Carine Roitfeld's CR Fashion Book Sold Out, Second Issue Launching in February
In our digital era where print is considered by many a dying industry, Carine Roitfeld proves the world wrong.
The French editor's highly anticipated first issue of CR Fashion Book, which hit newsstands back in September, has totally sold out.
According to Women's Wear Daily, 50,000 copies of the Kate Upton-covered inaugural issue were printed at $15 each, costing an easy $750,000 in total.
The magazine's publisher, Fashion Media Group LLC, ordered another 15,000 copies to keep up with the high demand for the high fashion glossy, reported WWD.
Just as the first issue hit during New York Fashion Week Spring 2013 this past September, the second issue follows the same fashion calendar, hitting during New York Fashion Week Fall 2013 this February.
After the NYC launch, the mag will be distributed worldwide on February 21st, with a total of 65,000 copies set to print.
