Last week, in between all the fashion week madness, we headed over to Indochine to celebrate The Daily‘s tenth anniversary.
We managed to get a few moments with woman of the hour, The Daily‘s founding editor Brandusa Niro, to chat about making it to ten years, where the magazine is going next, and how the whole Vogue drag routine came about.
I was skeptical of The Daily, Rupert Murdoch’s new iPad-only daily newspaper. And I still am. (Read this piece to understand why.)
But regardless of my personal feelings towards this new information source, I’ve still been reading it for the last three days. And I’ll admit it–my other half and I will probably buy the 99 cent subscription after the pay wall goes up in a couple of weeks. I love reading free and easy papers like AM New York on the train, and reading it on the iPad is a heck of a lot less intrusive.
Like any other paper, there’s an Arts & Life section, featuring two fashion pieces thus far.
As Fashionista first reported in November, IMG is selling fashion trade publication The Daily to Brandusa Niro, its editor.
Niro told Forbes that she owns a “controlling interest” in the magazine and website, but that its editors and writers will still benefit from the resources–aka good tickets to all the big shows–that IMG has supplied them with in the past.
Forbes also asked Niro what she thought about Rupert Murdoch’s The Daily, that iPad-only daily newspaper. (Apparently there’s been a little legal battle between Murdoch’s News Corp. and IMG regarding trademarks on the name.) Niro said that she had no comment on what she planned to about the situation, if anything at all.
Here’s something to shock you out of your Friday afternoon slump.
We hear that IMG is selling New York Fashion Week newspaper The Daily, according to a source close to the situation.
The likely buyer? Editor-in-Chief Brandusa Niro, who founded the publication in 2003.
This development follows the news that Valentine Uhovski, Emily Gyben, and Emily Popp–all longtime reporters at the pub–have left. Guillaume Bruneau, who was most recently an art director at Elle, and Eddie Roche, a former producer with Alley Cat Group, have joined as art director and senior editor, respectively.
In late October, The Daily struck a deal with AM NewYork–a free morning newspaper that’s circulated throughout New York City–to distribute an insert, called The Daily Chic Report.
In an email to Fashionista, an IMG spokesperson said: “We decline to comment on rumor and speculation.”
Stefano Tonchi started his new job as editor-in-chief of W on Monday and everyone’s talking about his new masthead— even though the man himself is in Milan for the Salone del Mobile. Yesterday, the Daily reported he’d hired Lawrence Karol, former managing editor of Gourmet, to be his executive managing editor. Point one for the Read more →
We already mentioned five things we need from London, here’s ten more pieces we want now–not next fall.
Yesterday afternoon, The Daily posted an imagined interview with the November issue of Allure. The story’s set up as a look at what it’s like to be a glossy mag in a world that’s constantly downsizing. Its tone, however, made it feel more like an interview with a petulant, somewhat ditzy, undernourished starlet. Full Disclosure: Read more →
One person can only cover so much of London Fashion Week, so check out The Daily, from the Rubbish team, for runway highlights, cooking class with Richard Nicoll, backstage photos, Somerset House street style & more.

It’s usually covered by a model, sometimes a designer or last year even Glenn O’Brien as the face of Interview‘s mess. But Read more →
It’s been a lonely month here at Fashionista and we’re so excited to have Abby Gardner on board! I might be shy, but she’s a totally open book – so if you want to know where she’s been and what she’s done up until now, read on for a mini-Life With in which she answers Read more →
The lingo of fashion is hard to master, especially when it comes to oxymorons. There’s “low high heel,” “jolie laide,” and “alligator skin” (uh, hello, they’re not warm blooded and therefore have no skin…). And now there’s one more: “Daily Weekly.” It’s the new branch of Fashion Week Daily, the IMG publication with the website, Read more →
Another to add to the non-speculation ring: Worshippers of pure glamour, fear not. Marchesa is most definitely holding their Fashion Week presentation. It’ll take place, like last season, at the Chelsea Art Museum on Wednesday, February 18th. The very formal presentation takes place the same day as Oscar de la Renta’s twin shows. So basically, Read more →
