Hearst Magazines Bringing $10M Worth of TV Shows to YouTube

Lester Brathwaite — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 12:28:59 +0000

On April 15, Cosmopolitan, Harper’s Bazaar and Marie Claire will make their viral video debut on Hearst Magazine‘s new YouTube channel, Hello Style.

The channel is part of YouTube’s $100 million initiative to produce higher quality content in conjunction with other media companies in an effort to attract bigger and better advertisers who might not be so enamored with videos of dogs doing the darnest things and tweens sincerely singing Adele off-key into their computer screens .

YouTube provided Hearst with $10 million to start-up the channel, but the publisher will determine the content, which will be more plot-oriented than past online media and inspired by its magazine’s print features. So you can look forward to (?) video versions of Cosmo‘s “Sexy vs. Skanky” and Marie Claire‘s “Big Girl in a Skinny World.”

Seriously. Hello BadIdea.

Hearst is also launching a Car and Driver channel on May 1 to appeal to its man magazine demographic that will feature a mix of service and reality shows such as Driver Rehab and Battle of the Beaters. The latter, to my chagrin, is not about the joys of self-service but about two auto body shops competing to fix up old cars.

Why they didn’t call it Jalopy Seconds I’ll never know. [AdWeek]

Extreme Beauty: Outrageous False Eyelashes

Amanda Gabriele — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 21:00:17 +0000

Everyone knows mascara is a girl’s best friend, so it’s no secret that adding a little length to your eyelashes makes a world of a difference. When it comes to falsies, there are the natural, that may fool some, and the extreme – those beautifully bedazzled and feathers styles that will fool no one. We obviously love outrageous, theatrical beauty here at FashionIndie, so the faker the better when it comes to lashes. Here are some of the craziest, most flamboyant pairs we’ve seen.

The Ladies Who Hunch: The Best and Worst Selling Cover Girls (and Boys) of the Year

Lester Brathwaite — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 14:37:44 +0000

Some gals got it and some gals would sell their first born just to get it — that “je ne sais quoi”, that “It” factor that makes men want them, women want to be them, and magazine editors want to put them on their covers. But even with that hard-to-categorize quality, the magic can fall short. Some gals can sell a magazine and some gals should stick to their day jobs, starring in movies, recording dance-pop hits and whoring their lives out on basic cable. Assembled here are the biggest winners and losers of the Great Magazine Cover War of 2011.

Link Love: WWD

Winner: Sarah Jessica Parker Her January Elle, August Vogue, and September Marie Claire covers are the 2nd or 3rd bestsellers of each mag this year.

Loser: Justin Bieber His Vanity Fair cover is the lowest selling issue since Graydon Carter took over in 1992. Rolling Stone, Teen Vogue and People similarly bombed.

Winner: Lady Gaga Mother Monster's Vogue cover was Anna Wintour's second best-selling issue, while her March Harper's Bazaar is Glenda Bailey's third top performer.

Loser: Lady Gaga However, no one wants to see a pared-down, bare-faced Gaga and the October issue of Bazaar is its third worst performer.

Winner: Mila Kunis A breakout year for the actress delivered GQ's biggest-selling issue from August and a 15% increase for a struggling W with her March cover. A turn on Cosmopolitan and a shared cover with Justin Timberlake on Elle in August also proved to be hits.

Loser: Justin Timberlake JT's cover with Mila might have been a hit for Elle, but his W cover with Amanda Seyfried was the mag's 2nd worst seller, while his solo cover for Esquire in October was its worst seller of the year.

Winner: Jennifer Aniston Alleged sexiest woman of all time, Aniston was also Marie Claire's top seller of the year and her November Elle is on track to be one of its biggest hits.

Loser: Michelle Williams The My Week with Marilyn star's Vogue cover and her Marie Claire cover were each mag's second and third worst-performing covers, respectively.

Winner: Kim Kardashian Kim delivered Glamour's bestseller of the year with her February cover, but a lot happened between then and now...

