• Vogue Paris announced via twitter that they will be publishing in English. No word on if the magazine will publish exclusively in English, (a move I doubt the French will stand for).(TFS)
• Speaking of Paris Vogue, WWD has the deets on Carine Roitfeld‘s new magazine, which will be called C.R. The former Vogue Paris editor quipped, “The name’s not a big surprise, but oh well.” The magazine will be published twice a year, and is expected to sell at $9.95 with about 100 pages of advertising. Roitfeld says C.R. will be a “celebration of fashion and creativity,” with every issue being built around a theme like music or film, or one of her “obsessions.” The magazine will be in English, but Roitfeld also plans to publish articles written by non-english speakers in the native tongue of the writer, with a translation towards the end of each issue. C.R. is expected to hit newsstands this September. (WWD)
• Topshop boss Sir Philip Green has tapped the design talents of his daughter to create a shoe line for the high-street retailer. The eponymous label, Chloe Jade Green, will be available for purchase May 17th. The shoes will sell from $125 to $315, and boast a jade green sole. (Fashion Etc)
• Thakoon has teamed up with Nars for a limited-edition nail polish collection. The six-shade range is inspired by the colors seen at the Indian spice market, and will retail for $18. Find them in stores May 1st. Think you’ll be picking up any of these shades? (Fashion Etc)
• This weekend, Heidi Klum officially filed for divorce from Seal, her husband of seven years. Sad news indeed. (The Cut)
• If you (or some little girl you know) is really into Hunger Games, you can now purchase this Katniss Everdeen Barbie doll from Mattel. The doll is styled in Everdeen’s signature side ponytail, with bows and arrows in tow. The doll is available for pre-order, and will be in stores everywhere in August. (EW)

Brilliant move for French Vogue. Those NARS colors are beautiful. And sad indeed about Heidi and Seal.

Love the Nars colours. I will be getting the yellow and the blues.

CR magazine sound like it will be interesting. Those jade green soles look divine, but I wonder if a lawsuit will uproot because I think a designer uses a similar sole color, but with an alligator print. The shoes are muy muy expensive, I forgot the woman’s name. Those Nars colors are the bomb.com, but I can’t do nail polish for $18.

@Dee: I agree. I am much more interested in French Vogue than any other Vogue, including American.

So excited for the Nars colors May 1st can’t come fast enough! Vogue Paris is so much better than our version can’t wait for it to print in English. And the jade green sole sounds amazing but I’m sure there will be some controversy over it… I’m so sick of Christian Louboutin and the whole red bottom fad. It was cool at first but now it’s just overrated.
