Lessons on Being a Better Fashion Blogger from Rachel Zoe, Lauren Conrad, Leandra Medine and More at Lucky FABB

At Lucky magazine’s Fashion and Beauty Blog Conference, bloggers came from all over the country to network and listen in on insight from speakers like the Macy’s CEO Terry Lundgren, Rachel Zoe, The Man Repeller’s Leandra Medine, Barneys’ Simon Doonan and reality TV star-turned-fashion designer/blogger Lauren Conrad.

Scott Schuman on Why He Won’t Photograph People Who ‘Want To Get Shot’ and Being the Victoria Beckham of Street Style

by

The images on display are included in Schuman’s newest book, The Sartorialist: Closer.

Unsurprisingly, the event brought a mix of the blogosphere’s brightest stars–Bryanboy, Rumi Neely and of course Schuman‘s girlfriend Garance Dore were all in attendance, as were many of Schuman’s exceptionally well-dressed subjects.

Michael Pitt on the ‘Crazy, Brilliant’ People of Fashion and Borrowing an Armani Suit to Meet ‘Marty’ Scorsese

by

Leaning against the uber-modern bar at the W Hotel Downtown, Michael Pitt looked a far cry from his Boardwalk Empire alter ego Jimmy Darmody. For starters, he was wearing “whatever was clean” (a Burberry button up, unidentified dark pants and various chains and chokers) as opposed to a three piece suit. Sadly, I wasn’t there Read more →

Her rotund baby belly and cut-offs were replaced by a svelte figure, a sparkling mini dress and very glittery high heels. Read more →
