We Read the November Fashion Magazines So You Don’t Have To



Vogue

• Hamish Bowles writes about letting go of the contents of an old Paris apartment and putting them up for auction. They include “a 3,000 piece strong repository of haute couture and fashion history,” authentic Louis XV furniture, Sir Oswald Birley’s portrait of Barbara Hutton, Victorian chairs, a portrait of Edie Sedgwick by Andy Warhol, and much more.

• Elisabeth TNT’s diary was surprisingly normal–she went to a wedding (albeit one attended by Margherita Missoni and Bianca Brandolini D’Adda and to which she wore Giambattista Valli couture jewelry), and New York Fashion Week, where she went to some of the same parties we did.

• Vanessa Traina’s wedding to Max Snow is featured. You can see the full story here.

Vogue‘s Best Dressed issue will hit newsstands November 13. Emma Stone, Kristen Stewart, Lady Gaga, Azealia Banks, Michelle Obama, and Solange Knowles will be featured.

• Speaking of Oscar de la Renta’s role in politics, the William J. Clinton Presidential Library & Museum in Little Rock, Arkansas is staging an exhibition of his most iconic designs, curated by Andre Leon Talley. De la Renta has dressed Hillary many times; though during this election it the republican candidate’s wife who can seem to get enough of his designs. Of course, he also dressed Laura Bush and the exhibition might travel to the George W. Bush Library in Texas and the Reagan Library in California. The designer recalls giving Clinton some advice: “I said, ‘Hillary, a lot of women make this mistake, they think they are best in black. But when people see you in black they think, What a tough lady. I would dress you in pale blue and pale pink and they will think, What a sweet lady!’”

• Delfina Delletrez has embarked on a collaboration with Yoox.com which was inspired by insects she encountered growing up in Rome and Rio, as well as her daughter’s Legos.

• Charlotte Olympia has embarked on a collaboration as well, with Agent Provocateur, on two pairs of boudoir-inspired pumps. She tells Vogue, “I probably own more lingerie than shoes!”

• There’s a feature on a political influence of Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers, who must be Anna Wintour’s favorite comedians. She appeared on Fallon with Marc Jacobs back in 2010 to promote FNO and Meyers hosted this year’s CFDA awards. Read it here.

• Karlie Kloss stars in an editorial with David Neville (one half of Rag & Bone)’s two kids–a boy, Dashel, and a girl, Gray. They are really cute. See it here.
