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.

Jefferson Hack Announces Monthly "Digital Cover Star" Concept for Another Magazine

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.
