fashionologie — Fri, 29 Oct 2010 14:36:30 PDT

>> Kate Moss seems to have gotten more web-savvy recently: in the last week, it was announced that she'll be judging a contest for Polyvore, and on Wednesday, she started a two-week stint of posting things she loves to Another's website - picks so far have included the novel Geek Love by Katherine Dunn, the 1987 film Withnail and I, and her fragrance, Muse.

But this newfound interest in the Web doesn't mean Moss is giving up her bread and butter: print. Moss, who attended the most recent Christian Dior show, is rumored to be the face of an upcoming Parfums Christian Dior lipstick campaign.

fashionologie — Fri, 14 May 2010 12:46:18 PDT

>> Just a couple of weeks ago, Jefferson Hack told The Business of Fashion: “The old media model is a frozen moment in time; a monthly magazine, a seasonal trend - it’s over. Digital culture is a constant stream. Either you adapt to it, or you are a dinosaur and you will die.” He added: “This is a new era of digital beauty.”

In light of his recent comments - and in efforts to put his money where his mouth is - Hack's bi-annual Another announced via statement today that Charlotte Gainsbourg is the magazine's first "Digital Cover Star," in an effort to "transform the concept of the magazine cover star for the web."

Every month, a new "Digital Cover Star" is planned »

Katie Grand to Make Conde Nast a Little Grander

fashionologie — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 10:21:14 PDT

>> Katie Grand may be in the midst of styling Spring 2009 shows, but she's got another exciting project in the works. As rumored, she is leaving POP - which she founded in 2000 - to start up a new biannual high-end fashion magazine for Conde Nast UK.

Though the magazine is untitled and much is still to be decided, Grand promises the move is a good one: "I can't wait to get started. I feel the time is ready for a new magazine, a new arena for new ideas. This time we'll have a larger format, bigger budgets and broader horizons than ever before." The bigger budget may have been the main reason for the move - Katie has said in the past that for POP shoots, "Often the photographers are using their own money."

Nonetheless, she has plenty of experience founding a magazine - she helped launch Dazed & Confused and Another Magazine before POP. The new title hits newsstands in March, and as for the future of POP . . . no one has spoken to that.

Jenna Lyons, Husband Vincent Mazeau Rumored to Be Divorcing

fashionologie — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 07:12:49 PDT

>> Jenna Lyons, J.Crew president and creative director, 43, and her artist husband, Vincent Mazeau, 45, split this Summer and are in the midst of a divorce, the New York Post reports.

The couple, who have been married since 2002, are said to have reached a custody agreement over their 5-year-old son, Beckett, and are reportedly ironing out an agreement in which Mazeau may keep their Park Slope brownstone, which has been featured in numerous magazines.

In addition to the house, Mazeau is said to be asking for a sizable settlement, Page Six reports: "arguing that he gave up aggressively pursuing his career as an artist to stay at home and allow her to develop her successful career. But a friend of Lyons said she supported [Mazeau] as an artist, bought him a studio, and gave him a life where he didn’t have to work every day."

Lyons is rumored to have fallen in love with another woman who also works in the fashion business after the split, according to Page Six, although a J.Crew spokesperson told the paper: "We do not comment on our associates' private lives."

Critics' Sharp Tongues - Cathy Horyn on Nicolas Ghesquiere; Robin Givhan on Zac Posen

fashionologie — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 08:30:43 PDT

>> 'Tis the season for fashion critics to sharpen their pencils - and, so it seems, do the same with their words. Both Cathy Horyn and Robin Givhan have some choice thoughts on Nicolas Ghesquiere and Zac Posen, respectively.

Horyn writes in the New York Times: "The fact is, some forms just become worn out ... though he is not a showman, there is a growing impatience with Nicolas Ghesquiere. His experimental treatment of materials at Balenciaga has been exciting to behold, and necessary, but more and more the effect is like jumping on a spring-shot mattress. What happened to the cool street chic of Mr. Ghesquiere of a decade ago, when you actually saw women wearing his clothes? People who followed his career from the start probably appreciate his technical leaps and are willing to indulge him for the sake of creative freedom and the sheer hope of being knocked off their chairs ... But I suspect that our extremely materialistic culture, with the grab-and-go mentality fostered by the Web, just makes new fans itch for something to wear."

And Robin Givhan tells Page Six Magazine of Zac Posen: “Zac reminds me of another era in fashion. He’s a maestro. It reminds me of a time when there was an embrace of fashion as this fun, entertaining industry. He’s got a lot more competition now. [Early on in his career] he was one of only a few young guns. But people like Jason Wu have cut into a lot of the razzle-dazzle that he once owned. When you burn that white hot, eventually you burn out. That overwhelming hotness has cooled off.”
