Just yesterday we reported that W mainstay and styling legend Alex White had resigned from W, and early this morning, her replacement has been announced.
At around 1am EST Edward Enninful took to his brand new twitter account–it’s only two days old–to announce his new position at W magazine, “i have a new job as Fashion and Style Director for W Magazine. Thanks for all the kind words.” Enninful takes over this position from White, who held the position for the last 16 years. He got his start at i-D (he was fashion director there at 18) and for the past ten years has worked as freelance stylist for Italian and US Vogue (you might remember him from The September Issue).
We’re curious to now why White waited until now, months after W’s editorial change-up to leave, and for how long Enninful knew he had the job.
Inspired by The Secret Garden, Mulberry’s Spring 2011 campaign–shot by Tim Walker and styled by Edward Enninful–is pretty pleasing. Especially to those of us obsessed with the 1911 novel. Of course it helps that models Lindsey Wixson and Nimue Smit are perfect. Click through for the rest of the campaign.
Last night, I got a taste of what New York Fashion Week would be like if it was produced by Anna Wintour. Every show would begin on time. Only the best of the best designers would be invited to participate. And the music would be very, very good.
That pretty much sums up Fashion’s Night Out: The Show, which took place last night at the courtyard in Lincoln Center. Over a 1,000 looks–styled by Tabitha Simmons and Edward Enninful–stomped down a twisting runway that must have been a quarter of a mile long in total. Everyone–from Alex Wang to Balenciaga–was featured. Simmons and Enninful chose to style the models as they were originally styled, meaning Prada‘s girls got boufants, and Balenciaga’s wore pastel eyebrows. It was unoriginal, but with so many looks, understandable. Pretty much every model working today walked, including favorites of mine like Dree Hemingway and Ashley Smith. Gisele even made an appearance near the end, shortly after NERD performed in the center of the venue.
The paper program was masterful, save for a weirdly photo-shopped Lara Stone on the cover. (A friend said that her waist “looked tinier than Karly’s–creepy.”) Every single clothing credit was included, which is a two day-long job on its own.
All in all, it was a successful event. Especially for those who hadn’t seen these looks come down the runway last February.

The only movie that’s made me laugh harder than The September Issue this year is The Hangover. Anna Wintour is funny; my mascara is smudged from tears of laughter. The film may start out with Anna saying that fashion’s picked on because people are bitter they aren’t a cool kid, but she only gets more Read more →
