The September issues have hit the newsstands again. Today, just like last year, Wendy at Glossed Over is live blogging her — trademark sarcastic and tongue-in-cheek — take on the biggest Vogue issue of the year (902 pages this time). As I’m writing this she’s just past page 108.

The Business of Fashion recently published an interview with Eva Chen, the new editor-in-chief of Lucky Magazine. She chats about her vision and plans for the mag, and how she started out in fashion.
