Fashion Editors Are the New Movie Stars?

WhoWhatWearDaily keeps us covered on the celebrity fashion front, and they do a great job pulling the paparazzi princesses.

So, it's sort of no surprise to spot Mischa Barton, Kate Bosworth or Jessica Alba in their daily posts.

But what about a Vogue editor?

Meredith Melling Burke makes a somewhat unexpected appearance as one of the chosen fashionable 'celebs,' since she's not a movie star, she's the fashion market director at the magazine.

It's not that she isn't stylish enough to make the ranks, it's just funny to see her next to girls who are more famous for their boyfriends, their drugs, or their sunglasses than any real work.

Where's the justification?

The site's founders - Hilary Kerr and Katherine Power - previously worked as ELLE magazine editors, so we can understand why they might classify 'editor' as 'celebrity.' We certainly do.

But here's what we're wondering - why not choose from ELLE's stylish masthead?

I think Meredith looks great in her wide leg denim soooo why not include her in yesterday's WWWD entry? Yeah, I was a little shocked to see her on there yesterday. But does it REALLY matter WHO she is? Just as long as shes somewhat well known and sports the denim in a great way, who cares?

Maybe it's because there's no one at ELLE anymore, since pretty much everyone has left in the past few weeks?

I was just thinking that myself. "Well, shit, the most stylist one (Dupre) has left the building, so ..."

Not that Nina G. and Roberta M. aren't fab, because I love their style, but ... The rest of the masthead is a little shaky, and Isabel was the only one that actually dripped style.

Stylish. Not stylist.

(I've been up almost 30 hours now ...)
