Lauren Sherman

Since we started FashionIndie.com back in 2006 we’ve been addicted to the rants and reviews on Fashionista.com, an online source of all things girlie in the world of fashion, and we’re not alone. With tens of thousands of daily visitors, the site has become a daily go-to for the best in fashion. 

Fashion Editor, Lauren Sherman talks to Fashion Indie about her typical day, tells us which model she’d do the nasty with, why she loves 13-year old blogger Tavi, and her thoughts on the future of Alexander McQueen.

What’s the day in the life of a Fashionista like?

Everyday is different, but generally, I get up in the morning, go to a breakfast meeting and make it into the office by 9.30 or 10. We (my co-editor Britt Aboutaleb and I) try to have a story up around 10am, post every half-hour until 6 or 7pm, unless there’s breaking news. It’s always a mix of breaking news, analysis on news and bigger features, like Q&As with designers or look book previews.

Would you consider yourself a blogger or an editor?

I’m a writer and an editor who happens to use a blogging tool to get my information out into the world. I don’t think there’s a difference anymore. At least with news sites.

What is the best advice you can give someone who wants to start a fashion blog?

Write about what you love–not about what you think other people want to hear about. If you don’t have a unique, fresh, sincere point of view, nobody’s going to care.

What are your thoughts on the new batch of “celebrity” fashion bloggers like Bryanboy and Tavi?

I think that they’re fantastic. They write essays on personal style–Bryan writes more in a memoir format–which is completely different from what we do, but just as relevant.

Bang, Kill or Marry; Cole Mohr, Jesus Luz, Baptiste Giabiconi…

- Jesus Luz Bang

- Baptiste Giabiconi Kill

- Cole Mohr Marry

What’s been the greatest thing to happen to you since becoming editors on the blog?

Just the fact that I love my job–that I feel fulfilled in my work–is the greatest thing. Not many people can say that.

Bang, Kill or Marry; Uggs, Snuggie, Crocs…

We really loved your comments on McQueen and the progression of his line. If you had to pick a designer or team of designers to replace him who would you choose?

I really believe his design team should lead for a good while. It makes the most sense branding-wise and financially. However, in the future, someone like Pugh could be great. Or a total unknown from Central Saint Martin’s. It has to be someone with a unique vision that also understands McQueen’s vision.

If you had to blog on any other subject besides fashion what would you choose?

Hmm, my life has been all about fashion and writing about fashion since I was 11-years-old, so that’s hard. But I am really into product design.

So there was this one time when I almost cried during New York Fashion Week, and yes I am a 22 year old male so what?I am so so so so so upset that I missed this show. Due to the retarded (f*** being socially acceptable right now this is fashion people), I had to sit on the curb on the verge of tears as Bumsuk Choi showed yet another amazing collection for his brand General Idea. There isn’t a doubt in my mind that this brand is going to blow up tenfold from where it is within the next couple years. Consider me obsessed!

Odyn Vovk ruins my fashion week season after season, but in the best way possible of course. His collections and shows are always so good nothing else compares for the rest of the week. It was also good to see so many friends on the runway too! Congrats to Cole, Ethan, Will and of course designer Austin Sherbanenko.Gallery: RUNWAY: Odyn Vovk Fall 2010

NOTE: I am not one to get star-struck easily. Last night was a major exception.

Looks like Cole Mohr is prepared to grow up. He’s the new face for Valentino Men’s and looks awesome. Can’t wait to see the rest of this campaign which should be hitting magazines this Spring.

Kirby’s current lust object, Cole Mohr get’s down and bright with Vanity Teen. The Texan born model was shot by Per Zennstrom for Vanity Teen. More photos after the jump.

Cole Mohr may be Kirby’s love obsession, but Ash Stymest is 100% my idol. This video of him for Metal Magazine’s #17 issue is really cool. I’ve been considering getting my hair cut similarly to his, what do you think?

