Must Read: Kylie Jenner, Bella Hadid and Lottie Moss Star in 'Vogue' editorial, How Beauty Industries Are Shifting Away from Traditional Advertising:

These are the stories making headlines in fashion this Tuesday.

Kylie Jenner, Bella Hadid and Lottie Moss star in Vogue editorial

For its latest "Steal of the Month" story, Vogue has tapped not one, not two, but three supermodel siblings — two of whom are actually on their way to supermodel status themselves. Take a look at Kylie Jenner, Bella Hadid and Lottie Moss living, laughing, and loving while wearing pretty floral frocks in the Gordon von Steiner-lensed spread, and as a bonus, watch them play a rousing game of "Shag, Marry, Kill." {Vogue}

How the beauty industry is shifting towards word-of-mouth and digital campaignsIncreasingly, beauty companies are starting to look towards non-traditional methods — namely digital and social media — to sell. Estée Lauder's global net expenses for advertising, merchandising, sampling, promotion and production development in 2015 decreased nearly 3 percent from the year before; L'Oreal's spending on advertising in 2014 went down two percent from 2013; and Procter & Gamble slashed its traditional media and online display budget by 14 percent in 2014. As Chris Haines of e-commerce consultancy Fluid put it, "Advertising is one to many, whereas social media is one to one." {Business of Fashion}
