Kate Middleton is UK’s ‘Most Naturally Beautiful Woman’, Forever 21 in Legal Trouble and Marion Cotillard is Lady Dior

Kate Middleton can now add a new title to her already-distinguished name: The Duchess of Campbridge has been voted Britain’s most naturally beautiful woman. {In Style UK}

Marion Cotillard continues her world tour as the face of Lady Dior. Next stop: The Hamptons! After having starred in campaigns shot in Paris, New York, Shanghai, London and Los Angeles, the actress was lensed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino on the beach in the Hamptons for Lady Dior’s latest campaign. {WWD}

Forever 21 is in legal trouble again–though this time it’s not for violating intellectual property rights. The US Department of Labor has served the fast fashion retailer with a subpoena, after they failed to turn over pertinent documents concerning the labor practices of their apparel contractors and manufacturers. The documents were originally requested because investigators found some goods were being manufactured in “sweatshop-like conditions.” {WWD}

Why Are So Many Editors Leaving Magazines for Retail Brands?

Yesterday, WWD reported that Anamaria Wilson, the fashion features director at Harper’s Bazaar, would be leaving her post at the magazine to join Michael Kors as senior vice president of global corporate communications.

Wilson is something of a veteran in the publishing industry, building her career over the past twenty years at such prestigious titles as WWD, W Magazine and, of course, Harper’s Bazaar, so her recent move to Kors is somewhat unexpected–and it’s definitely a change of pace. But Wilson isn’t alone: Several big-name editors have recently made the jump from editorial to brands. NYLON‘s Faran Krentcil is now at Clarins and Shopbop; New York Mag’s Jenny Kang is now at J. Crew; GQ‘s Sean Hotchkiss is also now at J.Crew; Glamour‘s Jenny Feldman is now at Amazon; Lucky‘s Jen Ford is now at Kate Spade; Marie Claire‘s Taylor Tomasi Hill is now at Moda Operandi; and the list goes on.

So what’s going on? Why are all these editorial-minded individuals leaving publishing to work for retail brands?

Quote of the Day

“The last few years I’ve done hardly any modeling; when it’s with a brilliant photographer, or to support this film, for example, or it’s very interesting, then I’ll do it here and there. But for the most part, I’ve really enjoyed the process of acting, and I’d be more inclined to dedicate my time to Read more →
