Rumor: Alex White Leaves W

We just got a tip from a very reliable source that W's revered fashion director Alex White resigned this afternoon. According to the source, White has left to focus on freelance projects. If it's true it's shocking news, and a shame. White has been at W since 1994 and stuck around through all the recent changes at the high fashion glossy--namely the installment of Stefano Tonchi as EIC and she just launched the delightful blog Alex White Edits (though it hasn't been updated since March 23). We've reached out to W for confirmation and will update with any news. If you know anything write to us at tips@fashionista.com.

Candice Huffine On Her W Editorial, Padding and 'Being Called Just a Model' (Not Plus)

First it was Crystal Renn, then Marquita Pring, and now Candice Huffine is the latest plus model poised to break the mold. She recently landed the cover of Vogue Italia, a milestone considering the cover featured three plus-size models without designating them as "curvy" or "plus," and makes a stunning appearance in W's September issue. Just this morning, W's new fashion director Edward Enninful Tweeted "I am loving Candice Huffine @FordModels @models. So beautiful xoxo," which makes us think we might be seeing Huffine in another issue of W in the near future. We chatted with the model on the rise about her recent successes, her take on size in the fashion industry, and whether she's ever had to pad for jobs. Fashionista: How does it feel to be in the all-important September issue for the fashiony-est of mainstream glossies, W? What was the shoot like? When the shock of the shoot wears off maybe I can express what I'm feeling! It's just beyond special and I feel honored to have been chosen and everyday I shake my head and giggle a little at how much has changed for me recently. Like Vogue, shooting with Meisel and his team is like a fairy tale...the most beautiful clothing, the nicest people, a calm set where you just know the end product is going to be nothing short of spectacular. I feel so lucky. And how did it feel to land the cover of Vogue Italia--especially without any modifiers like "curvy issue"?
