>> Fashion has always been a little incestuous: models become editors, editors become designers, models become photographers . . . and now, designers seem to be trying their hand as editorial stylists.  A spread appeared in New York Times' T Magazine last month, as styled by Marc Jacobs, and this month, the new biannual arts and culture journal Dossier features a spread styled by Zac Posen and photographed by Theo Wenner:

Dossier was founded by Skye Parrott, a fashion photographer and former managing editor of Self Service Magazine, along with writer and childhood friend Katherine Krause after they collaborated on a 2006 story for Lula Magazine and decided to embark on a publication without guidelines, only full of crazy, inspirational projects.

the roitfelds resurface

>>  I've been waiting for this moment, and now here it is: Carine Roitfeld and Julia Restoin-Roitfeld have finally popped up today at Cannes for the Che Premiere.  It looks like Carine has joined the Lanvin at Cannes train, but both ladies stuck to the Roitfeld way: black and belted.

>>  Does Kate Moss have an upcoming Vogue cover?  All signs point to yes: She was spotted last Tuesday wearing a Burberry trench and being photographed by Vogue favorite Mario Testino in East London, with Vogue creative director Grace Coddington in the background. Plus, it doesn't hurt that Kate was seen with Vogue contributing editor Plum Sykes later last week, and Plum's been known to write the cover stories.  Rumor is that she's on for August .

jon's the go-to man

>> Jonathan Saunders is having a busy month: He was announced as the new creative director of Pollini just last week, and now it's been revealed that as rumored, he's the next Target Go International designer.  I loved his work for Topshop, so hopefully his Target collection, which launches in early October, will also be a winner.