Loser: The Kardashians While Kim's Harper's Bazaar, Self and Lucky covers were mild hits, the January 2012 issue of Glamour featuring sisters Khloe and Kourtney is on track to bomb Bieber-style.

Isaac Mizrahi, Georgina Chapman and Angela Lindvall Hosting Project Runway All Stars

Lester Brathwaite — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 13:01:39 +0000

Just when you thought it was safe to turn on your TV, Project Runway has spawned a secondary series, Project Runway All Stars. While the 10th season of boring, regular PJ Runway starts in June with Heidi Klum, Michael Kors, Nina Garcia and Tim Gunn stepping into their well-worn shoes, PJ Runway All Stars debuts January 5 with new but fashionably familiar faces.

Heidi Klum will be portrayed by Angela Lindvall. The role of Nina Garcia will be played by Marchesa‘s Georgina Chapman. Joanna Coles, editor-in-chief of Marie Claire will star as mentor-in residence Tim Gunn. And returning to the fashion reality competition show stage is Isaac Mizrahi as Michael Kors. Guest judges will include Diane von Furstenberg, Miranda Kerr, Miss Piggy, Pharrell Williams, Nanette Lepore, Rachel Roy, Catherine Malandrino, and Mark Badgley and James Mischka.

The All-Stars in question are past Runway contestants who weren’t quite up to snuff, such as Austin Scarlett, Sweet P, Kara Janx and that much-reviled whiny copycat, Kenley Collins. Personally, I stopped watching Project Runway as soon as it hopped from Bravo to Lifetime, deciding along the way that a season in L.A. was a good idea, but this new spin-off series could bring some much-needed fresh air into the franchise.

The All-Stars will compete for a handsome set of prizes, the most lucrative in Runway history: “an exclusive designer boutique in select Neiman Marcus stores and on neimanmarcus.com; $100,000 in technology and office space to help expand their business from HP and Intel; $100,000 cash from L’Oréal Paris; a feature spread in Marie Claire, for which he or she will serve as a guest editor for one year, and a sewing and embroidery studio provided by Brother International.” Well, at least they made returning to the scene of one’s former and very public embarrassment suitably enticing.

Will you watch Project Runway All-Stars when it premieres January 5 on Lifetime, television for ~~women~~ unemployed gay men? [WWD]

Human After All: Angelina Jolie Shows Her “Silly” Side for Marie Claire

Lester Brathwaite — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 22:01:19 +0000

Angelina Jolie covers the January issue of Marie Claire with her usual sultry stare, but breaks out a few goofy faces — while still looking frustratingly gorgeous — for Alexei Hay‘s camera, proving that beneath that movie star exterior and those brittle bones beats an actual human heart. Or at least a reasonable facsimile.

Alison Edmond handled the styling duties, though according to fashion director Nina Garcia, Edmond didn’t have that much work to do: “[Jolie] is the utter professional,” Garcia told New York Mag. “[She's] opinionated, she knows what she likes and what she doesn’t like…Very simple and classic shapes.” Cut to some Salvatore Ferragamo pajamas, an Elie Saab dress, and a DKNY slip and we’ve got an editorial.

Nailed It: Jenna Hipp

Amanda Gabriele — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 17:55:22 +0000

Over the next few weeks, we are going to look at eight incredible manicurists and their over-the-top art in a new feature called Nailed It. Today’s featured manicurist is Jenna Hipp, a green celebrity nail stylist who works with all the big names in Hollywood from Michelle Williams to Kate Bosworth. Her understated, sophisticated nail art never contains harsh or harmful ingredients and has been featured on more magazine covers than we can count. She has even collaborated with RGB Cosmetics on Hipp x RGB Nail Foundation, with nail colors to match every skin tone. Click through for a gallery of our favorite Hipp designs.

