Note The Nudity: Karlie Kloss, Mario Testino, And Other Inappropriate Comments

Nicole Vardo — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 05:16:22 +0000

Let’s just say that Karlie Kloss posing almost in the nude for Allure Magazine’s October 2011 issue (keyword almost) is really stirring things up- Especially with Fashion Copious’ quote “No agent/agency should [any longer] allow their girls to be shot by [Mario] Testino” offending quite a few people. Along with Fashionista.com and Vanity Fair all being under the spell of shock. Then again let’s face it.. if you were Karlie Kloss -who by the way is the answer to all modeling prayers and yes, only nineteen years old (which really means like 30 in modeling years) you would be all over this shoot. What’s more offensive, the Mario Testino quote or the Kloss nudity?

*UPDATE: Fashion Copious has amended the statement: “What I meant was that Testino is a lazy photographer that lacks a point of view at this stage of his life. And hence am surprised that he’s being hired and paid handsomely for his [currently] shitty work.”

That said, behold the stunning Karlie Kloss.

Rebecca Minkoff To Open Her Own Store

Last night, Fashionista.com hosted a panel of New York based designers and retailers who spoke about their entry into the fashion industry, and how they’re surviving. Rebecca Minkoff was like the class president — she’s come along way since interning and she announced last night that she’s actively looking for a space for her own store.

“We have the clothes and shoes and the bags so we’re ready. But it won’t just be my stuff…there’ll be things I love that I find on my travels,” she explained. “It’s very exciting for me because I get to be a buyer now!”

Based on the widespread popularity of her bags we’d peg her for the Soho or West Village type, but like pointed out last night, she likes to do things differently. (She used to go on the Purse Forum years ago, before blogs were a blip on anyone’s radar, and interact with her customers.) So we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled in the East Village, or even Brooklyn.

INTERVIEW: Lauren Sherman, Editor of Fashionista.com

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.

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.

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.

FakeKarl Takes On Fashionista.com

Saynt — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 16:48:38 +0000

So glad when I’m not the one involved in a Blog War. Fake Karl Lagerfeld, the writer of Karl Lagerfeld’s Guide to Life seems to have some beef with the lovely ladies at Fashionista.com. Fake Karl went on a bit of a tirade this morning with the following tweets…

fakekarl: Frankly, there’s more tools at fashionista dot com than in a hardware store (and hardware stores smell better)

fakekarl: I can’t believe anyone into fashion reads fashionista dot com, really

Don’t know what the girls did to Fake Karl, or if he’s just venting, either way, read FashionIndie.com, at least our tools get the job done.
