Three East Village Shops with Coats to Die Faux

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

Inspired by Kate Lanphear lauding the East Village as her shopping stomping grounds, I plucked my bum up off the interwebs and hit the road. I dropped myself off on E. 9th Street and journeyed eastbound and up. What struck my fancy in a few stores in particular were the awesome caliber of faux fur jackets, which usually just strike me as faux pas. In case you don’t have a few thou to spend on a few animals’ worth of jacket, try these real life finds in these fantastic indie boutiques.

Kate Lanphear on Fav “Fierce Ass” Jewelry Designer & Elle Interns with Sweaters on their Heads

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

Kate Lanphear was the toast of Burberry Soho Wednesday night. The formidable Style Director of Elle stood stunning, as bloggers and industry darlings mingled, champagned and hardly touched the bite sized English fare that circulated. Fish’n'chips? Burberry, please! How are we supposed to talk to anyone? Perhaps I’m slightly sour at not winning this Burberry bag in the Instagram contest, but I’m more jazzed that I got to chat with the fearsome Lanphear. First things first, I lusted over her ring. And then she let me in on her favorite “fierce ass bitch” jewelry designer.

Somehow Kate Lanphear always manages to look like that bitch in high school who was so painfully bad ass you just wished she’d put a cigarette out on you face and fuck you… No? Just Me? Okay. I’ll get some help…prudes…

We here at FashionIndie have an unnatural love for Elle editor Kate Lanphear. We knew we weren’t crazy in our secret crushing.

According to a former intern, Kate Lanphear is the nicest editor at Elle. She tells the Post, “All the interns wanted to be her and probably still do.” The editor also treated her underlings like real, sustenance-needing human beings: “She is honestly one of the nicest people that I’ve met in the industry … She kept us really late one night, so she brought us in pizza and sodas. Most other editors merely just stare at you or don’t acknowledge your existence at all.”