There were maybe three shows I went to this Fashion Week that I truly enjoyed, and one of them was General Idea. The Korean brand has really exploded into the United States, and their show that took place at Exit Art a couple days ago was amazing! The collection featured great patterns, solid splashes of color, and some of the best looking gladiator sandels around!

Haven’t seen to much of fashion’s former golden boy this season, but he has been all over the print scene. Here’s his latest for I <3 Fake Magazine.

I’m always surprised at how busy and nutty-acting everyone gets during Fashion Week prep. Everyone is in a huff. I’ve seen a lot of models in Soho, they’re almost all in huffs. Except for the “It” models, you know like Ash and Jethro. I bet they’re never in anything like a huff, they’re only in magazines. Is Cole Mohr still “It”?

Anyway, I got invited to the model casting for Duckie Brown. It made me feel a little special, but whenever I told anyone they sort of laughed. Everyone thought I was trying out to be a model, I wasn’t. Duckie wanted me there to cast models, and pretend to DJ. I really like pretending.

It was self-defeating though. The casting, I mean.  I was the short, pasty, black-clad kid with grandma glasses and bad hair. Everyone around me was 6 foot tall, healthy, fit, and beautiful. It was awful, and amazing. Amazing because they were changing and naked and trying on great clothes.

Two boys I party with came on a go-see. Is that an official term? Go-see? Or did Tyra make that up for America’s Next Top Model? But, right, Jace and Harvey came on a go-see. It was nice seeing them out and about during the day. And I think both of them were cast, because they have amazing walks and are so handsome.

Oh. Did anyone see that Craiglist missed connection from Tuesday? A friend posted it to my Facebook. I think someone I know, a boy, gave a man a blowjob at the Box while his girlfriend watched. It all happened on the balcony, I mean, I must have been a few feet away. Was it you? Tell me the truth. I need the scoop.

I think it’s a good nightlife when things like this can still happen. It reminds me of Studio 54.

It’s so sad that the Ruff Club is ending. I don’t know what else to say. It’s the end of an era, or something. There’s a rumor that Peaches Geldof and Jethro Cave will be there. That they’re going to DJ. I love Nick Cave, and his son Jethro is amazing. I didn’t know that Peaches is still around. Can I have her job? What is her job?

P.S.

I forgot to mention I met Christopher Sauve and Julia Frakes yesterday while creeping Soho with Alex. Chris was the nicest, like so pleasant. Julia was a button, but I kind of think I squeezed her hand too hard. Alex thought her pants were a great Beacon’s find, but of course they were Erin Wasson. Nicollette said Julia was a downtown luminary.

I guess she must be if she’s curating a collection at Screaming Mimi’s for Fashion’s Night Out. I’m jealous, wish I was curating a collection.

Did you know that even the Disney Channel changes its New York programming before and during Fashion Week? I told you, nutty-acting. Everyone.

Check out the Barneys New York Fall 2009 Denim mailer here!

Celebrities-

Rihanna- Ri’s been really stepping it up lately. She’s got a wide range of looks, and is starting to find a world of her own when it comes to her style.

Lady Gaga- Everyone knows she’s crazy. Lady Gaga is definitely changing the views of fashion right now

Taylor Momsen- Are you surprised? You know we love her.

Emma Watson- The young HP actress is growing up! And looking hot at every event, if we do say so ourselves.

The Olsen Twins- They’ve been in the fashion eye for awhile now, and now that they’ve got some of their own lines, they always look awesome.

Zoe Kravitz- Lenny’s daughter! This teen has been making a lot of appearances lately, and looks good!

–

Models-

Chanel Iman- Our favorite model to follow on Twitter. Chanel is so adorable, and has really awesome style

Tallulah Morton- She’s all over the Cobra Snake (in a Cory Kennedy way), and always looking fly.

Cole Mohr- This is for you Kirby.  Cole brought boyish and grunge to the fashion forefront, for models anyway. Plus he’s incredibly handsome, which definitely isn’t a bad thing.

