Not long after the divorce initiations were publicized, news of Katie Holmes’ fashion ventures came to Twitter light. British Vogue tweeted, “Katie Holmes is taking her @HolmesandYang label to New York Fashion Week this September.” Styleite adds, “More big things for Katie Holmes: a New York Fashion Week show AND an Elle cover.” Elle magazine tweeted an image of their latest cover girl, “Our August cover girl is #KatieHolmes—like you’ve never seen before.” While The Fashion Spot mused, “How lucky is @ELLEmagazine that their Katie Holmes cover is out on the brink of the divorce announcement? Issue must be flying off shelves.” The bigger question remains, when will Suri, the most fashionable of the now defunct trio, make her fashion debut?
