Hi Guys, I’m the New Girl in Charge

by

You all probably noticed that Lauren Sherman, my partner in crime and the lady who helmed this site has jumped ship for a glossier world. And while I’m still sad that she’s gone (it’s only been three days!) I could not be more excited about taking the reins here at Fashionista. I’ve been here a year now and it gets better everyday. We’ve got a great team in place with Cheryl stepping up to broaden her coverage and Dhani in the trenches and we love bringing you the news and our take on it as it breaks.

I so appreciate all of your support and feedback, and I hope you’ll tolerate my love for fashion at its funniest and cats. Lots of cats.

Breaking News: Rent the Runway Teams Up With Lancôme to Sell Makeup

by

Rent the Runway–the service that lets you rent designer dresses for a few days at a time–is teaming up with Lancôme to sell a selection of color makeup, including Juicy Tubes, eyeliners, and bronzer.

The goal is to give RtR (www.renttherunway.com) clients the “head to toe” experience: Not only can you now wear a high-end dress for a fraction of the price, you can have makeup that complements your new look delivered in the same package.

“Lancôme is the perfect partner for our entry into beauty,” Rent the Runway CEO Jennifer Hyman said in a statement. “They’re a luxurious, aspirational and sophisticated brand, just like our designer partners.”

It’s no surprise Rent the Runway is entering the full-price market, and beauty seems like a smart way to do it. Lancôme may be luxurious, but it’s prices are attainable. A Color Design Lipstick, for instance, is $22. Not cheap–but not crazy, either. These impulse purchases should add a nice little cushion to RtR’s top line. (The site also sells lingerie at full-price.)

Despite earlier reports suggesting John Galliano would eventually be invited back to the helm of his namesake label, LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault told the New York Times‘ Cathy Horyn that the disgraced designer is not welcome at LVMH.

“He will not be working for LVMH,” Arnault said after the Dior Homme show in Paris on Saturday. He also revealed that Galliano’s longtime assistant Bill Gaytten is taking over as the creative director of the namesake label. (Gaytten bowed at the Galliano menswear show yesterday.)

Off the Cuff

You Asked, I’m Answering

by

Thanks for the questions! I’m sure this isn’t the last time we’ll chat. What did you do before Fashionista? For the last couple of months I’ve been freelancing for a ton of different publications and I started a blog called The Fashion Beat, which focuses on the intersection of fashion, commerce and retail. Before that Read more →