Ethan James- Ethan is being seen more and more on the fashion scene (Milan fashion week, H & M, tons of editorial spreads), and has a similar look to Cole. I actually went to high school with this Ford model, and he’s been the most stylish guy I know since he was 15.

Jethro Cave- Pioneered the half-shaved head. LOVE those hanger tattoos.

–

Fashion Personalities and Party People-

Alexa Chung- Whether she’s dressed to kill or wearing denim cutoffs, Alexa Chung is always on top of her game.

Chloe Sevigny- Great designer, great style icon. I’m in love with her buckle booties, which she is seen wearing a lot, paired with skinny pants or cute dresses. Definitely a hipster style icon.  We know she isn’t exactly under 25, but she’s been around for so long as a stylish designer to know, and like our moms, is one of those women that turn 25 every year for the rest of their lives.

Peaches Geldof- This social always looks gorgeous (as do all the Geldofs), for events or on the street with her fake fiance.

Aaron Kolfage- Fashion Indie’s favorite party host and dear friend, Aaron always looks fierce on Friday nights at Ruff Club. He dresses with such creativity, I haven’t seen anything like it anywhere else. This weekend, Aaron was wearing a giant tulle bowtie with a brooch in the middle, and I was mad jealous. Aaron gives us Midwesterners hope for being incredibly stylish, he’s from Michigan!

Fashion Bloggers-

Pelayo of Kate Loves Me – This guy, and his girlfriend, both have killer style. He wears some of the craziest things I’ve ever seen (including Louis Vuitton mesh tights!), and has perfectly coiffed hair at all times.

Lovisa The Intern- Lovisa Drever is all over Lookbook.nu, but I know her from Waffles + Falafels (who even briefly carried a shirt with her photo on it). She’s got a killer sense of style and can pull anything off, plus adds to the crazy personalities of W + F, who are some of my favorite people.

Six Six Sick Girls- These hosts and bloggers DIY matching outfits for their events, which include everything from red wigs to elbow gloves. They not only have a crazy (and matching) sense of DIY style, they also post some (literally) sick stuff on their blog.

Kirby Marzec- Fashion Indie’s own managing editor, Kirby not only knows everything about every designer, and what’s going to be hot next season, but she also isn’t afraid to pull it off. Whether it’s drop (to the knee) crotch pants, DIY ripped tees, or metal vests, you can be assured that Kirby will wear it, and she’ll wear it damn well.

Jazzi McG- We had a half hour long talk the other day about how much we love Jazzi’s blog, and her style.  A queen of DIYing and always dressed perfectly for the occasion, she’s definitely one to watch.

Tavi of Style Rookie-  Tavi is no rookie, maybe in the way that ‘Rookie of the Year’ becomes a professional baseball player, Tavi dresses better than some veterans of fashion.

Camille of Childhood Flames- Another not-even-legal fashion blogger showing that you don’t have to have a career to be fashionable, this sixteen year old is a pro at mixing designer goods with things we can afford, and is also taking advantage of the DIY world.

Lucas Logan- This 18-year-old from LA is all over the internet, model/blogger (Stylish Kids In Riot)/designer, Lucas is California’s newest ‘It’ Kid, braces and all.

–

Musicians-

Uffie- I mean look at her, in.sane.

The Veronicas- I’ve followed The Veronicas since I was in high school, and their style has definitely evolved into rocker chic. They always look good separately, and even better together, on stage or off, and aren’t afraid to take risks.

While the industry is dominated by doll-faced, lanky females, male models with more classic looks tend to be the most successful. In the midst of a recession, agencies have had to renew older contracts to save money, thusly narrowing the types of men represented. The Cole Mohrs and Ash Stymests, although trendy “image guys,” tend to fall once they’ve been used and seen enough. In addition, those who have been branded to a fragrance campaign tend to endure a low profile in the industry since such campaigns are so publicly widespread.

