How White Are the Women's Magazine Covers of 2016 So Far?
Women’s magazines, like the print business overall, have a notoriously poor history of foregrounding people of color, whether inside their pages, as subjects of their features, or of course, on their covers. Progress creeps along at the most marginal pace. Are the issues through the first half of 2016 any indication…
Why Are So Many Vogue Cover Stories Written by Men?
The Vogue cover story, which is to say the Vogue celebrity profile, is a very specific animal. Simultaneously fawning and enchanted by its own existence, it can sometimes approach self-parody, often knowingly, as a template of the celebrity profile and the clichés these profiles engender.
Lupita Nyong'o Checks Vogue for Comparing Her Hairdo to Audrey Hepburn's
Lupita Nyong’o’s literal high-art hairdo at this year’s Met Gala inspired Vogue to write a post comparing her to Audrey Hepburn, under the headline: “Is Lupita Nyong’o the New Audrey Hepburn?” The answer to that question might shock you...
This 100-Year-Old Model Looks Better Than Me
Vogue hit its centennial in 2016, and British department store Harvey Nichols decided to make an ad celebrating the milestone for their May issue.

I Only Learned Four Things From Taylor Swift's 73 Questions Video
Taylor Swift is the subject of Vogue’s latest 73 Questions video, and boy is it a disappointment. (Compared to Sarah Jessica Parker’s wonderful installment, they’ve all been pretty dull.) Though it was sort of fun to get an intimate glimpse of Swift’s Beverly Hills home, I learned only four interesting things during…
Allison Williams's Husband Annoyed Anna Wintour, Unclear If Their Marriage Will Recover

Taylor Swift's Latest Vogue Interview Was Conducted at Her Best Friend's Wedding
On the May cover of Vogue, Taylor Swift comes one step closer to revealing that she and Karlie Kloss are actually twins grown in the same Reptoid super-womb, but that’s not the real story here!

Vogue Keeps Treating Social Media Like It's a Cool New Trend That Everyone Wants to Read About
Kendall Jenner has landed the cover of a special 52-page, subscribers-only issue of Vogue this month, bundled together with Rihanna’s April issue. “64M Followers and Counting,” the cover blares, teasing the exhausting profile inside, which is, for some strange but at this point predictable reason, entirely focused on…
Completely Average Mother and Daughter Photographed For Cover of Vogue Paris
Earlier this year, Cindy Crawford announced she would be pseudo-retiring from modeling after turning 50. “I’m sure I’ll have my picture taken for 10 more years,” she told Rhapsody Magazine, “but not as a model anymore.” (Crawford later sort of backtracked on that statement.) A woman of her word, Crawford—who turned 50…
A Chat With Patricia Field About Styling Carrie Bradshaw, Old New York & Normcore's 'Dumbing Down'
Business is still booming at Patricia Field’s legendary Bowery boutique, despite the announcement, last December, that the red-haired downtown tastemaker/entrepreneur will be closing its doors at the end of February. “People want to shop here cause it’s over,” she says. A 4000-square-foot shrine to all things outré—a…
