No 'Vogue' for Africa

African photographer Mario Epanya's proposition of an African edition of Vogue has been rejected by publishing house, Condé Nast.

Epanya, who created fictitional covers and editorials for his campaign, posted on his Facebook page: "DEAR ALL. The Wait is over. Condé Nast said NO to an African license of VOGUE. So this is the last cover. Enjoy, but it's a beginning of something."

African-American lifestyle site Madame Noirewrites: "Obviously, Vogue can still get away with a few editorials featuring Africans and African Americans sprinkled here and there. Although their "Black Issue" flew off the magazine racks in 2008, are you really surprised that Conde Nast rejected the idea?"

Some of those commenting on the story have called on Africans to boycott the other 18 international Vogue editions and opt for local magazines, such as Arise, instead.

Rough Edges another new trend!?

Yes and its all about rough edges on tailoring, cocktail and jeanswear....

Gisele, the Baby, and THAT Bod on the Cover of Vogue

Only six weeks after giving birth, Gisele opened the doors to her Boston home to Vogue's Contributing Editor Joan Juliet Buck to share intimate details about shedding the baby weight (“I did kung fu up until two weeks before Benjamin was born, and yoga three days a week. I think a lot of people get pregnant and decide they can turn into garbage disposals. I was mindful about what I ate, and I gained only 30 pounds.”); her new beauty line developed to empower troubled young girls around the world; and the birth of her baby boy, Benjamin Rein (“I wanted him to be called River because I wanted something always flowing, immortal. My husband [New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady] said, ‘There’s no way we’re going to call him River.’ But my father’s name is Reinoldo, so it’s a homage to him. And it’s like water.”)

And as if her life isn't already enviable enough, the uber-mannequin was required to frolic for the accompanying portfolio for photographer Patrick Demarchelier on the beaches of Costa Rica.
