What do Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears have to do with Fashion and the Big Celebrity Boom?

Edited by Benjamin Kanarek

From Benjamin Kanarek Blog

Celebrities and Fashion have always been synonymous. However, today more than ever, fashion magazines are featuring more celebrities than immigrants trying to get into the USA for their Green Card. In many cases these highly regarded magazines are using celebrities more often than Super Models for their covers. There are many reasons for this and in my opinion some of those decisions have more to do with the Politics of Fashion than the notoriety of the Celebrity.

Carine Roitfeld’s Second To Last Vogue Paris Cover

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

Carine Roitfeld will be officially replaced by Emmanuelle Alt on February 1st, but we’ve got two more Roitfeld-ified French Vogue issues before we see how Alt will handle her Editorship. Front covering her second to last issue, perhaps to little surprise, is Lara Stone. We’ve seen many a Stoned page throughout Carine’s tenure, and here she stuns with gap toothed lush lipped wonder. In the hues of the impending season, nacarat peach and dusty violet, she emanates cool off the bursting floral horizon. Let’s take our time and enjoy this gorgeous issue, but really, how do you think her last cover will look?
