PS DEPT, a new application for the iPhone, now does the shopping for you.

PS DEPT, short for personal shopper department, creates a new type of retail experience that intertwines the mobile platform with personal touches of client relationships.  The app for the iPhone, designed by Michelle Goad, is simple and straightforward to use.  The user messages what they are looking for which can include an image of what they are looking to find, and is sent through the app.  The message arrives to available associates at different stores in New York City and once they have received your request they go through the inventory in the store and share photos of pieces they have found for you.

Elana Zajdman, writer for Vogue, tested the app out and was pleasantly surprised by how well the app worked since it was just released this past weekend.  She tested out two different styles she wanted to try, lace up booties and prints.  After messaging photos of both trends she wanted to try, she was almost immediately responded back to by several different sales associates from around New York City. There are different icons to choose from once you are sent the photos from the stores including the “try” icon, which you can then set up a appointment to come in and experience the clothes, and the “buy” icon which you can then purchase the items over the phone.  Zajdman ended up being sold on the app after a day of use and it seems that many will follow with the same feeling.

Video: Lady Gaga x VOGUE

 

[dropcap]V[/dropcap]ogue’s September cover featuring Lady Gaga has been making headlines all week, and now we have behind the scenes video of the shoot. Styled by Grace Coddington and photographed by MERT & MARCUS while wearing a Marc Jacob’s dress, the whole shoot is Vogue at its finest.

The minute and a half clip takes you from the beginning to end of the shoot, and of course with Lady Gaga as the star, it’s completely entertaining. From her dramatic facial expressions to the oversized hair and fluffy Marc Jacobs hats, it suits her glamorous persona perfectly. Plus, the background tune of her own song ‘Hair’ is a pretty good match too.

Lindsey Wixson For Vogue UK

[dropcap]B[/dropcap]y the time she was 18, Lindsey Wixson’s striking face had already fronted campaigns for a large numbers of  high fashion brands.  In an editorial for Vogue UK she looks more radiant and natural than ever.  Shot by Terry Richardson, the New York-inspired spread shows some of the upcoming trends for Autumn: houndstooth, lumberjack plaids and tweed, styled with a country manor feel. Love her eye-catching big smile, which managed to boost my less-than-thrilled Monday mood. Definitely wanted to share this with you!

Vogue’s 2012 September Issue Will Be Its Largest Ever

According to a spokesperson, this September’s Lady Gaga-covered Vogue will have 658 ad pages, which marks a nearly 14% growth from last year–that’s double digit growth on top of double digit growth for the last two years. Teen Vogue‘s September issue will be its largest issue ever (the previous record was held by September’s 2006 Mischa Barton-covered issue, which rang in at 370 pages). Guess those rumors about Condé Nast’s ad pages being down were off the mark… for the most part.

Lady Gaga's March 2011 Vogue cover

Glamour is reporting ad pages are off by 35, which it accounts to the loss of the food/pharma ad category. The mag is up 10% in luxury business and is up in ad pages for October and November.

To mark Vogue’s record-breaking September issue, the mag is launching a Facebook contest on its page on Friday, asking readers to guess the page count. 100 readers who guess closest to the actual number, to be revealed on Saturday, will win Vogue’s new Editor’s Eyebook (not due out until September) autographed by Vogue editors.

[dropcap]D[/dropcap]eclared by Vogue as “New York’s Colette,” the new luxury townhouse boutique on East 69th and Madison, Fivestory New York, finally opened on April 19th down the block from Central Park. The much anticipated clothing, accessories, and concept store earned its namesake by taking up retail space on multiple floors of the Upper Eastside brownstone.

After a four month temporary preview floor brought praise and ready and waiting wallets, the owner and former gallery curator Claire Distenfeld, 26, revealed her finished art deco dream boutique.

Designed by Ryan Korban, the same interior decorator who created the Alexander Wang SoHo store display, Fivestory shoppers can expect a classic yet avant-garde interior vibe. Ornate furnishings, marble floors, black and white bondage photography and colorful walls are merely the backdrop for Distenfeld’s richly curated concept pieces and designers from around the world.

The women’s clothing and accessories will include brands as new as Timo Weiland, Victoria Beckham and Cushnie et Ochs to established favorites Roberta Furlanetto and Carven. In between quirky Che Guevara ashtrays and Rolling Stones logo slippers are an edited selection of Van Cleef and Arpels jewels and Cartier Love bracelets.
