Kate Moss fans and wannabes, rejoice!

The iconic supermodel lands on the cover of Vogue magazine this month. Looking prim and proper, Moss is the face of Vogue's age issue, which also features Chris Everett, Ziyi Zhang, and John McCain's 96-year-old mother Roberta, amongst others.

Poor Gwynnie. Her Vogue cover issue was their lowest selling issue of the entire year so far. Maybe that's because nobody realized it was a picture of her on the cover -- she was Photoshopped until she looked like a wax statue that just vaguely resembled Gwyneth Paltrow.

The media has been abuzz about the July issue of Italian Vogue which will feature over 150 pages dedicated exclusively to black models and stories about successful black entertainers and performers. Famed photographer Steven Meisel -- you may remember him from his Naked Madonna days -- was selected by Vogue Italia editor Franca Sozzani to shoot the issue.

The issue will feature new faces like Jourdan Dunn alongside famed beauties like Tyra Banks, Naomi Campbell and Alek Wek. Sozzani says she was inspired by Barrack Obama's historic presidential campaign. Her intention was to spark conversations about race, and to demonstrate that there is more to beauty than blond, blue eyed Russian models.

OK. Oscar winner and former Chanel babe Nicole Kidman is pregnant. She's been so for a couple of months now. So we're kind of unsure as to why Vogue felt compelled to splash the "Pregnancy Update" cover line right under her chin on their July issue, but whatevs.

First, we absolutely adore Vogue's prolific editor-at-large, Andre Leon Talley.

If we ever got the chance to meet him in person, we imagine it would involve us losing all of our senses and embarrassing ourselves so much so that the people standing around watching us stumble over our words would begin to feel awkward for us.

The August and September issues of Vogue magazine are some of the most highly regarded in the industry. The cover girls are almost always worthy and the spreads inside tend to be equally epic.

They are also legendarily filled to capacity with fashion ads.

So, to make sure his Fall '08 collection gets a chance to shine, designer Oscar de la Renta is running his ads, exclusively, in Vogue a month in advance of his competition.

Unlike Paris, New York Fashion Week isn't known for its spectacular couture extravaganzas or avant-garde designers (except for Marc Jacobs, of course).

So you can imagine all of the "Oohs" and "Aahs" surrounding the garments from American label Rodarte, which is known for its whimsical and unreal designs: Their Fall '08 collection was inspired by bloody Japanese slasher flicks and featured torn gothic knit wear with spiked Christian Louboutin heels.

This year, sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy -- the designers behind the frighteningly amazing brand -- have been nominated for the Swarovski Award for womenswear in this year's CFDA awards.

New York Magazine recently caught up with two ladies to discuss clothes, inspirations, and fabrications. Enjoy.

Want to get your hands on a piece of discount fashion and music memorabilia? Supermodel and actress Jerry Hall is auctioning off the dress she wore when she and Mick Jagger to their vows in Bali. Apparently, she's cleaning house and wants to unload about 70 items from her somewhat charmed fashion career. Supposedly, the dress is going to sell for somewhere between $600-$1000. That's not a typo. The proceeds are going to charity, and the prices are 'pre-specified' -- because Jerry wants them to be affordable.

Seriously, if it's for charity, why price it so low? That's less than lots of brides pay for their normal wedding dresses, much less a dress that a supermodel and a Rolling Stone did God knows what in. As you might imagine, most of the stuff that Jerry's getting rid of is high-end designer clothing, so almost everything in the auction is going to be a huge bargain. If we bought something, we'd totally flip it on Ebay.

Imagine being told that the legendary designer John Galliano would be attending your graduate fashion show, only to have him bail on you the night before because of some sudden illness.

We suspect that we'd be furious, confused, suspicious, and left feeling slightly dead on the inside.

If there is one thing we know about Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, it's the fact that she loves herself some Coco Rocha.

Seems like there's a new celebrity trend afoot: going topless for Vogue! Just last week word broke that Eva Mendes would be appearing semi-clothed (and weird looking) in this month's Vogue Italia, and today we learn that Claudia Schiffer will be baring all (or at least most) for Vogue Germany.



Not that posing sans-clothing is anything new for celebrities, but the recent rash of nudie portraits for Vogue in particular has us wondering: is naked the new black? How long before we see C-List celebs trying to keep up by taking it off for lesser known mags? Can we expect to see Courtney Love or Britney Spears reviving their fledgling careers by posing for Mirabella?

Let's hope not. Fingers crossed, this mysterious new trend will die out before it jumps the shark.

It has finally arrived. Well, sort of. The hotly-anticipated Sex and the City feature film hits theaters on May 30th.

And Vogue has tapped the flick's stars, Sara Jessica Parker (Carrie) and Chis North (Mr.Big), to front their June issue. The accompanying editorial with the two is called "Rebel Romance," and features the on-screen lovers in various locations getting intimate -- while wearing the chicest outfits, of course.

Style.com just added this video of the shoot, which was photographed by Annie Lebowitz over a period of three days back in March. There is also a sneak peak of a scene from the movie that depicts Carrie striking a pose for a fictional age issue of Vogue.

We. Can.Not. Wait!

It's official. Hollywood has taken over the fashion industry.

Evidence? After leaving rehab a couple of months ago, actress Eva Mendes scooped up some free cashmere sweaters from Calvin Klein and an additional contract with the brand to model its intimates.

And now the beautiful lady has landed on the cover of what some consider to be the fashion bible, Vogue.

After snapping the 34-year-old Cuban-American for Calvin's perfume and underwear ads earlier this year, which will make their debut in fall fashion mags, famed photographer Steven Meisel asked Mendes to pose for the May cover of Italian Vogue.

Check out the glamorous photos inside the issue.

As we've repeatedly documented on this site, their is a clear lack of diversity in the fashion industry. All of the runways, editorials, advertisements, and fashion covers have been completely white-washed for the past eight years now.

It's gotten so bad that former model agency owner Bethann Hardison -- who use to rep supermodels Tyson Beckford and Naomi Campbell -- had to convene two summits to discuss the refusal of some of fashion's most powerful to embrace black beauty. CFDA president Diane Von Furstenberg even sent out a letter prior to fashion week urging designers to incorporate models of all ethnicities onto their catwalks.

However, after the fall '08 fashion season concluded, the runways were as bland as ever.

But just when we thought all was lost, it seems as though somebody has finally gain some semblance of a conscience.

Do a quick Google search of Sean Avery and you'll find little about his involvement in the fashion world. Instead, the results come back full of stories about him being involved with the Elliot Spitzer prostitute scandal, his controversial tactics in the NHL and his feuds with his hockey teammates and coaches. He doesn't seem to be a very well-liked man. But, the people at Vogue are cool with all that. Sean will be interning with them this summer.
