Updated: An Anna Wintour Documentary Is in the Works
Looks like Anna Wintour is finally ready for her closeup. The famously private Vogue EIC is set to be the subject of a forthcoming HBO documentary, according to The Daily Beast.
Tucked into Robin Givhan’s lengthy piece (worth a read in itself) on what role Wintour will take on post-Vogue–be it political or otherwise–is this little tidbit:

Girls Costume Designer Jenn Rogien on Her Collaboration Aspirations
Though Girls has only been around for one (too?) short season, the show’s costume designer Jenn Rogien is already making a name for herself.

Legendary Models Dish: Embarrassing Moments, Critiques of the Modeling Industry Today, and Why Kate Upton Is Important
Last night I got to attend what turned out to be one of my favorite fashion events ever: The NYC premiere of the HBO documentary About Face: Supermodels Then and Now. After seeing a few trailers (here and here), I couldn’t wait to see the film. (You can catch the broadcast premiere Monday July 30 at 9pm on HBO.)
Photographer and director Timothy Greenfield-Sanders told us he got the idea for the movie after he attended a cocktail party with a group of models from the 70s and 80s. After doing a shoot with them, he realized that there was a story there, so contacted others (going back to the 50s and 60s) to see if they would work with him–and no one had any hesitations. Models like Isabella Rossellini, Beverly Johnson, Jerry Hall, Carmen dell’Orefice and many more ended up in the final product.
Some of these modeling legends, like China Machado, Carol Alt, and Beverly Johnson, hit the red carpet at the Paley Center for Media last night to share their memories as well as opine about the modeling industry now.

Erin Wasson on How Acting is Like a ‘Full-On Internal Bitch-Slapping’
Last night, VS. Magazine hosted the launch of a new fashion-themed video at the Soho Grand with Erin Wasson, who stars in the short film. Directed by 25-year-old advertising industry alum Jenna Elizabeth, the video–called “The Heimlich Maneuver”– shows Wasson administering CPR to a fellow model who chokes on a piece of Georg Jensen silver jewelry. (Watch it here–creepy.) “There’s something about saying ‘I can afford to eat this’ that is funny,” Elizabeth explained of the concept. “I like the sense of humor in literally having your stomach pumped for jewelry.”

Is Girls the First Show to Realistically Depict How Single Career Girls In NYC Dress?
Girls premiered last night on HBO and it was everything I hoped it would be–honest, smart, hilarious and realistic. Lena Dunham just gets it. While the first episode lived up to the hype for most of us, there has, believe it or not, been some criticism. The L.A. Times seemed to think it was too Read more →
