A Preview of W's September Issue - Edward Enninful and Lori Goldstein's First

fashionologie — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 10:49:32 PDT

>> W's September 2011 issue - which marks Edward Enninful's first full issue as the magazine's fashion and style director and Lori Goldstein's as style editor-at-large - doesn't hit newsstands until Aug. 23, but we've got a preview of its innards. Goldstein works with Guinevere van Seenus on a colorful, jewelry-centric spread; Mario Sorrenti captures Sasha Pivovarova and Freja Beha Erichsen in a comic book-bright piece; and Edward Enninful transforms Kristen Stewart into a bombshell for the issue's cover.

Among the September issue's other highlights: Steven Klein photographs Amber Valletta evolving from 20 to 120 years old with the help of prosthetic makeup; Tim Blanks profiles Phoebe Philo; Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott snap a fetishistic spread - with Lara Stone, Joan Smalls, and Tao Okamoto - inspired by Helmut Newton and The Night Porter; and Enninful, Steven Meisel, and makeup artist Pat McGrath collaborate on "Transformers," featuring models turned into heroines from the past. Think Linda Evangelista as Zizi Jeanmaire, Karen Elson as Judy Garland, Raquel Zimmermann as Babe Paley, and Jessica Stam as Gala Dali.

Lori Goldstein Named W Style Editor at Large

fashionologie — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 09:35:53 PDT

>> Just six weeks after Edward Enninful joined W as fashion and style director, his former colleague at Vogue Italia, Lori Goldstein, has joined the magazine as style editor at large. Goldstein has been a free agent for years, and noted that taking a masthead title and “being more of a part of a magazine, which is something I’ve never done, is very exciting to me.”

She continued: “What’s so great about what I’m doing in being style editor at large it’s kind of like I get to encompass everything I love to do. I’ve always been one of those people that goes back and forth in this business in different ways, so I get to really do great fashion stories with Edward and I’m also going to be working with [editor at large] Lynn Hirschberg and bringing fashion into the element of the actors that we shoot and kind of being the thread through all the different areas.”

Goldstein will work exclusively for W and can't work for competitors (ie other American fashion monthlies) but can work for non-direct competitors like Vogue Italia if given approval by W editor Stefano Tonchi. Tonchi said in a statement: “I have an incredible amount of respect for Lori, and admire her imagination and impeccable taste. Even on a freelance basis, Lori has been an integral part of the new W. She has styled some of our best covers, including Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling, Mia Wasikowska, and January Jones. Given the recent expansion of W’s fashion team, I thought it was the perfect moment in time to formalize this relationship."

With Goldstein now in the W fold, is it possible that her frequent collaborator Steven Meisel might also become a regular contributor to the magazine? “We will see,” she replied coyly.

>> Stylist Lori Goldstein Designs Beaded Jewelry for Fred Leighton -For the first time ever, Fred Leighton has opened its archives to an outside collaboration. The lucky lady who gets the entree? Stylist Lori Goldstein, who started an affordable clothing and accessories line, called LOGO, for QVC last year and frequently does work for Vogue Italia and W. Fred Leighton's creative director, Rebecca Selva, who's collaborated with Goldstein on numerous ad campaigns in the past, apparently just handed over a big bag of beads for Goldstein to work with. The result is a bright, bead-focused 25-piece collection, which retails from $3,500 to $25,000 and features faceted diamonds, Tahitian pearls, vintage glass, sapphires, hand-painted Czechoslovak wooden beads, and a Victorian crystal heart.

Cate Blanchett Shares Her Beauty Obsession and Love of Fashion With W Magazine

coutorture — Mon, 17 May 2010 08:10:58 PDT

Cate Blanchett appears on the June cover of W magazine wearing an Yves Saint Laurent Edition silk satin bustier, styled by Lori Goldstein and photographed by Craig McDean. Inside the magazine, on newsstands May 25, the 41-year-old actress discusses her theater company and raising three boys, but it is in the article's outtakes that we find her views on fashion and beauty:

On her attitude toward fashion: "I love it. I don't spend my life worshipping it, but I love beautiful things. I don't really think about 'my aesthetic.' It's eclectic I guess. I'm interested in juxtaposing the unexpected."

On her favorite beauty aid: "Dry shampoo. It has changed my life."

Clockwise from left: Edition by Erin Fetherston woven blouse with floral belt $49 QVC, Kenneth Jay Lane KJL fanciful feather cuff bracelet $255 QVC, LOGO by Lori Goldtsein stretch twill military jacket with ruffle $108 QVC, Edition by Erin Fetherston trench Coat with box pleat hem $111 QVC, Loulou de la Falaise suede fringed belt $44 HSN, Loulou de la Falaise suede lace-up bootie $69 HSN.

Shopping online feels as natural as purchasing in-store, but buying clothes from a TV-based retailer still seems a little unconventional. Designers, however, are increasingly venturing onto the small screen to hawk their wares. Isaac Mizrahi, always one to explore new ways of getting products to customers, inked a deal with QVC over the Summer, while Naeem Khan is set to debut his premiere collection for HSN on October 28. We took a quick look at some HSN and QVC products that are available now, from established designers like Erin Fetherston and Kenneth Jay Lane.

Bally Sticks With Christy Turlington for Fall 2009 Ad Campaign

fashionologie — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 11:37:56 PDT

>> For Fall 2009, Bally stuck with the same team as Spring 2009 - Mario Sorrenti photographing Christy Turlington and Oriol Elcacho, this time styled by Lori Goldstein in a darker, more sophisticated light - because as Creative Director Brian Atwood put it, "For me Christy is simply the perfect Bally woman; graceful, intelligent, and natural; she exudes a sophisticated ease; her sensual beauty is perfectly complimented by Oriol's strong and confident presence. Both Christy and Oriol are wonderful to work with; consummate professionals who allow the process to flow so seamlessly, it is difficult to call it work." If rumors are to be believed, he'll be sharing Christy with Yves Saint Laurent this season, because Stefano Pilati thought she was the consummate YSL woman.

Maiyet - Now Available Online

Christina Perez — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 20:15:20 PDT

>> Old world tradition meets new world luxury in Maiyet. The brainchild of human rights lawyer Paul van Zyl, social entrepreneur Daniel Lubetzky, and fashion industry veteran Kristy Caylor, Maiyet merges the talents of traditional artisans from all over the globe with the kind of high-end design aesthetic and attention to detail not normally associated with socially-conscious clothing.

"We are pioneering a new luxury by celebrating the rare and unexpected - rare skill sets from unexpected places. So we incorporate old traditions in untraditional ways, and in doing so we promote entrepreneurship, prosperity, and dignity in the places that need it most," Caylor explains. That means block prints from Jaipur, hand embroidery from India, metal work from Nairobi, and leather craft from Italy are all carefully developed with the original artisans - and then integrated into a modern collection of ready-to-wear, jewelry, shoes, and handbags.

Now the line - first launched in Paris for Spring 2012 - has just landed in the US, exclusively at Barneys. An up-close look at pieces from the collection ($595–$2,400) - plus a peek at the entire Cass Bird-lensed ad campaign starring Daria Werbowy and styled by Lori Goldstein - here, in the slideshow.
