Demi Moore, Martha Stewart and the Brant Brothers Get Sandy at Chanel’s Art Basel Bash

by

The tented setting at last night’s Chanel Art Basel party gave the whole evening a wedding vibe (albeit a very fashionable one)–as did the evening’s soundtrack, which tended towards songs like “Son of a Preacher Man,” “Satisfaction,” and “Shout,” and packed the dance floor. Adriana Lima was there, looking as gorgeous as if she’d just stepped off the Victoria’s Secret runway. So was Naomi Campbell, and Martha Stewart, and Demi Moore–who looked like she was having a really good time getting cozy with Lenny Kravitz and grooving in her seat in the VIP section. At some point she even found a cat to cuddle, which would obviously enhance anyone’s night.

Fashion News Roundup: Vogue UK EIC Pens A Novel, Tracy Reese Talks Trayvon Martin Case, and Fashion People’s Tats

by

Tracy Reese Weighs in on the Trayvon Martin Case: Like most of the country, the designer is outraged at the shooting of the innocent, unarmed teenage boy. She talked to Huffington Post’s Black Voices about the matter, articulating her views on the troubling assumption in our society that People of Color are always up to no good:” The whole thing is just so sad, and the excuses are so lame… White people wear hoodies too,” she said. “It’s so sad that people want to be in fear of you just because you’re a young man of color.” Couldn’t have said it better, Ms. Reese. {Huffington Post}

Vogue UK Editor-in-Chief Alexandra Shulman Releases Her First Novel: It seems every writer, journalist, or editor has a secret dream of publishing a novel, and we’re happy to see that Alexandra Shulman is one of the few who have made it a reality. Can We Still be Friends, is the story of three friends fresh from college, trying to figure out post grad life in Eighties London. Expect the novel in stores April 19. {Vogue UK}

Dasha Zhukova and Shala Monroque’s New Magazine Garage Features a Lily Donaldson Puppet, Lettuce McQueen and Tattooed Labia

by

After her brief and less than well-received stint as Pop‘s editor-in-chief, it sounds like Dasha Zhukova has finally found a place to do her fashion-meets-art thing her way. Her new magazine, Garage, debuts for fall 2011 and the New York Times‘ Eric Wilson got a preview.

The art collector, fashion designer, and girlfriend of Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, named the magazine after the Garage Center for Contemporary Culture, a museum she opened in Moscow in 2008. Garage’s art director, Mike Meiré tells the Times, “It is so very, very different from other magazines,” and that sounds pretty accurate. According to Wilson, it “looks almost handmade.”

The inaugural issue has multiple covers: One was a collaboration between artist Dinos Champan and Show Studio’s Nick Knight and features a creepy dollhouse in which a puppet version of Lily Donaldson wears Marc Jacobs. Another cover features a model shot nude from the waist down, her nether regions covered by a butterfly sticker that can be peeled off to reveal…a butterfly tattoo. On a vagina.

Former Vogue Russia EIC Aliona Doletskaya is Launching Two European Editions of Interview Magazine

by

Aliona Doletskaya‘s departure from Vogue Russia raised more than a few questions, but mostly people just wondered, “Where would she go next?”

Despite rumors that she would replace Anna Wintour at American Vogue, or Carine Roitfeld at Vogue Paris, the most likely scenario was that she would take over Pop from fellow Russian Dasha Zhukova.

Instead, Doletskaya will launch two European editions of Interview magazine–one in Russia at the end of 2011 and one in Germany at the beginning of 2012. She will serve as editor-in-chief of both publications.

This is great news for Doletskaya, but it’s also good news for Brant Publications, the publisher of Interview.

Rumor Mill: Former Russian Vogue EIC Aliona Doletskaya to Pop?

by

Since Russian gallerina Dasha Zhukova resigned as the editor of Pop last week, folks have been wondering about who would replace her.

A rumor from the twittersphere claims that former Russian Vogue EIC Aliona Doletskaya is gunning for the spot. And it comes from an insidery source. Fashion man about town Derek Blasberg just tweeted: “In today’s completely unsubstantiated rumors: Aliona Doletskaya, former editor-in-chief of Russian Vogue, is vying for the top gig at POP.”

When Doletskaya resigned there were rumors she would replace Wintour at American Vogue. But since Anna’s not going anywhere soon, there could be some truth to the rumor, and Pop might hand the EIC spot over to another Russian.

Pop, Katie Grand’s baby, took on a less fashion-y more artsy vibe under Zhukova’s reign, so Doletskaya would have the fashion cred and contacts to return the mag to its fashion roots.

Breaking: Dasha Zhukova Resigns from Pop

by

Dasha Zhukova, who replaced Katie Grand as the editor of Pop nearly two years ago, has resigned from the magazine, according to Telegraph fashion editor Hilary Alexander.

Pop was Katie Grand’s baby and Zhukova–a Russia gallery girl, Kova & T designer, and partner of billionaire Roman Abramovich–was given a lot of crap when she entered the role. Owned by Bauer–yes, the publisher who runs Life & Style–Pop has taken on a less-fashion-y, more artsy vibe during Zhukova’s reign.

Whether or not Zhukova was unceremoniously canned or simply decided she’d had enough is yet to be determined. Know anything? Email us on tips@fashionista.com.
