Choupette, Karl Lagerfeld’s 9 month old kitten, is definitely having her 15 minutes right now thanks to Lagerfeld’s glowing praise in a WWD interview yesterday and the subsequent creation of a Twitter account devoted to the “famous beauty.” We even got an exclusive interview with her yesterday. Sadly, though, photographs of the Siamese kitten are Read more →
Well, our day is off to the best start imaginable. It’s all downhill from here. This morning, Karl Lagerfeld tweeted the above photograph of his adorable little baby kitty Choupette relaxing in what appears to be a bed, playing with an iPad. Ahhh. To make things even cuter, the photo is accompanied by the caption Read more →
Earth Day is next Sunday and while fashion isn’t exactly the most environmentally responsible industry, one simple way to keep your fashion obsession eco-friendly is to cut out magazines. Don’t freak out–there’s no need to give them up entirely–just the physical paper versions. Nowadays, as just about everything shifts to online, most magazines offer some Read more →
It’s not exactly a secret that Conde Nast has been a little late to the whole Internet thing. Look no further than the fact that their most famous fashion title–Vogue, in case you weren’t sure–only got a dot com a few years ago. So it makes sense the famed publisher is trying to make up for lost time.
Today Conde Nast launched new social media tool “Social Sidekick.” The in-house developed tool works as an aggregator for most-shared content from W, Style.com, Glamour, Self, Teen Vogue and Lucky. It sounds sort of fancy but all it actually means is that on those sites there will be a window at the bottom of the page, which splashes out popular content from the aforementioned sister sites–basically, it’s an aggregator like any other aggregator on any other site. It’s not a bad idea–especially from the advertising perspective–but it’s certainly not groundbreaking, or as Business Insider says, “It’s nice to look at, but it won’t make a big difference to the bottom line.”

First Look at Mark Fast For Aldo: Going off the sketch of a fringed wedge sandal, it looks like the collection might not be out until next resort (though there’s no official word). We’ll wait, since it sounds awesome: Fast described it as “sexy, strong, fierce African fabulousness.” {Catwalk Queen}
Have you ever thought, gee, I really wish I could carry a piece of Bernie Madoff around with me all the time? We know, us too. Seeing this vast and obvious hole in the market, tech entrepreneur John Vaccaro bought a stack of Ol Bernie’s clothes at a U.S. Marshals auction last year and is now selling them, redesigned as iPad covers, under the label Frederick James.
According to the brand’s website, “the collection is made from a limited number of personal clothing items belonging to the notorious felon, Bernie Madoff,” including designer duds like Christian Dior sweaters, Ralph Lauren trousers and two pairs of pants by…Banana Republic and J. Crew. Yep, the man who swindled $65 billion still picked up his pants at the mall. Other fun facts learned about the super-villian:
Vogue has finally launched an iPad app, but Conde’s marquee title is taking a unique approach.
Vogue Cover Exclusive, the 99 cent app available beginning today, features the Lady Gaga cover story, along with behind-the-scenes interviews and videos only available on the iPad. “With the Cover Exclusive app, we have created a custom brand of journalism targeted at the Twitter generation,” Anna Wintour said in a statement.
Fashionista columnist and all around cool kid Chris Benz picks out the gifts he’s giving to his nearest and dearest this holiday season. We only hope we’re lucky enough to be on that list! (wink wink, cashmere tee.)
From iPad apps to television shows, magazines are more dedicated than ever to finding alternative revenue streams. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t.
This time around, we think it’ll work. Glamour, one of the most well-read magazines in the country, has teamed up with the Home Shopping Network to design a line of affordable jewelry (each piece rings in at under $100). The collection launched this morning at 2am EST on HSN, where Glamour.com‘s Tracey Lomrantz discussed the ins and outs of fall trends–military, lace, etc.–and how they applied to the magazine’s line of baubles. She’ll be shilling yet again at 1pm, 2pm, and 11pm EST time today.
It makes sense for Glamour to get into this particular game. Rachel Zoe, Janie Bryant, Lori Goldstein…the list of fashion insiders that have embraced television shopping is virtually endless. So Glamour‘s move is just right. Not only are the pieces accessible–much like the magazine–they’re also quite appealing. We saw Tracey donning one of the necklaces at an event last week and noticed it immediately.
Click through to see for yourself. And watch Tracey today on HSN–we’re rooting for her! And Glamour.

I couldn’t be less interested in the iPad. It’s like an iPhone on steroids, and I already have a laptop. But Interview invited a few editors to play with their app over breakfast this morning and I have to say that while I won’t be buying an iPad (not when I want these), I will Read more →
