From Scott Disick Rolling Cigars to Grace Coddington Drawing Cats, Here Are the 12 Fashion’s Night Out Events You Need to Know About

It’s baaaack. Like it or not, Fashion’s Night Out keeps chugging along–and the official website for the globally expanding shopping extravaganza, now in its fourth year, is up and running. As has become the norm for FNO (or what is more accurately a boozy Halloween for shopping enthusiasts), come September 6, stores across NYC and Read more →

We Hear All the Vogue Girls Have to Wear Pink to the Met Ball, So What Should They Wear?

A little birdie told us there will be some girly outfit coordination going on at this year’s Costume Institute Gala, which is less than two weeks away. The Vogue-hosted event will celebrate the opening of “Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations” at the Met and we hear the hostesses–namely, Vogue editors, will be paying a little tribute to one of the exhibition’s subjects by following a strict dress code: they all have to wear pink.

News in Vogue: MMB Gives Up the Index, Proenza Pretty Much Confirms Its Partnership With Andrew Rosen, and Anna + Blake, Again?!

News in Vogue: MMB Gives Up the Index, Proenza Pretty Much Confirms Its Partnership With Andrew Rosen, and Anna + Blake, Again?!

I received my February Vogue in the mail yesterday, and I’ve got to hand it to them, it was a fantastic issue. There were some lovely little tidbits in there that I’m happy to share:

Meredith Melling Burke is no longer the editor of the Index pages. Fashion market editor Jessica Sailer has taken on the task of putting together those back pages. As the Index is one of my favorite sections in Vogue, I noticed that MMB’s byline was missing in the January issue. This time around, AW announces in her editor’s letter that Sailer is newly in charge. MMB seems to be focusing more on the web these days. We hear from the inside that she’s the one everyone at Vogue.com is really reporting to, not Candy.

In his profile of Proenza Schouler, fashion news director Mark Holgate says that the duo is about to sign a deal with Andrew Rosen, Theory CEO and Rag & Bone investor.

Meredith Melling Burke’s New Job at Vogue.com Means That the Brand Might Be Smarter About the Internet Than We Thought

Meredith Melling Burke just got a promotion. But not at Vogue. No, she’s still the market director at the world’s most famous glossy. Instead, she’s taking on a new role. At….drum roll…Vogue.com! Gasp! A print person doing work for the web? How shocking!

Actually, it’s smart. Very, very smart. And makes us wonder: Is Vogue savvier about this whole internet thing than we assumed?

Burke is a fantastic market editor in a business where market editors are thought of as second in ranking to stylists (aka fashion editors). Along with her senior market editor role at the magazine, she’s been promoted to fashion market director at Vogue.com. “Her task at the website will be to increase its fashion content,” says WWD.

Why is this so revolutionary? Because there is still a vast river between print and web staffs at most women’s and fashion magazines.

Why Does the Good Stuff Never Actually Get Produced?

Why Does the Good Stuff Never Actually Get Produced?

It’s easy to critique American Vogue, but there are things I really admire about the magazine. For instance, Meredith Melling Burke’s Index pages. They accomplish what so many market pages don’t–they tell a compelling story while also legitimately attempting to sell the reader on the items featured. In a recent issue–I think it was July–she offered up a pair of gorgeous red suede Sigerson Morrison kitten heels. They were immediately added to my list of fall Needs.

Problem is, they didn’t get produced.

Meredith Melling-Burke On Gossip Girl and Other Major FNO News

Fashion’s Night Out is a little more than a month away and more details are being revealed around the world as the night gets closer.

For one, Hamish Bowles and Lauren Santo-Domingo will not be the only Vogue editors to appear on the September 20 FNO-themed Gossip Girl episode. Vogue market editor Meredith Melling-Burke will also make an appearance and we hear she’s wearing Chloe.

In other news, Payless is offering Facebook fans a chance to win a 5-day trip to NYC for Fashion’s Night Out. The “All Fashion Pass” will include access to the Vogue fashion show and a meet and greet with Payless designers Christian Siriano, Patricia Field, Lela Rose and Isabel Toledo. This actually sounds really cool.

From NYC to Australia, Chanel to Billy Reid, we’ve got the scoop on even more major FNO events you won’t want to miss.

Vogue.com, It Does Exist

I need Style.com like I need my morning coffee. But I’ve been clicking on Vogue.com more and more lately, in part because I’m anxiously awaiting obvious changes and excited for Condé Nast to really truly enter the digital age (I’d never actually say that out loud), but also because it lets you see a totally Read more →
