Last night we went to the NYC premiere of About Face: Supermodels Then and Now, which you can catch on July 30 at 9pm on HBO. Besides everything we learned from the models on the red carpet before the premiere, the documentary itself was really eye-opening. The models were frank and forthcoming about their experiences Read more →
Vogue and the CFDA have assembled another promising bunch of young labels to compete for a chance to win the coveted CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund this year. As usual, the 10 finalists represent various aesthetics, categories, and levels of prominence. Some may be more well-known than others, but given the number of applicants those judges have Read more →
The winner will receive a cash prize and mentorship from an industry veteran. Joseph Altuzarra took home the top prize ($300,000) for 2011, while runners up Pamela Love and Creatures of the Wind got $100,000 each. All three of them got to design a capsule collection for J. Crew. And, it was all documented on a Hulu show.
Now, the following designers will embark on a series of challenges over the next few months, including presenting to a panel of judges, creating a one-of-a-kind piece for Tiffany & Co., and staging a runway show in Los Angeles at the Chateau Marmont. The winner and runners up will be announced at a gala dinner November 13. So, without further ado, the finalists are…
Avoid Falling Into The Fast Fashion Fray: The author of Overdressed schooled us in smart shopping, offering advice on how to steer clear of fast fashion and preaching the value of quality goods.
The September Issues: It may only be July, but that hasn’t stopped big-name glossies from releasing info on their September cover stars. Check out some of the surprising choices.
Critics Weigh In On Kate Upton: Since appearing on the cover of GQ, Kate Upton has created quite a stir among those in the fashion world. She’s not rail thin like most models, which has led some to call her fat. Go weigh in on the debate.
Quelle surprise! The lovely Marion Cotillard is covering not one, but two Vogue issues in August–the US edition, which we first revealed yesterday, and now the cover of Vogue Paris. The two covers are strikingly different, though, given the cover girl, are equally jolie. The US cover sees the French actress, who stars in the Read more →
It’s that time of year again. Nope, we don’t mean Comic Con–we’re talking about September glossy cover reveals. September issues are traditionally the cash cows for any fashion mag, and whoever graces the cover can make or break that month’s sales. Today WWD revealed a slew of covers–and we’ve added some reveals of our own.
Overall it’s not a very surprising list.
So, looks like we were right after all. Two weeks ago we reported a rumor that French actress Marion Cotillard would be covering Vogue‘s August 2012 issue, and now, voila! Here is Cotillard looking sultry and chic on the cover of the famed women’s glossy. While we’ve yet to peep the cover in high-resolution–nor get Read more →
Back in the 90s, Shalom Harlow was everywhere–from Chanel campaigns to couture, she was one of the supers, (along with Kate Moss, Karolina Kurkova, Amber Valetta et al) and a particular favorite of the fashion set. In the early 2000s, she still worked steadily and added the “slash actress” to her resume, appearing in films Read more →
The new Vogue health initiative kicked into high gear this month, an excellent–albeit belated–move on the magazine’s behalf. All 19 editions have hit newsstands, so it’s time to see if Vogue is practicing what they preach. Each month we’ll be following up on the initiative’s most trackable and divisive tenet: age. Vogue has vowed not Read more →
When Kate Upton and her assets jiggled onto the scene dancing the Dougie on YouTube (and then the Cat Daddy for Terry Richardson), lots of people (like Victoria’s Secret) were quick to dismiss her as a flash-in-the-pan bit of T&A. Turns out Kate has higher fashion aspirations than just teeny bikinis–but can she pull it Read more →
American Vogue may be getting an injection of that famous French je-ne-sais-quoi soon. We hear from a reliable source that French actress Marion Cotillard will cover the magazine’s August 2012 issue.
Cotillard is set to star in July’s sure-to-be-blockbuster Batman-sequel The Dark Knight Rises, and has a handful of other projects booked for later in the year, including critically-acclaimed French film Rust & Bone, set to hit US theaters in November. So, she seems like a pretty natural choice for the Vogue cover and even though this is still just a rumor, it isn’t too hard to believe. Cotillard also covered Vogue‘s July issue back in 2010–so we guess the actress has summer appeal for the magazine.
How amazing has Emma Stone been looking lately? Pretty darn amazing, if you ask us. And apparently we aren’t the only ones who think so. Stone has landed herself three (three!) major magazine covers this summer, which are all on newsstands now, including not one, but two Vogue covers (if you count Teen Vogue–which, for Read more →
