Carine Roitfeld on Her New Harper’s Bazaar Role and That Time Karl Lagerfeld Got Arrested For Wearing a Burqa

Carine Roitfeld on Her New Harper’s Bazaar Role and That Time Karl Lagerfeld Got Arrested For Wearing a Burqa

by

It’s been a minute since Carine Roitfeld gave one of her signature candor-filled interviews. And since she always has a new project in the works (and a generally more interesting life than most people), she never seems to run out of newsworthy things to talk about. This week, it was her new gig as global fashion director of Harper’s Bazaar. Plus a crazy story about Karl Lagerfeld that we’ve somehow never heard until now.

Thanks to Sandy, Anna Wintour, Marc Jacobs and More Are Forced Out of Their Homes Into Fancy Hotels Uptown

by Cheryl Wischhover and Leah Chernikoff

After Sandy ripped through New York, leaving most of Manhattan below 34th Street in darkness and under water, the fashion pack–including Anna Wintour, Grace Coddington, Marc Jacobs, Mary-Kate Olsen and more–have been forced to relocate to higher ground.

Ryan Murphy Wants Tom Ford To Guest Star on Glee

by

Prolific television writer/director/producer Ryan Murphy was quite possibly the most popular guy at the Michael Kors-honoring God’s Love We Deliver event last night.

Full disclosure: Like Leah, I kind of fell behind on the show last season. But despite the show’s absence on my DVR queue, I’d have to live in a hole to not know that Sarah Jessica Parker guest stars this season as a Vogue.com editor with wardrobe tips from real life Vogue editrix Anna Wintour (and makeup inspired by former Vogue Paris editor Carine Roitfeld).

So, I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to ask Glee‘s well-connected helmer for some insider tips on what other fashion-y plans he has in store. And that’s when things got really good.

The Kids in Vogue Paris Are Dressing Much More Age-Appropriately These Days

by

When Carine Roitfeld left French Vogue, rumors circulated that one racy fashion editorial in particular was the reason for her firing. It featured children, like the now-infamous Thylane Blondeau, dressed provocatively in adult clothing and makeup, posing suggestively. It was a little creepy, as was much of Vogue Enfants.

So it’s no surprise to find that, like the rest of the magazine under new EIC Emmanuelle Alt, Vogue Paris’ children’s editorials have gotten a little more tame–which is definitely a good thing.

Here’s What Alber Elbaz, Carine Roitfeld and More Would Look Like as Disney Characters

by

What a cute way to start the morning! As was announced back in August, Barneys is giving Disney characters a high fashion makeover for its new “Electric Holiday” campaign and upcoming “moving art short.” We’ve already seen what Minnie Mouse looks like as a svelte, 5’11,” Lanvin-clad model, but what about what Lanvin designer Alber Elbaz looks like as a Disney character?
