That was fast. Will she become ubiquitous once again?
TGIF! Here's all the news you need to know to take you into the weekend.
Has Chrissy Teigen found an Instagram Terms of Service loophole? The Sports Illustrated model posted a nudie pic (naturally) to celebrate her 200,000th follower and has yet to face the repercussions. {Gawker} We're starting to feel really bad for JCPenney. The struggling department store just laid off 2,200 employees in addition to the 19,000 it already let go in the course of its revamp. {HuffPo} New face of Sheba cat food (yep) Eva Longoria is certainly taking her spokeswoman duties seriously: The actress showed up to a brand event with an actual feline in hand. {The Cut}
Vogue's Health Initiative has proven to be more difficult to abide by than its editors may have thought. About one week ago, we called Vogue China out on possibly using an underage model in its August issue--two months after the Health Initiative and its ban on models under 16 was announced. The model Ondria Hardin's agent would not tell us her birthdate. But, today, Vogue UK confirms she was indeed 15 at the time.
Did Vogue China violate its own health initiative by putting Ondria Hardin, who reportedly just turned 16, in the magazine?
While print publishing's had a tough time in the states and in many parts of the world over the past few years, the magazine industry in China is apparently booming. As we already know, China has become a huge market for luxury fashion, but not everyone is just buying the clothes. According to a piece in the Times this past weekend, young Chinese women are spending huge chunks of their incomes on Chinese versions of Western fashion glossies such as Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Elle, etc. They're obsessed. And Western publishing houses like Hearst are making bank. Fashion labels are putting even more money into advertising in China than in the states and these glossies practically have more ad pages than they know what to do with. Both Cosmopolitan and Elle have to publish twice monthly over there because one would be too thick to print and Vogue added four extra issues per year. So, is this it? Is China the antidote to print's decline here in the west? The thing is, these publishers' ability to make money has little to do with their publications' quality or popularity.
We all know that magazines like to photoshop out any model's flaws (or pores, or freckles, or thigh bulge)--but did someone at Vogue China really ta
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 deci
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.
I don't have to tell you that the September issue is the most important issue of the year... But in case you're living under a rock without a copy of The September Issue, it is. Lucky for us, just about every magazine's September issue cover has been revealed, from Vogue US romantic Kate Moss shot to a sexy Cindy Crawford on the cover of Harper's Bazaar Singapore. Still missing from the pack is V's highly anticipated cover styled by Carine Roitfeld and Vogue Italia's cover. From the existing covers we've discerned that Louis Vuitton is the new Prada. Vuitton's AW11 collection appears on 6 of the 51 covers shown here - more than any other label, so far. And don't forget that LOVE's model covers hit newsstands on September 1! Will you be getting a Lara or a Mariacarla? (p.s. Yes, that is Leigh Lezark on the cover of Harper's Bazaar Korea - it's the last slide.)
Tao Okamoto As Freja In Vogue China: There's nothing better than a model's homage to another model, and this one is amazing. Okamoto gets wispy-haired and leathered up to recreate Freja's enviable model-off-duty style and the result is dead on. Props to stylist Claire Richardson. {Models.com} Rihanna Covers September Glamour: So it begins. The first of the September covers appears with this seriously bootylicious sequin pants shot. {The Cut} Fashion Film: Daphne Guiness As Jean Seberg: Guinness collaborated with filmmaker and photographer Joe Lally to create The Murder of Jean Seberg, an art film that loosely tells the story of the beloved American actress' controversial death in 1979 (it's more conceptual than fact-based). Read the interviews with Guinness and Lally as well. {ShowStudio}

Yesterday, we reported on Anna Wintour's mysterious trip to China. Now, thanks to, um, Shanghaiist, we know a little more. First of all, Anna didn't go it alone-she's there with American Vogue's Director of Special Events Sylvana Ward Durrett. Thanks to some kind of Chinese version of Tumblr/Twitter and Google Translator, we've determined Anna is there to speak at some sort of forum at the Central Academy of Fine Arts Museum of Fine Art in Beijing, where people will be able to ask her questions. The event is set to take place today. Anna and Sylvana also paid a visit to Vogue China's offices to meet with their Editor in Chief Angelica Cheung, who looks like an edgier, more asymmetrical version of Anna.
