A 10-page fashion shoot starring Anna Wintour? All is not what it first appears in the August issue of Paris Vogue, just hitting newsstands in France. A well feature on Wintour's style, titled "Icon" and shot by Mario Testino, features model Snejana Onopka in sunglasses, bobbed hair and a range of fur-drenched looks. Eye-popping too are six self-portraits elsewhere in the issue by artist Cindy Sherman modeling looks from Balenciaga's globe-trotting fall-winter collection, resembling a gamine one minute, a glamour goddess the next. It's her first such collaboration in more than a decade. Nicholas Ghesquiere was to host a dinner for Sherman Thursday night at the Carlyle in New York to fete the pictures. Also expected were Jennifer Connelly, Paul Bettany, Aerin Lauder and Carine Roitfeld, among others. The August issue also features a 12-page black-and-white fashion shoot by former Dior Homme designer Hedi Slimane.

THE Forbes family is putting its historic headquarters on Fifth Avenue in Greenwich Village on the block.

The 145,000-square-foot building, which contains a museum, library and art gallery, could fetch somewhere in the $140 million range.

The move comes just about a year after the family sold a minority stake in Forbes Inc. to Elevation Partners, an investment group that includes U2 frontman Bono and Roger McNamee.

Topless Eva Mendes is So Jane

Have you heard? Jane’s folding. Which is extremely sad for everyone (except Jane’s original EIC, Jane Pratt, who’s rather pleased). And what better way to go out with a bang than by having the Eva Mendes pose topless for the last ever Jane cover, and a pregnant Milla Jovovich show off her giant belly only months before she (promptly) loses all the baby weight with the assistance of an extremely expensive personal trainer?

Eva Mendes, Kate Mara, Joss Stone and pregnant Milla Jovovich are among the stars baring all for a provocative new Jane magazine shoot. /p>

Actress Mendes, who appears topless on thee cover, covering her breasts with pink flowers, admits she was honoured to be asked to appear in what will be Jane’s final issue.
