Jay Fielding

Last night, Hearst held an intimate Q&A session with its newest staff member: Carine Roitfeld, they glossy's new Global Fashion Director. Harper’s Bazaar US editor-in-chief Glenda Bailey intro’ed Roitfeld, while Town and Country’s Jay Fielden asked the questions. In a tight-fitting grey dress, sky-high Alaïa boots, and a Miu Miu mink stole, Roitfeld indulged Fielden’s questions--deftly addressing everything from Vogue rivalries, aging gracefully, “the Internet” (Roitfeld’s newest obsession), and that now iconic Gucci campaign she styled with the label’s logo shaved into a model’s pubic hair. Yes, Carine Roitfeld purred the word “pussy” several times last night.

Vogue's creative director and fashion industry icon Grace Coddington is writing a book about her life, reports WWD. Former Men's Vogue editor-in-chief Jay Fielding, who has collaborated with Coddington in the past, is her writing partner. Coddington's mainstream notoriety has skyrocketed since The September Issue, which means the project is sure to be a hit with fashion insiders and fashion admirers alike. The stylist says that the book will not only cover her life--including her years as a model and time spent at Calvin Klein and British Vogue--but also plenty of fashion history.
