In 2010, Liu Wen became the first Asian woman to be the face of Estée Lauder's global brand. And now, just in time for New York Fashion Week, she explains how much of a big deal that was for her.

Last night, the 2012 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show was held in New York, and it was a delightfully absurd smorgasbord of flesh, wings, and lingerie. One of the most shocking get-ups? Twenty-year-old Karlie Kloss in "Native" garb.

On the same day that British Vogue editor-in-chief Alexandra Shulman is hitting the headlines for her comments to the Daily Mail's Liz Jones about how fashion is no-way no-how absolutely positively cross-your-heart-and-thank-your-best-black-friend not racist, it has come to light that the latest issue of her magazine…

• Tom Ford's issue of Vogue Paris boasts a spread of children wearing jewelry and makeup, the promised editorial featuring women d'un certain age who spurn plastic surgery, and a photo of Tom Ford in a Native American-style headdress. Tasteful. [HuffPo]

• Want free jeans? Don't mind handing a corporation access to your personal data and real-time location? Gap will give away 10,000 pairs of jeans to Facebook fans who "check in" to its stores on an as-yet-unannounced date tomorrow. [Fashionista]

• David Walliams says Stone asks, "'What time are you home because I want to know what time to put the shepherd's pie on?' I never thought I'd have that. An international supermodel who can make a great shepherd's pie." [Sun]

In September of 2007, it was reported that of all the 101 shows that took place during New York fashion week, one third employed zero models of color. Since then, we've tried to track diversity on the runway every season.

• Crystal Renn is in an ad for Chanel's downtown New York store, which is reopening this fall. She poses alongside Lagerfeld boytoy Baptiste Giabiconi, whom she calls "the most gorgeous man I have ever seen, hands down."

Here are 29 covers from the hallowed, heavy September fashion issues (click to soak it all in). So how do Vogue, Elle, and the smaller titles stack up? Let's put September to a full statistical analysis.

• Jennifer Aniston probably looks forlorn in her fragrance ad because she doesn't have a husband. She calls Lolavie a "nonperfume perfume" and says making it, "I felt like a little chemist." But all we hear is: Babies. Babies. Babies. [WWD]

After tracking diversity on the runways for several seasons, we took off last September because we thought the fashion industry was finally coming to its senses. Models of color were getting booked! How disappointing, then, to tally this season's numbers.

• Kate Moss says her motto is, "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels." [WWD]
