Cond? Nast is ready to follow the September launch of the Indian edition of Vogue with other upmarket titles as the global fashion and luxury retail industry looks to cash in on the country’s growing affluence.

The publisher is seeking or has obtained regulatory approval for magazines such as Glamour, GQ, Cond? Nast Traveller, Vanity Fair and niche publications such as Wired, the technology-focused magazine.

“We’d like to get the Vogue launch right first and soon after that start kicking off some of these other launches,” said Alex Kuruvilla, managing director of Cond? Nast India.

min's Exclusive Review Of Women's Beauty/Fashion "Fall Preview" Ad Pages: Will We Ever Again See A 727 Ad-Page "Vogue" Or A 477 Ad-Page "W"?
http://www.minonline.com/min/

September 2007 is a month for the fashion-advertising ages with records smashed at Vogue/W/Elle (398 ad pages) and Harper's Bazaar (360). Ten-year September chart is below (2007 ad pages are estimates):

Welcome to Fall 2007, where Ford the modeling agency is as important as Ford the car. Where the Euro reigns supreme over the dollar. Where Juicy means couture more than a type of chewing gum. Where fashion, not grunge, Rocks, as proved by Cond? Nast's growing four-year program. Where Fashion Week in New York is as "American" as Speed Week in Daytona. And where beauty and fashion are skin deep and magazine humongous.

When we began min's "Fall Preview" review on July 12, 1993, the fashion-advertising "universe" was mostly confined to Elle/Harper's Bazaar/Vogue (W was then changing from trade to consumer), and combined, their September issues carried 949 ad pages. Fourteen Septembers later, the sum is 1,485, and with W's 477 (all record-breaking), the total is 1,962.

EMAPPING OUT A PLAN: Private equity firm Apax has been eyeballing some of Emap's hottest property as the British media giant launches a "strategic review" of its businesses, which include Grazia, FHM and fashion Web site WGSN. Although an Apax spokesman in London declined all comment, industry sources say talks between Apax and Emap are at a very early stage, and that Apax would be most interested in Emap's B2B division, which includes WGSN and Retail Week. The price being talked about for the B2B division is 1.3 billion pounds, or $2.63 billion at current exchange. An Emap spokesman declined to comment on any approaches from Apax or other interested parties. An Emap statement said the company was exploring "all options to maximize shareholder value, including a possible sale or demerger of some or all of its constituent businesses." Emap has retained Citi and Lazard to assist on the review.

CLOSET WANDERER: Cond? Nast Traveler isn't the first place fashion fans usually turn to to see clothes other than bikinis and sarongs, but style director Mark Connolly believes travel influences most designers. "I see a collection come down the runway and immediately make the connection — whether it's Asia or Africa." To prove the point (and perhaps get more of those all-important ad dollars), the magazine celebrates the Little Black Dress in an 10-page photo feature in its September issue, where designs from Zac Posen, Rodarte, Alberta Ferretti, Christian Dior and Giles Deacon are photographed in Moscow, Paris, London, Barcelona and Rome. "From the moment I saw the Dior dress on the runway I knew I had to shoot it in Barcelona," while the Zac Posen dress "perfectly mirrors the architecture of the Eiffel Tower," said Connolly. The only "models" that appear in the shoot are the palace guards in the London spread; the dresses are photographed without humans, and the Barcelona bullfighters and Russian ballerinas are professionals. The September issue marks Cond? Nast Traveler's 20th anniversary, and could rival corporate cousin Vogue in postage costs. It carries 287 ad pages, its most ever.

HEALTHY INCREASE: Women's Health will raise its rate base to 1.1 million from 850,000 effective with the January/February 2008 issue. The female counterpart to Rodale's Men's Health — which carries a 1.75 million rate base — is boosting its circulation for the fourth time since its launch two years ago. Women's Health has more than doubled its circulation since 2005, and is becoming a sizeable competitor to Shape (1.65 million), Fitness (1.5 million) and Self (1.4 million). The magazine's circulation for the first half of the year grew 52 percent over the same period last year, to nearly one million.

LET'S MAKE A DEAL: Automotive advertising is the one sector suffering for all magazines these days given the travails of Detroit, but Hearst Magazines has bucked the trend — at least temporarily — with a multimillion dollar ad deal with Infiniti. The luxury car company has agreed to shell out "more than $5 million but less than $10 million," according to a source, which includes an exclusive event and exhibit at the "Super Bowl of classic car shows," otherwise known as the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, which takes place Aug. 15 to 19. But the event partnership isn't applicable to all Hearst titles. Infiniti deemed only Esquire, Harper's Bazaar, Town & Country, SmartMoney and O, The Oprah Magazine as "the right fit" for the Infiniti Gallery of Design, which will begin the first day of the car show. The gallery will showcase two Infiniti vehicles, along with eight surrounding displays from companies such as Shu Uemura and Irene Neuwirth, said Jeff Hamill, Hearst's senior vice president of advertising sales and marketing. The event is part of a yearlong ad buy from Infiniti across all Hearst titles, said a company spokeswoman, although a four-page wrap-up ad section will turn up only in the December issues of the aforementioned magazines.

SUNDAY CONFESSION: The Sunday Times of London has printed an apology for a story that ran July 1 claiming that Stacy Ann Ferguson — aka Fergie — was being paid by Candie's Inc. to name-check the brand in her song lyrics. "Although Fergie has a commercial deal with Candie's in which she appears in advertisements for its clothing, this does not include the incorporation of the Candie's brand into her lyrics. We apologize for the error," the paper said Sunday. The apology follows a July 12 story in WWD in which Fergie denied she was being paid to name-check the brand, and added that her lawyers would be taking legal action. "It's completely false. I don't know where they got it from," she said. At the time, a spokeswoman at Iconix Brand Group Inc., Candie's parent company, also denied the report in the Sunday Times.
