In publishing, September is sort of like Final Exams: Each magazine is given a grade–in the form of ad pages–and that number is generally indicative of how well the mag fared all year, and what direction it’ll move in next year. After years of thinner, less ad-filled September issues (thank you recession!), magazines’ ad pages Read more →
1. Did Lindsay need Brad to tell her that she’s wearing a bright color with a neutral? Didn’t she probably know what colors she was wearing?
2. Doesn’t Cleo kind of seem like a better and harder-working and more professional assistant than Brad’s actual assistant?
3. Is Andrea Olivieri wearing a gown at this photo shoot?
4. How is a look going to be “aspirational and approachable?” And how is an open cardigan with nothing underneath something that people would actually wear? Just wondering.
1. Do all of Brad‘s confessional interview things have to end in a quippy one-liner?
2. Since Rachel always has to have an assistant with a big personality, does Brad have to have an assistant with a small personality?
3. Can Brad do lots of men’s styling all season? I think handsome male models and editors are what is missing from all other fashion reality shows.
4. Did he just say he wants people stiffing around him?
Fans of Brad Goreski are getting another chance to peek inside his world. Rachel Zoe’s former assistant, who recently scored Jessica Alba as a client, has launched a blog, aptly named Brad’s Blog.
The stylist’s first post features images from the March InStyle spread he edited–featuring Liya Kebede in Spring 2011 Jil Sander–as well as his Details shoot with Christian Slater. (Who looks really hot in the photo, by the way. Seriously.)
Jingle bells, deck the halls, light the menorah and–most important–start buying those holiday presents!
December means not only gifts, but also gift guides. (If Oprah didn’t give us her holiday O-List, how would you know that Aunt Helen would like some sweet-potato butter?) These guides can be helpful, but they’re an awful lot to plow through. To save you the work, StyleList has sifted through the best (and a couple of the worst, just for fun) of the magazine holiday gift guides.
The weather has us in enough of a crap mood already without having to read news of more layoffs in our world all morning. Condé Nast’s never-ending month of news we’d rather not hear seems to be drawing from to a close, but it’s not totally over yet. Just yesterday FWD reported that longtime W Read more →
A quarter. 25%. That’s the big budget cut number supposedly hanging over the heads of editors and publishers at 4 Times Square, according to an article today in The New York Observer. That’s a mighty chunk, huge even. “There will be significant layoffs. Significant,” said one company source in the story. Well, yeah, I’d think Read more →
Keeping Score: Let the NYFW wrap-ups begin. First up, the Wall Street Journal‘s scorecard. {WSJ} Tweet, Tweet: Britt and I developed a pretty serious Twitter addiction over the past 10 days. We literally couldn’t stop ourselves and almost lost it when our phones died. She’s already in London, so you can keep up by following Read more →
We just read over on The Cut (via Ad Age) that men.style.com will close come October once Si Newhouse et al establish stand-alone sites for both Details and GQ. Many of the staffers will thankfully head over to those two sites. This is supposed to be part of the plan to give each title at Read more →
If you, like us, are obsessed with magazines, welcome to phase one of the best project ever. A friend just sent us a link to Premier Issues, a site that’s taken it upon itself to scan in debut covers of all the magazines they can get their hands on. They have obvious ones like LOVE, Read more →
To: Tips@Fashionista.com From: ItsA@Mansworld.com Hey Fashionista – Amidst the flurry of menswear activity – Gareth, Rick, Carlos, and Roland – former Details fashion editor Matthew Edelstein launched a men’s fashion magazine online. How did this slip under the radar? I guess boys have all the fun nowadays…
