The September issue of US Vogue will set a record as the largest monthly magazine ever published and is so thick that Vogue had to take over an entire printing plant and push all other magazines out. “With a 620 ad pages alone, the issue will be fun to throw at obnoxious boyfriends, but too heavy to bring to the Soho House pool.” Gawker

The new Prada store (called an epicenter) has opened in Beverly Hills. Designed with Rem Koolhaas it is the largest store on Rodeo Drive.There are several trompe l’oeils, half-dozen large blond wooden settees placed throughout topped with what looks like frosted glass blocks. But touch or sit on one of the blocks and a gel-like substance squishes like a gummy bear. The gel’s density is akin to human flesh.(yuk!) In dressing rooms, a customer can step on a metal pedal on the floor marked Privacy to turn clear glass enclosures opaque. And then there is the so-called magic mirror, which is actually a camera set up in the back of a dressing room recording 360-degree turns, so the consumer knows exactly what he or she looks like in the merchandise. No skinny mirror here.WWD
