Whit Fall 2013: Marianne Faithfull Meets Tim Burton

“We usually get very bright and graphic with our prints, but I was feeling a little moody this season, so we did this kind of romantic, late 60′s-early 70′s inspiration,” says Steven Alan alum (and Kate Spade niece) Whitney Pozgay of the starting point for her latest collection, which debuted to a packed house at the W Union Square this afternoon.

And boy did they take it to the next level in 2012. From elaborate sets with A-list celebs, to pared down shoots with models of the moment, the year produced some seriously inspiring Read more →

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

For thousands of east coasters without electricity or a method of transportation to get to work, now might be an ideal time to sit around and actually read magazines.

But if you still don’t feel like it, don’t live on the east coast, or can’t find anywhere to buy said magazines (and have electricity, a necessity for reading this here online article), don’t worry–we did it for you.

We’ve culled the most interesting features, hilarious quotes and important bits of news you might otherwise miss from the fashion glossies–many of which aren’t available online.

The National Magazine Awards Nominations Are Out: Vice Gets Its First Nom, Vogue Gets Snubbed

The American Society of Magazine Editors (ASME) has just announced the finalists for the 2012 National Magazine Awards, and among the usual suspects (The New Yorker and New York), there were a few surprises.

For one, Vice received it’s first ASME nom, for General Excellence no less, alongside The New Yorker, New York, Bloomberg Businessweek and GQ in the General-Interest Magazine category, which is kind of the equivalent for getting nominated for “Best Picture” at the Oscars. It’s certainly a feat for the magazine which started out as an underground publication that prided itself on being anything but mainstream. We’d like to think it’s all thanks to the mag’s fascinating exploration of canine bondage, or their coverage of London fashion week on acid, but you know, that could be just us.

Also of note is that only two fashion titles–Glamour and W–got nods for General Excellence. W received more ASME nominations than any other fashion mag in 2011, and 2012′s list confirms that EIC Stefano Tonchi is indeed on a roll–much to the chagrin of competitor Vogue, no doubt.

The 25 Best Fashion Editorials of 2011

It happens every year: Our ever-growing pile of fashion magazines inches higher with each passing month, and by the time December rolls around, we can barely sift through the hundreds of stylish images we bookmarked for inspiration. 2011 was no exception, and in a year that celebrated retro supermodels, androgyny, vivid colors, and plenty of experimentation in the beauty department, choosing our favorites was particularly difficult.

The best editorials of the year ran the gamut from huge ensemble casts of blue-chip models styled by greats like Katie Grand and Carine Roitfeld, to intimate, one-on-one portraits of our favorite girls like Lindsey Wixson and Daria Werbowy. The acid brights that dominated the spring collections allowed for some pretty trippy trend stories last season, but the fall glossies featured much moodier imagery, with a number of gorgeous spreads in black and white.

Here are the editorials from 2011 that will stay tacked up on our walls and fill our inspiration boards well into the new year—and beyond.

Stormy Weather: Our Favorite Tempestuous Editorials and Campaigns

Stormy Weather: Our Favorite Tempestuous Editorials and Campaigns

Storms, like the one that’s currently headed for New York and just cancelled my Montauk trip, can be scary and sometimes even dangerous, so everyone be careful this weekend! That being said, they can also make for intriguing backdrops and themes in fashion editorials and ad campaigns. You’d be hard-pressed to find an Annie Leibovitz-lensed photograph that takes place outdoors without some ominous-looking clouds. Somehow, they can make any subject look so much more captivating and dramatic.

So, on this rainy, gloomy day, we’ve decided to round up some of our favorite storm-inspired fashion photographs. Enjoy and please be safe!

Tilda Swinton Covers W, See Her Other Worldy 15-Page Editorial

This is one W cover we can get behind. W, like many glossies, has reported disappointing sales lately and while we’re not sure exactly what Tilda Swinton’s selling power is, we are always in support of her covering a magazine. Not to mention collaborating on a whole spread shot in Iceland with photographer Tim Walker. In “Planet Tilda,” up now on Wmagazine.com (along with a really cool video), the actress and Pringle of Scotland campaign star discusses how she got into fashion and her own style icons, which include David Bowie and her own father. She refers to the two of them as her “aesthetic North Stars,” and “the individuals with whom I share the same planetary DNA.” Read more here and check out the full spread below. It’s kind of insane.
