Peaches has a magazine? does this mean that celebrities will move from making clothing lines, to making magazines?
DUO TYPE: Proenza Schouler’s Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough have been tapped to guest curate (or guest edit, as some throwbacks might describe it) avant-garde Belgium fashion publication A Magazine. Martin Margiela, Yohji Yamamoto and Givenchy’s Riccardo Tisci are some of the designers who have lent their efforts to the publication, which was founded in 2004. The Proenza Schouler edition comes out in the spring.
Britney’s Glamour Cover to Run on International Editions
Glamour magazine is running its photo of Britney Spears not only on the cover of the U.S. edition, but on the covers in seven other countries, as well.
Britney will grace Russia, Sweden and Greece’s editions of Glamour, among others.
Magazine covers rarely run across international editions simultaneously, writes Mediaweek. Elle featured Madonna in multiple overseas editions twice, while Seventeen has done so with stars like Christina Aguilera, but more often, a magazine holds its cover photos close for 30 days to give it exclusivity.
The magazine is hoping the cover, along with the inside story on her so-called “crazy year,” will boost flagging sales. Glamour newsstand sales fell 9.2% in the first half of 2008, to 685,633, versus the first half of last year.
News Mags has delayed the launch of Glamour magazine
News Magazines has shelved the $10 million launch of fashion magazine Glamour which it planned for early next year.
News Magazines chief Sandra Hook said the launch was being postponed due to the "uncertain economic outlook for 2009''.
"Glamour is a fantastic magazine and will be a huge hit in Australia when the time is right,'' she said. "But with difficult retail conditions, Glamour's strong potential would be affected if we went ahead next year.''
The move is believed to have triggered a number of redundancies at News Magazines, which has also restructured its management team.
Ms Hook said the company was being split into three publishing groups - food, lifestyle and specialist. "By creating highly specialised management teams to manage natural groups of titles we can focus more sharply on our priorities: market share, business improvement and brand development,'' she said.
Something to look forward to next year

During her keynote yesterday at the WWD Media + Style Summit, Cathie Black, president of Hearst Magazines, was not only refreshingly blunt ("I think we've all stopped lying to each other" she said of the state magazine business); she was refreshingly, if cautiously, optimistic about the future of print, telling the audience (the most attractive, sweetest smelling of any magazine conference I’ve ever attended, by the way) that the November issue of Cosmopolitan sold some 450,000 more copies than it did a year ago.
“Why the enormous bump?” I asked Black afterwards. “I don’t know,” she said. “We had Lauren Conrad—“L.C.”—on the cover [with the coverline “Bad Girl Sex”]. Someone told me during tough times, people want more sex, maybe?”
The first news on the launch of D&C Russia appeared when Alexander Lebedev, the Russian oligarch, bought D&C license, reportedly for his London-based son, Evgeniy.
In spring it became clear that the team behind Russian edition will be the one that worked on the online-publication LAM Magazine [much acclaimed by Dazed&Confused and Jefferson Hack – jk]. Hack personally came to Moscow to overview the work on the zero issue. Almost all summer long the crowd discussed how the publication would look like and who was going to score editor-in-chief position. The issue had to be out in fall. But then the crisis came.
The zero issue still made it in print by the circulation of 1000. Yet it’s not clear whether this issue has any sense, because the actual launch is postponed for uncertain term and it may be that the features from this issue won’t go public anyway.
As Alexander lebedev mentioned in his phone interview the magazine was to launch in February or September 2009. He did not deny his son could get the editor-in-chief’s position (contrary to the constant rumors Roman Mazurenko, the man behind LAM was going to become EIC of D&C Russia). Lebedev also confirmed Jefferson Hack and Derk Sauer of Independent Media constantly overviewed Russian launch.
LOVE IN A COLD CLIMATE: Advertising revenues may be falling and chill winds blowing through the magazine industry, but that hasn’t stopped Conde Nast from pressing ahead with its latest magazine launch. The UK arm of Conde Nast (parent of WWD) has dubbed its new, bi-annual style magazine Love. As reported, it will be edited by Katie Grand, and will make its debut with the March issue hitting newsstands on February 19. Like Grand herself, the staff has come chiefly from Bauer Media’s Pop magazine. New additions to the masthead include Francesca Burns, senior fashion editor-at-large, and Mark Frith, the former editor of Heat magazine and author of The Celeb Diaries (Ebury Publishing). Nicholas Coleridge, Conde Nast UK’s managing director, has described the new magazine as “edgy” and “high-end” and Grand has said it will focus on fashion and art.

If one fashion magazine isn't hurt by the current economic conditions, it has to be Katie Grand's new endeavor for Conde Nast UK, Love. The "high-end," "edgy" magazine, which was originally being tossed around for a February or March 2009 launch, is going full-steam ahead — new logo above — with an official launch on Feb. 19. Katie has taken most of her team from POP — including creative directors Lee Swillingham and Stuart Spalding, plus fashion editor Phoebe Arnold, who masqueraded around as a gravestone with the POP logo on it at Halloween.
New additions to the team include — as rumored — Francesca Burns, formerly of i-D, as senior fashion editor-at-large, plus Mark Frith, former editor of celebrity rag Heat, as editorial consultant. And Katie won't be the only stylist heavyweight on board — Joe McKenna is on the masthead as senior contributing fashion editor.
