We started hearing word from the Jean Paul Gaultier show earlier today via Tweets from lucky attendees. Old Hollywood was the theme and seating was even named after the major studios. And may we add a quick thank you to the newest editor addition to Twitterverse, Joe Zee. The man is on it with the [...]

Picture This: There’s no video yet from Vanessa Bruno’s short film, just stills. But we’ll take Lou Doillon any way we can get her. {Fashionologie} And They’re Off: Recession be damned, there will always be couture. Even if Anna isn’t there to watch it happen. {FWD} With One Notable Exception: A “restructuring” plan has effectively [...]

Just to quickly recap the very swingin’ Whitney Art party last night, Britt was totally right, bandage dresses took over the room. (To be noted though, Britt did opt for something very hot herself!) The music was old-school (loved). The champers ran out two hours in (did not love). And the room was filled with [...]

Oh, Elle!

Let me just say that I love Elle, lots. It is one of the few American fashion mags that I actually read cover to cover every month. I’m a huge fan of EIC Robbie Myers and Creative Director Joe Zee. That said, I’m somewhat perplexed by their June cover girl, Megan Fox. One of these [...]

I skipped past the bags my mom would probably like to the racks of nipped waists, faux fur collars, and Michael Kors-like florals generously trimmed with bows, feathers and glitter. Matching [...]

This morning WWD reported that ELLE’s Joe Zee and Anne Slowey have started a New York City promo tour for the CW’s “Fashionistas“. But there seems to be a little confusion on the Tyra front, or someone missed the memo. Reuters now reports that the show is called Stylista, and the contestants will vie for [...]

WWD reports that things at Elle are getting even uglier. Nina Garcia’s set to guest star on Ugly Betty in just two days, but if that isn’t enough editor-on-TV for you, don’t worry – both Robbie Myers and Joe Zee, (who must love appearing in front of a camera), will appear in the season finale [...]

A few days ago, we got mildly drunk with someone working on the set of Fashionista, the ELLE television show where someone gets an eventual job assisting Joe Zee. Here’s what they said: The show’s contestants would never normally get an interview, much less a job, at a high-end fashion magazine. “They’re smart, most of [...]
