For the past few weeks I have been stalking my newsagent to see whether the autumn/winter 2012 issue of ELLE Collections had been released and now I am pleased to confirm that the issue has finally hit newsstands.

Today, just about every magazine has a runway magazine but sadly, very few offer anything that extends beyond simply providing a round-up of images from the big shows (hello, Style.com). As Joe Zee said at the IFBCon a while ago, the onslaught of the digital space has meant that editors have been forced to do just that, edit and Avril Mair, the magazine's editor, has mastered this.

While the magazine always features images of the top 10 shows, it also features street style photography from Tommy Ton, fun numbers round-ups and invite images along with a string of great stories. The main story in the latest issue centres around the appointment of Hedi Slimane at Yves Saint Laurent and Raf Simons at Christian Dior. In the piece, writer Holly Shackleton weighs in on how both appointments will impact the way we all dress in future and asked five industry heavyweights what they think we can expect from their highly anticipated shows this September.

Last week it was announced that Ben Reardon has stepped down as editor of i-D and is now heading up GQ Style. Taschen have since not wasted any time and have announced the magazine's deputy edior, Holly Shackleton, will take the top spot.

Reardon left the magazine with a successful September issue with three great covers - Kate Moss, Lady Gaga and Naomi Campbell - all shot by Steven Klein. "I'm excited to further develop i-D's position at the forefront of the style press," Shackleton told WWD.
