't be out until Spring 2012. {The Shophound} Topshop Adds An Eveningwear Line And Is Building A Vegas Store: Called Dress Up, the new line is comprised of "elaborate, embellished pieces in fine silks and satin with beading and sequins" to target the "going out" market, says director Philip Green. It will do well in the sequin capital, Las Vegas, where they have a store coming in March 2012. Other future store plans include Chicago and Toronto, plus ones in Brazil, Australia and Mexico. {Racked}