I’ll admit, it is a bit disheartening to see some of my favorites so low, or even nonexistent, on the list, but based on magazine covers and spreads, advertising campaigns, contracts and runway shows over the past two years, here is Forbes’ most successful male models:

1. SEAN O’PRY

2. MATT GORDON

3. DAVID GANDY

4. DANNY SCHWARTZ

5. GARRETT NEFF

6. OLLIE EDWARDS

7. TYLER RIGGS

8. JON KORTAJARENA

9. TAYLOR FUCHS

10. COLE MOHR

The end of June and beginning of July are of importance to me for one reason: men’s fashion week. Yeah,the tailored suits and spring apparel are nice, but what  I really look forward to is the hours I spend cooing over drop dead gorgeous models. The chiseled jaw. The supple lips. The piercing eyes. I’m like a kid in a candy-store!

But these past two weeks have been less than enjoyable for my model addiction. Is it just me, or are designers and bookers seriously skimping on the man candy this season? What once was a Cole, Ash, Luke and Taylor dominated field is now pillaged with some of world’s less fortunate looking creatures. Is there some sort of repulsive man trend I’m missing the boat on here?

You haven’t seen boys in makeup until you’ve seen the models from John Galliano’s Spring 2010 menswear showing. With an Arabian Nights meets “Lord of the Flies” vibe, the boys were decked out in foliage headgear, covered in tan makeup, painted with facial hair and fake abs, making it hard to recognize even the most famous of models! Even I couldn’t recognize Cole Mohr or Ash Stymest…tis a sad day in the life of Kirby.

A few things you didn’t know about Cole:

Essentially, A(r)mor creates structural body chains, just like Bliss Lau, but at a fraction of the price. While many of Lau’s pieces push the $600+ mark, A(r)mor is just as cool and basically under $200. Loving the Miko piece and how it is a dual necklace and body chain!

Blame it on my creepy, stalker-like alter ego, but I somehow found myself lurking on Cole Mohr’s Facebook fan page in the wee hours of the morning. These photos from Mohr’s younger years are 100% proof that some people never change. Despite the page-boy haircut and his seemingly preppy teenage style, Mohr looks exactly the same, plus or minus a few tattoos. If only we all could retain that “fresh out the womb” face…we’d be living in a world full of models.

Check out more candid photos of Cole Mohr at his Facebook fan group here!

Being the lurk that I am, I can’t help but Google and/or Youtube my favorite models on a weekly (okay, daily…) basis. Cole Mohr was my model prey for the day, and when I stumbled upon Berlin based label, SoPopular‘s, 5 minute video campaign, starring Cole Mohr, for their Fall 2009 collection, I expected the drool to be rolling down my chin.

Yeah, Mohr looked mighty fine, but watching this campaign wasted 5 minutes of my life that I’ll certainly never get back. Here’s a brief synopsis: Still shot of Mohr in sweater #1. Wolf staring. Still shot of Mohr in sweater #2. Wolf laying on floor. Mohr spinning in circles in sweater #3. Wolf yawning. Well, the wolf wasn’t the only one yawning. Come on, where’s the goofy, energetic Mohr that I know and love? Why the hell is there a random wolf in the campaign? I know Mohr was probably an expensive model to book, but random canines don’t really make much sense, now do they?

Please, compare the two videos below. How on earth was Mohr able to keep a straight face in the SoPopular campaign? The only answer: Adderal.

Thanks Charmants!

I’ve decided that the best thing you can do for your blooming business is just hire Cole Mohr to do your lookbooks, because whether it’s that good of a collection or not he’s going to manage to make it look cool. The latest collection from SOPOPULAR is pretty standard looking with the exception of their amazing sashes and belts. The mostly grey pallete has been done to death, and the coats and jackets are good but not great. It really comes down to a good shoot and Cole Mohr that makes me want to own these pieces, and that isn’t a bad thing at all.
