What does an Anna Wintour-approved web series look like?
Now, we know. Vogue‘s online programming will debut May 8 (after the Met Ball), and you can already watch teasers on the glossy’s YouTube channel.
Vogue just can’t seem to get enough of Beyoncé. For the third time in the last three months Queen Bey graces the cover of the magazine—this time for its Indian edition. The shot used for the cover of Vogue India’s May issue is an outtake from her Vogue US shoot. {Fashion Bomb Daily}
And speaking of Vogue, you can now major in the magazine at Condé Nast’s newly-opened College of Fashion & Design in London. The school offers two courses: a ten-week Vogue Fashion Certificate and a yearlong Vogue Fashion Foundation Diploma. {The Cut}
Kate Middleton-favorite Issa London launches its first-ever handbag collection in straw and satin in collaboration with Banana Republic. {SheFinds}
We’ll admit it seems pretty obvious (especially given her lastest hire) that Anna Wintour will continue to have a hand in politics while fulfilling her role as Condé Nast’s artistic director and Vogue‘s editor in chief. But it seems certain that she’s not going to be an ambassador. At least not anytime soon.
Still, Friday’s news that Marc Lasry, frontrunner for the French ambassador post, was withdrawing after his involvement with a mob-run poker ring became public, has some speculating Wintour might be offered the gig.
Count Vogue Japan as another fan of Hedi Slimane for Saint Laurent. The glossy styled Karlie Kloss in a bohemian glam look from the designer’s spring collection for its June 2013 cover. {Fashion Gone Rogue}
Lauren Hutton is apparently writing a book full of “juicy anecdotes” like the time she met Bill Clinton or traveled through Africa. If it’s anything like her recent The Edit interview, we obviously can’t wait. Especially for all the curse words. {Page Six}
Kering has expansion on the brain. The luxury conglomerate has acquired jewelry company Pomellato, just a few months after taking a majority stake in Christopher Kane. {WWD}
Sounds like all that time and money Anna Wintour spent raising money for Barack Obama is still paying off.
Anna Wintour may have eschewed politics for Vogue and Conde Nast (for now), but that doesn’t mean she can’t bring politics to Vogue.
From the introduction of branded web series to investments in ecommerce to Anna Wintour’s expanded new role, Condé Nast is making more moves than it has in years (maybe ever?). And it shows no signs of stopping.
When Anna Wintour was promoted to Conde Nast’s artistic director she said her role would be like a “one-person consulting firm.” In addition to her duties as Vogue’s editor in chief and Teen Vogue‘s editorial director she would meet with the editors of Conde’s other titles to offer advice and strategy.
Lucky magazine, with its drop in ad pages over the last few years (the mag dropped 38 pages in 2012) and flagging circulation, is at the top of the list, it seems.
A thoughtful and dishy-sounding new independent print magazine is set to hit newsstands in May. Though, it’s being met with some opposition from publishing giant Condé Nast.
This morning, we went to the home of fancy editors, Condé Nast, where Vogue and H&M hosted a panel discussion on the future of sustainability in the fashion industry.
Even though I left the discussion feeling a little like I was being blamed for something, I also left with some good tips on how I can take this whole sustainability thing into my own hands. Some of them seem pretty obvious–but they’re rarely followed. Read on to find them out.
At a Friday meeting of Condé Nast’s top brass, one planned well before Anna Wintour’s promotion had been announced, Wintour got a chance to address the very curious crew of editors-in-chief who were presumably all wondering just how much sway Wintour would have with their respective titles.
So what did she say?
After it was announced that Anna Wintour would become the “artistic director” of Condé Nast, consulting on editorial decisions with all of Condé’s titles, there was some inevitable blowback.
So about those nagging rumors that Anna Wintour is up for an ambassadorship in the Obama administration–or even those rumors that she’ll retire soon: This latest bit of news should put them to rest once and for all.
