Magazine editors-in-chief are becoming pop culture fascinations. Vogue's Anna Wintour gave us a glimpse into her high-fashion life last summer in the acclaimed documentary 'The September Issue.' And now, Jones magazine editor-in-chief and founder, Tracey Ferguson, is the latest industry glamour girl to hit the screen. Ferguson is the star of reality show 'Keeping Up With the Joneses,' airing Thursdays at 8PM EST starting April 8th on Centric, BET's newest network.
Viewers will get a rare look at all the drama that goes into publishing each issue of Jones – and Ferguson's quest to take her Houston-based magazine national. Under Ferguson's leadership, Jones has flourished from a wishful concept that was bantered about during a monthly book club meeting, into a vibrant, influential and beguiling quarterly publication that serves as an authority on the very best in fashion, beauty, hair, parties and travel.
Always dressed to impress, Ferguson shared with us her top fashion trends for spring 2010.
Below, find out what's on her stylish radar as she determines outfits for the many events she has coming up, including the press tour of her reality show, launch parties for Jones' inaugural national issue and the re-launch of Jonesmag.com.

This magazine shut down early last year and along with the shutdown took subscriber's money with them. Please ask her to refurd everyone's money since she wants to be a big reality star.

WHO??? WHAT???
Never heard of her or this magazine and now ANOTHER reality show? what has Television become? Do the powers-that-be- just leave the building and stand on the sidewalk and wait for people?
The fashions shown above are merely a regurgitation of what has been out in public view for public consumption since fashion week 09. Remember (high) fashion is previewed a season in advance. ARGH!!!!

I read that her ex-husband is El DeBarge. Didn't know that she was a magazine publisher.

Print? Not excited. I just don't get people still trying to get into the print publishing world. Online magazines like Clutch Mag Online (heard they are launching another site just for fashion too) and blogs like The Fashion Bomb are what most people are checking for. Updated daily and weekly issues, print is just too late. What about an iPad magazine format that would excited me.
This show and magazine just once again shows how old people don't get new media.
