We’re endlessly fascinated with the meeting of “real,” “reality” and “fashion” on television these days, and the way it endlessly fascinates us despite our constant stream of questions and concerns. Like: 1. Doesn’t Diane von Furstenberg (as in, the real DVF, not some character of herself she plays on MTV) care that the entire world Read more →
If the mere existence of The City didn’t make this one obvious, allow the cold hard facts to stand alone: Lauren Conrad is leaving The Hills after season five, which premieres March 30th. No word on exactly what the show will become without its north star, but here’s the better question – what exactly is Read more →
Looks like Allie from The City really is a model – here she is in Tracy Feith’s line for Target.
News flash: Looks like a reality stint on the CW can actually land you a real job at ELLE. Plenty of people thought that Stylista couldn’t possibly result in an actual job at one of the world’s top magazines, even after others swore it really would. But now, Johanna, the show’s only-season winner, is blogging Read more →
When we first heard about Bravo’s Project Runway replacement, Fashion House, we chalked it up to being a desperate move and a show that probably no one would watch. Consider our tune changed: Bravo’s just announced the show’s judges, and they’re none other than Isaac Mizrahi (whom we wish we could carry around in our Read more →
While you wait for The September Issue to finally hit A&E, there’s another fashion documentary making the rounds: Eleven Minutes. The documentary follows Project Runway Season 1 winner, Jay McCarroll, for a full year while he tries to ready his first independent collection for New York Fashion Week. Sure, that sounds a little like Unzipped Read more →
In case anyone else sort of came around on The City after Olivia shut down Whitney over talking about her friends’ hook up situation in the DVF offices (“Whitney, you’re an adult. You’re what, 23 years old? You’re not in high school”), take note: MTV’s picked up the show for a second season, which could Read more →
Good news if you’re a fan of Nina Garcia on Project Runway, and Stylista on the CW. Bad news if you think ELLE should lay off cable-related publicity: ELLE has just hired on Creative Artists Agency as a consultant. Why? Because they need someone to look for “TV shows and film properties that can elevate Read more →
If you happen to know Kate Bartle, Starworks’ Director of Accessories, then you may or may not already know this: Kate’s left her PR job at Starworks as of yesterday. Her mega destination? Working in the PR department of DVF. Which, I’m sure you’ve all put together by now, means she’s Whitney Port’s newest co-worker Read more →
During the last couple Fashion Weeks, you were like to spot either Tyson Beckford or Niki Taylor with a camera crew in tow, since they were filming Bravo’s Make Me a Supermodel. Now, you can add Nicole Trunfio to that list, since she’s just been brought on by the show as “a mentor to the Read more →
“Uptown is represented by a fantastically detestable office rival of Whitney’s, Olivia Palermo, who has provided the show’s single greatest contribution to the nomenclature of reality TV by referring to herself not as a socialite but as a “social.” This has the benefit of confirming for whoever might actually be wondering that she is in Read more →
In keeping with sacred internet tradition, we give you the first of Fashionista’s end-of-year lists: Who Should Have Judged Project Runway? Britt: 1. Isaac Mizrahi: Because, duh. 2. Behati Prinsloo: Because having a model challenge would be genius and Behati’s witty, smart, young and if they need a more commercial angle, she’s the face of Read more →
