The Palace Confirms Kate Middleton WON'T Be Posing For Vogue

Sorry Anna Wintour, no Kate Middleton for you. At least for the foreseeable future, as the Palace itself has well and truly confirmed that the Duchess of Cambridge will not be a Vogue cover girl any time soon. Although this was branded as Anna Wintour's dream, it isn't fair to say it's just Anna who will be missing out on the potential collaboration. We would have loved to see our princess covering the original fashion Bbble…maybe one day it will happen. Our fingers are crossed and we remain hopeful.

Kate Middleton to Cover American Vogue?

That Anna Wintour can be one very persuasive editor-in-chief, so if she is pressing Kate Middleton to cover her magazine, we have a feeling she will be more than happy to oblige. Anna Wintour is apparently adamant to get the new Royal to front American Vogue in the near future. She has enlisted the help of Mario Testino to help convince the Duchess, as he will inevitably be the one behind the lens if and when it happens.

A source told the New York Post: "Anna has been speaking to Mario about winning over Catherine. She is really pressing him to shoot Catherine for the cover. Every magazine has been trying to get Catherine, and many assume it will eventually be Vogue. But even with the Mario Testino relationship, it is not clear when this will happen. The palace must approve it, and they are very protective of Catherine."

Come on Palace, get on board - you know this will be amazing! 

Adele Covers British Vogue October

It's all about the UK magazine covers this morning isn't it? We genuinely couldn't be happier with this news: Adele is the cover girl for British Vogue's October issue; and she is looking mighty good! Adele has received worldwide recognition for that haunting, effortless and in our opinion, flawless voice of hers and her ability to pen some of the greatest songs of the last couple of years also hasn't gone unnoticed. We are delighted that the fashion world is slowly but surely recognising her too; let's face it, Vogue is a pretty good place to start - there's no turning back now!

Adele looks beautiful on the Vogue cover, shot by Sølve Sundsbø, as does she in one of the editorial images we got a sneaky peek at. We were, however, afraid that she would be heavily airbrushed, thus sparking the same kind of controversy as US Vogue back in 2009 when Adele was photographed for some editorial and airbrushed to look slimmer. Bad move, Anna. We can safely say that from what we see here before us, there's none of that going on, so Adele fans (of which the numbers are stratospheric) can breathe a sigh of relief. 

Katie Price Poses Pretty in UK Marie Claire October 2011

It's not often we write about Katie Price because, let's face it, this is a fashion blog after all and…pink velour tracksuits would probably make Anna Wintour cry. However, Marie Claire have made the decision to feature the model in their October issue, so they must have saw some potential in her. She does have a fashion collection (Day 22 apparently) after all, so maybe we should give her the benefit of the doubt. Besides, she looks quite nice in this picture!

We are very interested to see how Marie Claire will tackle their interview with Jordan; we wonder what she will have to talk about that differs from the usual OK interviews? Time will tell and we don't have long to go as Marie Claire hits the shelves on Thursday - hooray!

Ps- another reason for us posting this is the sneaky peek at the cover featuring Keira Knightley - looking good, isn't it? Can't wait to see it properly - watch this space!

Vogue Gets Vintage with Salvador Dali

How cute are these? Salvador Dali (legendary artist extraordinaire) has recreated a series of Vogue covers from the ages; his works of art range from the 30s to the 70s, each one eerie, slightly haunting but equally brilliant in its own way.

We have a few favourites, including this Christmas edition from 1946 - if you look closely, you can see that when you fold the magazine, you can make the shape of a face - pretty cool, right? Ok, so we are easily pleased today, but this isn't something you see everyday as far as Vogue is concerned. Fashion is a form of art after all and this is art in one of its finest forms - maybe Anna Wintour should look into it. 

Penelope Cruz covers Vogue June

As you may or may not know, the cover was leaked by a very excited Stefano Gabbana, who wanted to let the world know that Dolce and Gabbana had graced yet another front cover. Bless him. However, Miss Anna Wintour was none too pleased that the cover had leaked, so he took it down from his Tumblr and Twitter pages. We're glad to finally be able to post it now because it's a rather beautiful cover; it looks a tad nineties-esuqe in terms of layout and styling don't you think?

The beautiful Penelope Cruz was shot by Mario Testino (a fabulous combination if ever there was one) and is wearing, you guessed it, Dolce and Gabbana. And if you think it looks Vogue-ly familiar (see what we did there?!), that's because it's the same number worn by a certain Gisele on Emmanuelle Alt's first Vogue Paris cover.

Lara Stone in American Vogue April

Everyone's been obsessed with the US Vogue April cover; and why wouldn't they when Rihanna was their cover star for the first time?

But, as well as the beautiful and glossy Rihanna editorial (which is an excellent read by the way), is another editorial which really stood out to us. These pictures of Lara Stone are simply breathtaking, so we just had to share them! Mrs David Walliams was styled by Edward Enninful, and he had her sporting some of the season's hottest pieces and prints from  Louis Vuitton and Missoni amongst others. 

And of course, when Mario Testino is behind a shoot, it's a given that it's going to turn out great. (These are just a few of the images, check out American Vogue for the full selection)

Anna Wintour on the Wall Street Journal Magazine cover

So excited about this!

Wall Street Journal's lifestyle magazine WSJ is going to uncover just that little bit more of the enigma that is Anna Wintour. It looks like it's going to delve right into the mind of the fabulous Vogue Editor-in-Chief, where she will hopefully divulge information about her life as one of the most powerful women in the media. It looks like it's going to be more career-heavy as opposed to a huge personal piece, but when your career is Editor-in-Chief for the fashion bible of the world, there's hardly going to be a dull moment. 

The picture, shot by Mario Testino (naturally) is a huge tease but so appropriate for the nature of the article; we can't wait to read the actual thing. 

Coming soon: Carine Roitfeld's book

If you thought Carine Roitfeld hanging up her editor-in-chief boots at French Vogue was the last you'd see of her, you were very much mistaken. 

Miss Roitfeld has been a very busy bee since she resigned from French Vogue last year, and her highly anticipated book is just one of her up and coming projects. 

Her 400-page book, entitled Irreverent is thought to be very image-heavy; as you can imagine, all those years at Vogue should give you quite a substantial portfolio and backlog of images, one can only dream of what goes on behind closed doors. Hopefully the book, written by Roitfeld herself with some contributions from Cathy Horyn and Anna Wintour, will let us in on a few secrets of the trade.  

Irreverent is set to be released on 4 October (Amazon has already pre-ordered copies), so write it in your diaries, as we imagine it'll sell out pretty quickly.
