-- Lady Gaga scored the highest number of monthly and bi-weekly magazines sold. Not surprisingly, the Rolling Stones cover with a nice view of her rear end sold 245,000 copies -- three times the magazine's 2010 average. Taylor Swift and Blake Lively were the worst-selling celebrities.

-- Elle magazine's parent company Lagardere is in talks with Hearst (Harper's Bazaar publisher) to sell all 40-plus foreign editions of the fashion glossy (sans the original French version) as soon as the end of the month. Lagardere claims it will keep full editorial control, despite whatever happens in the sale.

-- Kim Kardashian covers Glamour in pajamas, which she makes look incredibly sexy, despite what she says in her interview: "I don’t find myself as sexy as everyone thinks. I’m a lot more insecure than people would assume, but with little stupid things." This must explain why she constantly poses nude or in skin-tight outfits.

-- Androgynous model Andrej Pejic stars in the latest Marc by Marc Jacobs campaign, alongside Ginta Lapina. One can actually detect that he's most likely a guy in the photo.

Grace Coddington Autobiography in the Works

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Models, News,

Grace Coddington is to pen her fashion memoirs.

The Welsh-born fashion writer, who came to the attention of many thanks to her starring role in The September Issue alongside Anna Wintour, is to write a book with Men’s Vogue editor-in-chief Jay Fielden.

“We’re just starting, and I think it’s going to be a really fun project. I’m hoping it’s going to be very rich in fashion history.”

The book is expected to document her early life in Wales, as well as her careers at both British and American Vogue. The flame-haired former model is currently the creative director of American Vogue, and joined the magazine on the same day as Anna Wintour in 1988.

Her profile was raised by The September Issue, which explored her relationship with both Wintour and the other stylists and designers involved with the magazine. Grace began working for Vogue after her modeling career was cut short due to a car crash that led her to require plastic surgery.

Rimmel’s latest fresh face, Georgia May Jagger, was named Model of the Year at the British Fashion Awards last week.

The 17-year-old beauty - daughter of Jerry Hall and Sir Mick Jagger - beat Daisy Lowe and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley to claim the prize.

Kate Moss, Victoria Beckham, Vivienne Westwood and Claudia Schiffer were among the big names who attended the event at London’s Royal Courts of Justice. Model-turned-designer Kate picked up the publically-voted London 25 award for best dressed Londoner. Designer of the Year went to Christopher Bailey for Burberry, while John Galliano picked up the Outstanding Achievement in Fashion Design prize.

Victoria attended the event by herself, with her husband David staying with family after the funeral of his grandfather Joseph West earlier in the day. She wore a dress from her own collection, featuring the famous back zip that all of her clothes are famed for. Black seemed to be the color of choice on the red carpet, with stars including Myleene Klass, Twiggy, Erin O’Connor, Pixie Geldof and British Prime Minister’s wife Sarah Brown all opting for a dark creation.

Check out the full list of winners after the break.
