As a daily reader since I was 11, I have grown up with Fashionista. I honestly feel that the voices & stories of these women have shaped me into the fashion-obsessed 16-year-old that I am today. I would spend my lunch in middle school catching up on Faran’s (fabulously handwritten) fashion trivia in the computer Read more →
Believe it or not, Fashionista turns five years old this year. 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 Britt made us all tear up by sharing her fondest memories spent with each of Fashionista’s former (and current!) editors. And before Britt: Abby enumerated her favorite moments at the helm, Letterman-style, with a top 10 list; Natalie waxed nostalgic about afternoon Soho news-gathering strolls; and kicking off the series, Faran, the site’s founding editor, held us captive with stories of Fashionista’s early days. Next up, my former editor (whom I still miss A LOT) Lauren Sherman, who is now the executive editor at LuckyMag.com.

Last month (yes, we took a break on these nostalgia posts during fashion month), Fashionista’s third editor, Abby Gardner, enumerated her fondest Fashionista memories, Letterman-style with a top 10 list. Before her, Natalie Hormilla waxed nostalgic about afternoon Soho news-gathering strolls, and before her, the site’s founding editor, Faran Krentcil, brought tears (of laughter and just aww-ness) to our eyes with her tales. Next up, my partner in crime, Britt Aboutaleb, the site’s fourth editor and now the fashion news editor at Elle.com.

First, Fashionista’s founding editor, Faran Krentcil, hilariously and poignantly recalled her first year at the helm. Then Natalie Hormilla, took a wistful walk down memory lane. Next up, Abby Gardner, Fashionista’s third editor, who is now the Site Director at Marie Claire presents her Top 10 list.
My time at Fashionista (2009 through early 2010) was a fun one. It was just me, Britt, our fantastic interns and our shared love of all things Gwyneth. Looking back on it now I could go on and on about so many things, but I decided I’d go all Letterman (we’re from the same hometown after all) and narrow it down to a Top 10 list. Though really these are in no particular order.
