>> Rumor Mill: The Face Relaunch; LVMH Looking to Acquire a Designer? —It circulated earlier this year that Bauer Media is aiming to revive The Face sometime next year in a new format — digital-only, a free magazine, or a subscription-only title.  It was never confirmed, but now supposedly rumors are picking back up.  Also food for thought: a LVMH executive just Twittered, "Dinner with a designer who we might acquire."

Ashley Olsen, Robin Givhan, and Isaac Mizrahi Talk Skinny Models, Celebrity Designers, and Runway Diversity

Thu, 10/22/09 — 10:51:36 AM

>> Last night at the 92nd Street Y in New York, Ashley Olsen, the Washington Post's Robin Givhan, and Isaac Mizrahi gathered to chat with Glamour's Cindi Leive about the "Future of Fashion."  Ashley, dressed in a long dress — a production sample from The Row — told Glamour backstage: "I'm actually not very comfortable with public speaking, and that was something I told myself I'd work on — getting out more and doing some public speaking."

Her "number one teammate," sister Mary-Kate, and boyfriend Justin Bartha were in the audience to cheer her on as she doled out tidbits like The Row's clients are an average age of 50, she thinks girls with small budgets who want to be fashionable should shop vintage, and she loves her Toms shoes: "So comfortable." Isaac Mizrahi helped keep the tone light — at one point, he took of his shoes to show off his toes, painted a "day-glo pumpkin" color, but the panel did delve into some heavy topics.

>> Teen Vogue Working on New TV Show Teen Vogue ducked out of their The Hills partnership more than a couple of seasons ago, but from what Amy Astley told FIDM students in Los Angeles Monday, it sounds like magazine isn't done with television — they're working on a new show.  No further details were given, but it sounds like the show won't center around Amy — she also noted during the talk that she didn't appear often on The Hills because “I don’t want to be a media personality. I’ve seen people laughed off Madison Avenue for taking the reality star route, it can really backfire." [Jazzi McG]
