Lindsey Wixson  and Daphne Groeneveld  star in the outpouring New York City infatuation that is this spread in W Magazine. The editorial, entitled “Scene on the Street,” was photographed by Alasdair McLellan and styled by Edward Enninful.

The shoot has a little of everything, with styles inspired by the 20′s right up to the 2000′s. Check them out for yourself below:

Hope consumers melt just as much–because there’s some bad news for Stefano Tonchi and the folks at W. So sayeth WWD, “W’s September issue, under editor in chief Stefano Tonchi, was down 14 percent to 30,000 single copies.”

Ouch. It remains to be seen whether or not Kim Kardashian‘s very nude November cover raised revenue, but so far…the reinvention ain’t working. Fingers crossed that the magazine-buying public loves adorable babies as much as we do.

Katherine Heigl poses with her gorgeous adopted baby daughter Naleigh for the cover of W magazine's The Family Issue. Katherine says she adopted Naleigh, who was born in Korea with congenital heart problem that was corrected through surgery, just "three or four days" before she starting filming Life As We Know It. "I was about to play a woman who inherits a baby, and I was experiencing the exact same thing," she said. Inside the magazine she also poses with more of her family, including mum Nancy and sister Meg. "My sister is Korean," Katherine said. "I hope one day she and Naleigh will be able to talk about what it's like to be adopted."

Walter Albini may be the most under-appreciated fashion revolutionary of our time, but fashion journalist (and newly appointed Editor-In-Chief of W) Stefano Tonchi is likely to change that with a book  launching  in September devoted to this flamboyant iconoclast’s life and work. On the front-lines of the fashion revolution in the 60s, Albini broke with the atelier tradition in Italy and designed modern ready-to-wear for women and men. Keep reading…

In this meticulously researched book, W Magazine editor-in-chief Stefano Tonchi and fashion curator Maria Luisa Frisa detail Albini’s influence as a designer, and give him the due that perhaps eluded him in his day. You should really pick up this book when it drops because it looks like it is going to be a good one.

Photographer Craig McDean featured girls of the moment for this month’s W, in a 30-page spread including Karlie Kloss, Amanda Laine, Sigrid Agren, Imogen Morris-Clarke,Dorothea Barth Jorgensen, Viktoriya Sasonkina, Nimue Smit and many more.  Argen graced the pages of W in bright Michael Kors, while the rest of the frizzed and feather-haired girls add in a full force glam squad.

I almost didn’t recognize Lara Stone and Eniko Mihalik in this super-Springy editorial in the April 2009 issue of W Magazine.

Stylist Camilla Nickerson mixed Mother Nature with looks from Chanel, Etro, Calvin Klein, and more: the models seem eerily and awesomely static and prop-like under bouquets, vines, leaves, and other vegetation.

Haha….OK so it’s not a fashion magazine.  Or even an entertainment magazine.  But I know there are Brad Pitt fans out there, and this was just too good to ignore.

I would love to see how the sales of the January issue of Architectural Digest compare to Brad’s February issue of W.

Some major glossies are reporting serious declines in their newstand sales including Conde Nast’s W and Teen Vogue. Apparently, readers are skipping the tree killing medium for a little something called the Internet (a.k.a FashionIndie.com).

LINKAGE: Early Look At Numbers

The rumors of Blake Lively’s W cover are true.

The blondest of the Gossip Girl clan, Blake dishes on her early decision to go into acting, her fathers recent car crash, and her plans to play a bulemic Texan in an upcoming indie.

All in the all, it’s one of the most boring interviews I’ve wasted time on reading, so skip it and just check out the photos below.

Thanks to W for giving us less than impressive shots of a starlet we’re dying to see doing more than pushing out her nearly non existent cleavage.

Vogue and W, forty. Harper’s Bazaar, love. 

Thanks Popcrunch!

So wish I was invited. Behind the scenes of Bruce Webbers shots for W magazine.
