Man Launches Site All About How Women Are Better Than Men
We cover a fair amount of pro-lady news on this here site, but we love the idea of a site dedicated to nothing but good news for the fairer sex — which is exactly why we’re excited about our boss Dan Abrams‘ new website: Man Down News.
PHOTOS: 10 Most Controversial Stories Of The Year
If there’s one thing fashion loves to do, it’s push the envelope. And while some of the stories included on this list made the cut due to a deliberately controversial editorial vision (ahem, Terry Richardson), many more made the list by sheer (and often embarrassingly obtuse) accident. But one thing is for sure, these are the stories that kept tongues wagging, traffic spiking, and many publicists very, very busy.
PHOTOS: Glamour‘s Women Of The Year Awards Were Inspiring
Last night’s Glamour Women of the Year Awards had Carnegie Hall bursting with so much girl power, it’s amazing the place didn’t explode. Last night marked the awards’ 20th birthday, and the star-studded event certainly did that milestone justice.
Which Celeb Cover Resulted In A Huge Sales Boost?
For fashion magazines, a single September issue can make or break the year. The Audit Board of Circulation’s Rapid Report, which counts the number of single-copy sales of each magazine, lets us know just how well the glossies fared. And you might be surprised at which celebrity gave their magazine a serious newsstand sales boost.
September Issues: The Ads Are Rolling In
In a bit of media news brimming with money and temporary economic happiness, most fashion magazines have reported that their ad sales for the September issues have outstripped the dismal numbers from 2009.
Glamour’s September Issue Crushes The Competition
Whether fat or thin, September issues always make headlines — and this year Glamour, characterized as one of Conde Nast‘s most reliable cash cows in a Media Decoder post by Jeremy Peters, is looking a little healthier for its September 2010 issue.
Why Are Fashion Mags Starting To Look Like Tiger Beat?
Be honest — you’ve probably never given to much thought as to why you buy a magazine. Needless to say, it’s not a something the industry takes lightly. And now they’re looking past the typical celebs and pinning their last editorial chips on underaged and under-covered starlets like Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus or the cast of Gossip Girl
Freak Show! Site Compiles The Most Ridiculous Poses Ever
Fashion tends to take itself super seriously, but every so often, you’ll open a glossy and think, “WTF?” The comical truth is that the overly creative director probably wasn’t joking when he asked the model to strip naked in a pair of heels and make love to the tile floor — but who’s to say we can’t relish in the ridiculousity of it? Whilst on the the hunt for more artistic fare we stumbled across Ridiculous Pose’s dedicated catalogue of model fails and couldn’t help but share.
Glamour’s “Ask A Stylist” App Hiring On Craigslist
We were wondering how Glamour and Like.com’s “Ask A Stylist” app — which promises to deliver instant styling suggestions from professional stylists in ten minutes or less — was going work. It turns out, like the rest of us, they’ll be relying on the magic of Craigslist.
EXCLUSIVE: Glamour Responds To Cover Controversy
Yesterday we wrote a post wondering whether or not Glamour had retouched its trio of bikini clad cover girls, also known as Victoria’s Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio, Sport’s Illustrated Swimsuit Issue model Brooklyn Decker, and plus-size supermodel Crystal Renn. We e-mailed Glamour for comment after our post went up and now Glamour’s editor in chief Cindi Leive has responded.
Fashion Gets Snubbed At The National Magazine Awards
Last night, the winners of the National Magazine Awards were announced at the annual gala held at Lincoln Center. With the exception of a big win by Glamour and Anna Wintour’s induction into the Magazine Editor’s Hall of Fame, it seems that once again fashion magazines were snubbed. But instead of getting down and out, lamenting about why the fashion world was left out for the second year in a row, we decided to give you a chance to choose your own winners.
The Fair Factor: Blondes Dominate May And April Covers
Earlier this month we reported on a study that said blondes make more money and marry richer men. Apparently the magazine industry also thinks blondes are better for circulation.
‘Ask A Stylist’ App Solves All Your Fashion Emergencies
The brainchild of the geeks over at Like.com and the formerly glamorous (as in: used to work at Glamour magazine), “Ask a Stylist” delivers instant styling suggestions from professional stylists in ten minutes or less.
The Girls Of Glee Get Glamorous
We took the “guilty” out of “guilty pleasure” a long time ago when it comes to Glee. And while fashion is not necessarily something that comes to mind while ruminating on the genius of the show, the cast’s break-out stars have been tearing up the red carpet offscreen, most notably Lea Michele and Dianna Agron. So it comes as no surprise that the ladies would be featured in Glamour’sBest Friends issue.
A Very Fashionable April Fools’ Day Round-Up
Contrary to popular belief, the fashion world does have a sense of humor, and despite the fact that magazines are in the tank and brands are struggling to stay above water, everyone seems to be coming out to play for April Fool’s Day. Here are some of our favorite fashion-related jokes of the day.
Glamour Goes Glitzy With 3 April Covers
Glamour went extra glamorous this month for their 50 Most Glam Women of 2010 issue. Leighton Meester, Amanda Seyfried, and Zoe Saldana each graced their own April cover, wearing a minidress more sparkly (and shorter) than the next.
Alessandra Ambrosio Calls Body Criticism “Ridiculous”
Victoria’s Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio recently took part in a Glamour magazine cover shoot with Sports Illustrated model Brooklyn Decker and reigning plus-size queen Crystal Renn.
