Living The Brand: Jenna Lyons Inspired

coutorture — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 10:59:28 PST

Home of Jenna Lyons, Creative Director of J Crew

Jane patterned calf-hair ballet flats $258 - J.Crew

Stretch Wool Pinstripe Two-Button Jacket $248 - J.Crew

White denim matchstick jean $110 - J.Crew

We came across a photo editorial with J Crew's Creative Director, Jenna Lyons, and it inspired us to get really postmodern and make a spread of J Crew clothing inspired by the photos. Lyons' home, featured in Domino magazine, fits the new J Crew aesthetic perfectly and we think it's only this kind of synthesis that could help a mainstream brand have such a wonderful comeback. From her work at J. Crew to her Brooklyn home, we are big Lyons fans.

>> We know a lot about how designers work, socialize, and even think, but with the exception of Marc Jacobs, we don't know a lot about how they live. That's where Domino's September 2008 fashion issue comes in — its various stories offer peeks into what might be considered a top designer's last sacred bastion — their home.

Featured within are the favorite rooms of Christian Louboutin (his bedroom in Portugal) and Francisco Costa (his garden in Bellport, NY), plus Yves Saint Laurent's famous Majorelle Gardens in Morocco, Vanessa Bruno's Paris apartment, Matthew Williamson's London home, and Sonia Rykiel in her Paris living room.

So, do their design aesthetics match their living quarters? A few peeks below will give you a hint . . .

Stefano Tonchi to Redesign W for September 2010 Issue; T Editor Search Under Way

fashionologie — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 12:37:42 PDT

>> When Stefano Tonchi was announced as W's new editor-in-chief yesterday, he said he only began talking with Conde Nast about the position last week. But WWD reports that Tonchi had been looking to leave T for more than a year, and was lobbying hard for a senior position at Conde Nast as well as looking at the possibility of a high-level position at Hearst or Time Inc.

Big changes for W under Tonchi are expected, and although he emphasized that the transition will be smooth - “Nothing is going to be traumatic. I don’t think there is any rush to make a revolution. It’s an evolution, it’s not a revolution” - those at the top of the W masthead - creative director Dennis Freedman, deputy editor Julie Belcove, and fashion director Alex White - are said to be in vulnerable positions.

White was reportedly interested in the editor gig »

The Interview Situation, Laid Out in Full

>> Interview has had a major case of rotating door syndrome in the last month or so. While its owner, Peter Brant, is in the midst of a messy divorce with Stephanie Seymour, editorial director Glenn O'Brien has been replaced by his former co-editorial director, Fabien Baron, who was allegedly fired from the magazine last Fall for going over budget; Michael Amzalag and Mathias Augustyniak of M/M Paris, who were brought in to replace creative director Karl Templer when he left alongside Fabien Baron last Fall, are now leaving the magazine so that Templer can come back (and also because they were supposedly owed three months pay plus expenses); editor-in-chief Christopher Bollen is being pushed out as editor-at-large so that executive editor Stephen Mooallem, who has been at the magazine for six years, can be installed as editor; and fashion director Joe McKenna is also rumored to be leaving. On top off all that, O'Brien is now being sued by Interview for giving interviews after his departure, violating a non-disclosure agreement he says he didn't sign.

So what exactly is going on? »

>> INSIDER WIRE -Hamish Bowles, who accompanied Marisa Bensen to Monday's Costume Institute Gala, crowned Shalom Harlow his favorite of the night and in the meantime set the record straight on her showstopper of an outfit: "the golden apple would have to be presented to Shalom Harlow, wearing a billowing black taffeta domino created by Bob Mackie in the eighties, over Olivier Theyskens’s black and scarlet beaded catsuit for [Nina] Ricci."

>> THE MODELIZER -The rash of model falls in Milan continues - at Emilio Pucci yesterday, Angela Lindvall fell not once, but twice - something that has never before happened in her modelling career. Karlie Kloss helped her up the first time she fell, but the same thing happened again during the finale, causing a domino effect among the procession. [Telegraph, Grazia]
