There’s no doubt as to who the model of the season is.
Cara Delevingne, in all her goofy-faced glory, has walked damn near every major runway in New York and London, landed her first Vogue UK cover, and commands a massive audience on social media (over 470,000 followers on Twitter, 747,000 on Instagram). And while we know she can walk, today we learned something new about the Brit beauty: She can also sing!

After months of speculation, Amanda Brooks has been hired as the new fashion director of Barneys New York. “I have long admired Amanda and her effortless blend of luxury and individual style. Her unique perspective on fashion mirrors what Barneys represents and we feel very fortunate to have her join the team,” said Daniella Vitale, the company’s new chief merchandiser, in a statement. She begins February 7, just in time to sit front row at New York Fashion Week.
While much of our generation knows Brooks as more of a socialite and personal style icon, penning the guide I Love Your Style in 2009, she also has plenty of legit fashion cred. Her most recent position was director of fashion at William Morris, where she worked with Chanel, Tod’s, and American Express on marketing, advertising, and image building. As an independent consultant, she worked with DvF, Tory Burch, and Roger Vivier. She was also at one point the creative director of Hogan, as well as Tuleh. She has also written for top notch publications, such as Vogue and The New York Times.
We’ve always thought of Brooks as more of a Bergdorf girl, so it’ll be interesting to see how she adapts her uptown sensibility to the decidedly downtown Barneys brand.

We discussed the fate of Hogan earlier in the week when Tod’s S.P.A. announced they were closing their downtown store and moving uptown. Their downtown image, one cultivated through ads starring Leigh Lezark and Elettra Weidemann, wasn’t quite working – so above 14th Street they went. And of course we wondered who’d star in their Read more →
Hogan, Tod’s cooler, younger sister, is closing its downtown New York store in June. The lifestyle brand says it wants to move uptown and the current economic climate has finally given them access to the kind of space they need. A spokesperson told WWD that Hogan’s the largest growing brand within the Tod’s family and Read more →
