Preview Alexander Wang's Two New Fall 2010 Campaigns

fashionologie — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 12:38:04 PDT

>> Alexander Wang had not one, but two ad campaigns come out today. The first - a follow-up to his premiere T campaign last season featuring Hannah Holman - is a portrait of his friend Zoe Kravitz alongside model Max Motta, which just like last season will be plastered on the streets of New York starting tomorrow.

And the second, something new for Wang: his first-ever main line campaign video, a collaboration with Craig McDean, Wang's show stylist Karl Templer, and Fabien Baron, featuring Abbey Lee Kershaw in a deserted Manhattan hotel. “This is our way to sum up the season in a different light other than the show,” Wang told WWD. “It’s abstracted . . . Rather than saying, ‘Here’s the product,’ this is more about expressing ourselves.”

Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld Launches First Photography Exhibit

fashionologie — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 13:28:11 PST

>> Last night marked the opening of Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld's Louis Vuitton-sponsored, curated exhibit of three photographers and close friends of his - PC Valmorbida (boyfriend of Theodora Richards), David Mushegain and Salim Langatta. Both the party and after-party at Indochine (a Roitfeld favorite) were super crowded - the latter hit capacity and saw Carine Roitfeld dancing on the restaurant's banquettes. Sister Julia, girlfriend Lily Donaldson, and godfather Mario Testino were all in attendance, as were a number of other fashion folk - Lara Stone, Erin Wasson, Gisele Bundchen. And Carine was proud of her son's current career choice - according to Vladimir, it was his parents who pushed him to move to the US - "I don't know if he will do more shows or film, but when you try to produce things, it's a hard hard job, and I'm very proud of him. I'll be very happy if he becomes successful."

fashionologie — Mon, 03 May 2010 13:55:49 PDT

>> It's only a couple more hours until the pictures from tonight's "American Woman"-themed Costume Institute Gala red carpet start rolling in, but already, there are plenty of dress confirmations - and one performer confirmation, in the form of Lady Gaga. Without further ado, the running list (which will be updated until the photos hit) of who's wearing what, below.

The list »

First Look: Stefano Tonchi's September 2010 W

fashionologie — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 09:56:35 PDT

>> Stefano Tonchi's W revamp involves a new italic logo; a new tagline - "it’s not just women’s fashion, but the world of style and, more exactly, our five Ws: the who, the what, the where, the when and the why in the world of style"; and a new direction - "It’s more about fashion in the context of contemporary culture."

The September 2010 issue, which gives a first look at Tonchi's front to back W makeover, features up-and-coming actresses Kat Dennings (Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, Kenneth Branagh's upcoming Thor), Jessica Chastain (Terrence Malick's upcoming The Tree of Life), Yaya DaCosta (The Kids Are All Right, Tron: Legacy), Greta Gerwig (Greenberg), Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World), Jennifer Lawrence (Winter's Bone, the upcoming X-Men: First Class), Emma Roberts, and Zoe Kravitz in three triple-page foldout covers, which according to Tonchi the magazine has never done before, photographed by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. The main cover headline reads "Great Expectations" because Tonchi "wanted to have some self-irony, because there are so many expectations about what this W will be," and Lynn Hirschberg's name is listed on the cover because Tonchi "want[s] to put writers’ names on the cover. The content - the writers - are going to have a strong place in the magazine."

>> W Filming September Issue Documentary -Don't expect another The September Issue out of it, but W has had cameras around its offices, filming a documentary on the making of its September 2010 issue (which also happens to be Stefano Tonchi's first full issue as editor). The September cover is said to feature a group of young Hollywood starlets and relative unknowns, among them Emma Roberts, Zoe Kravitz, and Jennifer Lawrence (star of 2010 Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner Winter's Bone), and the film will be for Internet only, according to a W spokeswoman. It's set to launch sometime in late October on the W website. [The Cut, The Cut]

A Look at Stefano Tonchi's First W Cover - For August 2010; Plus, September Issue Cover Choices

fashionologie — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 09:58:51 PDT

>> Although Stefano's Tonchi first full front-to-back issue of W doesn't come out until September, the magazine's August 2010 cover brings a first look at what's to come. Tonchi has brought his taste for featuring lesser-known actors and actresses to W - his first cover features Mad Men's Jon Hamm and Rebecca Hall (who costars with Hamm in Ben Affleck's upcoming crime drama The Town), shot by lesser-known photographer Nathaniel Goldberg (the W of yesteryear largely featured cover photos by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, Steven Klein, and their ilk).

Coachella Spawns Slimane Sighting, New York Times Fashion Shoot

fashionologie — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 12:13:35 PDT

>> Crowds will always flock to Indio for Coachella, and over the weekend, the fashion flock was well-represented. Agyness Deyn was photographed mid-smooch, confirming speculation that she has moved on from ex-fiance Albert Hammond, Jr. with Phantom Planet's Alex Greenwald and cementing her status as another British model with a thing for musicians.

Henry Holland, in town to pal around with Agy and see the shows, spotted Hedi Slimane "wandering around with a camera in all black." Yesterday morning, Slimane was still in town, scouting and taking breakfast at the newly-opened Ace Hotel in nearby Palm Springs. Also going down at the Ace over the weekend, a New York Times fashion shoot with photographer Sebastian Kim, which must be for an upcoming T magazine.

Alexander Wang, in LA to launch his shop-in-shop for Opening Ceremony that will feature exclusive merchandise involving fur and exotic skins starting in the Fall, hit Coachella in a Land Rover with Zoe Kravitz; Jeremy Scott and Daisy Lowe also made festival appearances.
