Jane Shepherdson to set up fashion fund
The rumour is that she left Sir Philip Green's Topshop last October angry that she was no consulted on the hiring of Kate Moss to design a collection. Be that as it may, a lot of speculation has surrounded just what Jane Shepherdson, the former brand director of Topshop, would do next.
Today it seems we know.
The Bible of Fashion, Beauty, and more
You may not have heard of LE BOOK, but you should have. It's a book/site, that displays the work of the most revered photographers, designers, and illustrators of our time. LE BOOK serves not only as reference but also as a time capsule of the years most noteworthy images.
LE BOOK has existed for 25 years in Paris, 10 year in New York, and 5 years in London. It was created in 1982 by Veronique Kolasa and started as a local source in the Parisian market for all photographers and fashion-related professionals.

The New Penthouse Magazine
Penthouse Magazine. Not really an expected topic for our blog, is it? But let us explain.
Several years ago a lot of men's magazines changed tack - it seems that men really had read Playboy solely for the articles, as they turned away in droves to read the likes of GQ and Maxim. Clearly, the centrefolds weren't doing it for them.
So finally, and perhaps better late than never, Penthouse Magazine has followed suit, the fruition of which you'll see (or not) in the US March issue. How did they achieve the change? By turning to their competition and poaching Mark Healy from the men's fashion bible that is GQ.
As more and more old school brands try to reinvent themselves as lifestyle options, we're going to see a lot of them turning to the fashion magazines we ourselves have turned to for years on end.

Because when we say Armani sale, we mean the entire company.
