According to a new report in WWD, Vogue was the only magazine to show an increase in sales in the first half of 2011, and it's largely because of one cover in particular: Lady Gaga, who appeared on the magazine's March issue.
While sales for all other fashion magazines were down during that period (excepting Allure, which was flat), according to the report, the March 2011 issue was up in sales by 100,000 copies over the March 2010 issue. Other stand-outs were Kim Kardashian's February cover for Glamour and Katy Perry's cover for Elle. Among those covers that didn't fare so well on the newsstand: January Jones for W, Julianna Marguiles for Harper's Bazaar, Kate Winslet for Glamour, and Marie Claire's dual cover stars of Bradley Cooper and Abbie Cornish.
