Breakfast at Tiffany’s Costume Designer Colleen Atwood on Giving Holly Golightly a 1940s Makeover

by

With Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke in the lead role made famous by Audrey Hepburn in the 1961 film version of Breakfast at Tiffany’s, we couldn’t help but wonder how Holly Golightly’s iconic wardrobe (Givenchy and satin gloves, anyone?) would translate to the stage–and the play’s World War II-era Manhattan setting.

We caught up with the production’s costume designer Colleen Atwood–a Hollywood heavyweight who’s been nominated for 10 Oscars and won three (for her work in Chicago, Memoirs of a Geisha, and Alice in Wonderland)–about her first foray into theater and redesigning an icon.

Meet Carlos Bell, Star of Tonight’s Episode of The Job with Joanna Coles–and Hear His Inspiring Tale of Fashion Hustle

by

We have a confession to make: We are on tonight’s episode of The Job, a new CBS reality show hosted by Lisa Ling (my journalism crush). It’s our reality TV debut!

The premise of the show is this: five candidates compete for the same job and jump through a bunch of hoops to try to get hired. The sought-after job on tonight’s episode is an editorial assistant position at Joanna Coles’s Cosmo. We are one of three “guest companies” (along with Who What Wear and Archetype Me) that can try to poach one of the candidates. You’re going to just have to watch to see how it all pans out.

But we wanted to introduce you to one of the candidates, 25-year-old Carlos Bell. His story is so inspiring, his fashion hustle so great, we just had to share. Read on to find out how he landed his first internship at GQ (and commuted 10 hours a day to get there) and what he’s up to next.

by

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.
