Fashionista Turns Five! Fashionista’s Second Editor, Natalie Hormilla, Takes a Look Back

Believe it or not, Fashionista turns five years old this month. Which is, you know, pretty old in blog years. To celebrate our big bday, we’ve asked all of Fashionista’s former editors (in chronological order that’s Faran Krentcil, Natalie Hormilla, Abby Gardner, Britt Aboutaleb, and Lauren Sherman) to reflect back on their time at Fashionista from the highs (seeing a Chanel show) to the lows (being chewed out by Arianne Phillips for leaking her fashion week plans and costing her a client).

Last week, Fashionista’s founding editor, Faran Krentcil, hilariously and poignantly recalled her first year at the helm. Next up we have her successor, Natalie Hormilla, who has since quit fashion, and moved to West Glover, Vermont, where she lives with her husband Nate, grows vegetables and writes for the local newspaper.

Quote of the Day

“So to stir up crowds for the opening, Mr. Green dispatched promoters around the city, offering Topshop totes and gift cards redeemable for up to $500 to anyone who looked vaguely cool. Thus the crowd at the store smacked of hipster central casting: men wearing skinny jeans and asymmetric haircuts, and wayward Gossip Girl types Read more →

The Date is Set, But Where’s Pat?

The rumors have finally been replaced with an actual date: On May 28, 2010, Sex and the City 2 hits the silver screen, though we bet there won’t be a silver hair in sight on screen. The entire quartet is signed on, as is writer/director Michael Patrick King, but there is one name curiously missing Read more →

James Perse Puts His Foot Down

Fact: When pieces are borrowed for a photo shoot, they are usually just that – borrowed, unpaid for, and are meant to be returned as soon as the shoot is over (unless someone on set has sticky fingers).

She poses with her mouth just parted, her hair in the wind, and each and every one of her freckles airbrushed out of existence.
