WATCH: Karl And V Man Stuff Dollars Into Kanye’s Mouth
If we made a list of things that are awesome, Karl Lagerfeld, Kanye West and money would undoubtedly be on it somewhere. V Man decided to take those things and create a magazine cover.
Katy Perry, Lady Gaga Make Bank For March Magazines
The September issues may be the most important of the year when it comes to magazine advertising pages, but March is a pretty close second, which is why March covers are such a big deal. The latest numbers show that Lady Gaga and Katy Perry made bank for their covers of Vogue and People Style Watch, respectively. But while numbers for most well-known fashion magazines look good, many women’s fitness books had lower sales this year than they did last year.
Thanks To Hearst, Mags Now Realize Overspending Is Bad
Hearst, which will be the country’s second largest magazine publisher by the time it completes its deal to buy Elle and other titles from Lagardere, managed to make it through economic horror by continuously keeping both its budgets and its staffs leaner than most androgynous male models — and keeping its nose out of the air. And now, it’s doing what Time Inc. and Conde Nast can’t even think about doing: spending over a billion dollars on new acquisitions.
PHOTOS: The 15 Best Magazine Covers Of 2010
In a year when the best advice anyone could give about anything was “Do the best you can with less,” fashion magazines — the smart ones, anyway — seemed to respond in kind. White space, nudity, and faces (and bodies) rather than full-on fashion dominated the best magazine covers of 2010, and we’ve assembled a group of 15 books we think did it best.
PHOTOS: Barbie Gaga’s Meat Dress Is Made Of Real Meat
To honor the Year of Lady Gaga (what, you thought it was supposed to be the year of the tiger?) Entertainment Weekly has featured some of her most iconic outfits in the pages of its Entertainers of the Year issue. And to make the whole thing so post-postmodern it hurts, they miniaturized those looks and put them on another iconic and multifaceted blonde, Barbie.
W Picks Up Vanity Fair‘s Trashed Rooney Mara Cover
We always wondered how magazines within the same publishing houses avoided putting the same celeb on the same cover in the same month. And we found out this morning that at Conde Nast, it’s Graydon Carter‘s way or the highway.
Willow Smith Featured In W’s December Issue
The fashion establishment is starting to take notice of one Miss Willow Smith, and we couldn’t be happier! The youngest Smith makes her glossy fashion magazine debut in December’s issue of W magazine, which will hereafter be known as the most awesome issue Stefano Tonchi has rolled out to date.
PHOTOS: Jake And Anne Get Naked For Entertainment Weekly
Generally, we like to cover what our favorite celebrities wear, but today we saw three different Entertainment Weekly cover options featuring Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway naked, and nudity turned into a story.
Tom Ford Put Himself On The Cover Of French Vogue
Tom Ford might have come down with a case of what we call Lagerfelditis, the incessant need for some designers to create and beautify and improve things that are not clothes. That’s the only thing that explains the amount of work Ford did on the holiday issue of French Vogue.
Why Isn’t James Franco Wearing A Suit On GQ’s New Cover?
GQ‘s annual Men of the Year issue always features famous guys who are given different monikers of awesomeness. This year, James Franco shines as the magazine’s Leading Man. And we certainly can’t say he doesn’t deserve it, especially given all the hard work he’s done (and the little bits of drag he’s left floating around on the Internet). But what gives us pause is the clothing — or relative lack thereof — that Franco is wearing in his cover shot. Unlike the other three formally dressed cover stars, Franco assumes a rather casual pose in a rumpled red t-shirt from Armani Exchange.
The FTC Could Sue Harper’s Bazaar For Its Ad Preference List
It turns out that last week’s embarrassing (but entirely not shocking) revelation that advertisers get more play in Harper’s Bazaar fashion editorials is a little more than egg on Glenda Bailey‘s face. The Federal Trade Commission has grounds for taking legal action against the magazine that could change the way our favorite fashion glossies do business for good.
Tavi And Jane Pratt’s New ‘Zine To Launch In Springtime
Tavi Gevinson and Jane Pratt are working really fast to get their new joint venture off the ground. Is it wrong that we’re excited about how fast they’re forging ahead?
PHOTOS: Crystal Renn Is On A Horse
Make all the Old Spice quips you want, but Crystal Renn‘s spread in this December’s Elle Canada is no joke. The plus-size model was shot by genius photo duo Leda and St. Jacques in a stable, and in the photos she prances around with all the pretty ponies wearing only red and black gowns and a riding helmet. And we think it’s fabulous.
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.
PHOTO: ‘Lady Gaga’ Pees Standing Up For Candy Magazine
We sorta thought all of the “Lady Gaga could very well be a hermaphrodite” jokes ended with the music video for “Telephone” but it turns out that we were wrong. Candy Magazine, which earlier in the month posted photos of James Franco in drag, hired a male Lady Gaga impersonator to find out what it would look like if Gaga used a urinal.
Brazilian Mag Shops Tons Of Makeup On Justin Bieber’s Face
With all of Justin Bieber‘s forays into the beauty business, it was really only a matter of time before a South American teen zine shopped an almost offensive amount of lip gloss onto the Canadian pop sensation’s lips.
The Hidden Cost Of Being A Playboy Model
We knew that modeling could sometimes be a tough gig, but today we found out that for some models, the cost of actually getting work is rising. Page Six reported today that models who attend Playboy castings in some cities have to pay a $20 registration fee just to get their feet in the door, and a our good friend Andrew Jackson doesn’t necessarily guarantee a spot in Hugh Hefner‘s glossy.
Sally Singer: Mum’s The Word On First T Cover
More often than not, it isn’t too terribly hard to get most magazines to let go of an upcoming cover. So maybe, by refusing to talk about the upcoming and highly anticipated issue of T Magazine, Sally Singer is trying to tell us that it won’t be like most magazines.
We Believe Alexa Chung Doesn’t Have An Eating Disorder
Rag on her shoes though we might, we’ve always thought Alexa Chung was a lovely and talented young woman. But more than a few people have accused her of having an eating disorder, and the model, designer and TV personality is sick and tired of hearing it.
Bret Michaels ‘Starved’ For His Abs, Could Have Used Makeup
Bret Michael’s cover of Billboard Magazine features an impressively ripped (and kinda gross-looking) set of abs. The rocker says didn’t eat for a day to make them happen, but there is a plethora of cosmetic products on the market he could have used to get the same muscly look.
