From the introduction of branded web series to investments in ecommerce to Anna Wintour’s expanded new role, Condé Nast is making more moves than it has in years (maybe ever?). And it shows no signs of stopping.
Rather than going the iconic model route, Guess is looking for its next Guess Girl on the Internet. It’s probably much cheaper, for one.
On Sunday night, the stars came out in droves to hit up all the Oscars after-parties and to show off their fancy dresses. We were pleasantly surprised to see Britney Spears (newly brunette!) in the bunch, looking the best she’s looked in years.
WWD caught up with the singer at Elton John’s party, where she apparently said to the trade about her dress, “It’s Versace.” Which would be all well and good, except that, well… it wasn’t.
Both André Leon Talley and Vogue deny that he is leaving the magazine, as reported in Saturday’s New York Post.
Nearly a year after Tyra Banks gave him the America’s Next Top Model pink slip, J. Alexander–aka Miss J–is back in action with a brand new project: Shoes.

If you haven’t heard, yet another modeling competition show called The Face is about to make its debut and it has a few big names behind it: ANTM cast-off Nigel Barker, Coco Rocha, Karolina Kurkova, and Naomi Campbell. Campbell hopped on a conference call with me and some other journalists to chat about her new gig. Yes, I got to listen to Naomi Campbell talk on the phone for an hour. It was pretty unreal.
Are you ready for André Leon Talley to become a part of your late night talk show schedule?
Because one job is never enough in this industry, the Vogue contributing editor is currently in talks to develop his own late night talk show, WWD is reporting.
Last week, the CFDA announced it was partnering with Organic Avenue to provide models with support and education as well as a 50% discount on all the retailer’s food and juices during fashion week through March 31.

The program has already faced severe criticism from numerous mainstream media outlets. But, in our opinion, it’s for all the wrong reasons.
Some say the age of the personal style blogger is over.
Today, the girl needs more than an outfit, a boyfriend, and a camera. Bloggers need to think about production quality, editorial strategy, and affiliate programs to really gain a foothold on the web. They are more like editors, creating publications worthy of a million-person audience than a few thousand super-fans.
Yet it still comes down that camera. Nine times out of 10, the bloggers who move merchandise, who get people talking, who attract repeat advertisers, love to strike a pose.
So we say the personal style blogger isn’t going anywhere—-in fact, she’s more powerful than ever.
Nigel Barker, who was on America’s Next Top Model for 17 seasons (seventeen–think about that, people) returns to reality tv with Oxygen’s The Face on February 12.
The fashion industry might not be shying away from television exposure now, but according to Barker, that wasn’t always the case.
