Kimball Hastings for Ralph Lauren!

Kimball Hastings in Paper Magazine We hear the official Style Blogger, Teen Vogue’s Kimball Hastings, is leaving his fabulous post.


The dapper (and very smart) Mr. Kimball will soon help Ralph Lauren with public relations, specifically the part where young, hip starlets are wrangled into Ralph’s older classic silhouettes.

“They need it,” said our source, “Because the brand has a lot of resources but maybe not that much of a cool factor anymore.”

We bet Kimball will be perfect at that - in his tenure at Teen Vogue, he convinced Camilla Belle into a Givenchy gown for the Met Ball, and Taylor Momsen into a Peter Som dress for Cannes. We expect to see his famous friends like Mischa Barton and Michelle Trachtenberg in some serious R.L. outfits, plus a name-drop in Gossip Girl that outshines the Erikson Beamon plug.

Ok, like....I don't really care about Kimball Hastings or Teen Vogue OR Ralph Lauren.

I just wanted to say, I love the wallpaper with the lavander trees in that picture of him. How gently surreal.

Just a correction...Camilla Belle wore Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture to the Met Ball, not Givenchy...It was amazing!!!! I wonder who the first R.L. girl will be?!!

Knew "Kimball" as a child..most of this is true.as far as being in the TAG program but he did not spend summers in France in his teen years and most of the restof this is embellished beyond belief..he was a meek & gentle boy with not many friends..took French in high school..was not fluent...don'tknowwhopostd that but I can't imagine why you would make up such a story..he was from a small farm town..had a good average in school and was a good kid..simple as that..and that's the truth!!