Project Runway All Stars: Judges Announced

Samantha Lim — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 14:49:22 +0000

Fashion’s reigning reality show Project Runway has announced the cast to their spin-off Project Runway All Stars (fashion shriek!). The new Heidi will be played by model Angela Lindvall, supported by two designer judges Isaac Mizrahi and Georgina Chapman. Marie Claire’s editor in chief Joanna Coles will be filling the Tim Gunn role of cast mentor. Just as we so lovingly cheered on the Road Rules All Star challenges of the late 90′s, All Stars will surely tug a heartstring when we see crazy cat fights over thread and the sabotaging of seams via cast members like Sweet P Vaughn, Kenly Collins, and Mondo Guerra. In hopes that the designs are better and the drama bigger, the pot of gold has been upped to $100K in cash, $100K in technology, a boutique in Neiman Marcus, and a spread in Marie Claire magazine. Let the sewing begin!

Fall Behind the Scenes at Gap

Lester Brathwaite — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 12:43:15 +0000

For their fall campaign, Gap won’t be featuring any dancers, models or celebrities; rather, they’re sharing an inside look at their operations and the people who run it all.

Ogilvy & Mather and Cool Hunting created 30 short videos, each 20 to 90 seconds long, profiling members of the Gap 1969 denim studio in Los Angeles, as well as going behind the scenes of the design and manufacturing process.

“Increasingly, people want to know the stories behind the products — who’s designing it, where it comes from,” said Seth Farbman, Gap’s global chief marketing officer. “We recognize that we have to be more open. We had not done enough storytelling about what was new and different at the Gap.”

The videos debut this week at Cool Hunting and Refinery29 followed by sponsored content next week on DailyCandy, FabSugar, Hulu, Pandora and Gap’s Facebook page among other sites.

The print ads will star “real-ish” [read: a half-inch short of model] people in Gap 1969 pants and will run in the September issues of seemingly every mag including Vogue, Elle, Glamour, Nylon, Details, GQ, Rolling Stone, Marie Claire and ESPN. [WWD]

Feeding Our Emma Watson Style Obsession With 10 Amazing Fashion Moments

Hans Feurer back in VOGUE Paris

Benjamin Kanarek — Sat, 16 Apr 2011 13:31:15 +0000

Emmanuelle Alt is writing her own ticket for VOGUE Paris. I was not expecting a fundamental change in the Editorial Direction being that she has been the Fashion Director of the magazine for over ten years and collaborating with Carine Roitfeld. Thus the assumption that there would be little change from the status quo. However, the April 2011 issue of VOGUE Paris gives a clear new direction; bye bye porno chic, provocation, unjustified nudity, welcome softness, lifestyle, casual clothing. Emmanuelle’s approach is more consensual and obviously more commercial, which the fashion customer might find more accessible.

I want to show in French Vogue more and more a lot of clothes … It’s a different point of view, but nobody gave me a mission to change it or make it more commercial. she stressed in her WWD’s interview

Her vision of fashion is also conditioned by the choice of photographer she has decided to collaborate with and thus don’t expect any radical changes in those she has already worked with.

I want to keep the quality, the photographers we work with—David Sims, Mert and Marcus, Mario Testino, and Bruce Weber. I don’t think there should be radical changes. The magazine should still be chic and sophisticated. VOGUE.com interview

There has been one huge surprise however… The Return of Hans Feurer in VOGUE Paris is great news and a welcome change.

Hans Feurer ©DR

Hans Feurer’s style is easily recognizable:

Outdoor shoots, long lenses, grainy film aspect, blurred background, sharp on the model (bokeh effect), sunrise or sunset light and often with the introduction of back light and flare.

This style was in “VOGUE” in the 70′s and 80′s and has come back in to fashion since certain internet bloggers started to photograph street fashion a few years ago. The styling often associated with his photography is ethnic, tribal in wildly natural spaces. However, he can express himself in a more urban environment as he did recently in French VOGUE with Supermodel Anja Rubik.

Anja Rubik by Hans Feurer for VOGUE Paris - April 2011

Feurer, a highly renowned fashion photographer in the 70s and 80s, is Swiss born and studied photography in London. In the ’60s, he became a photographer for British Vogue, Vogue Paris, US Vogue, Marie Claire, French Elle… He photographed most of the major supermodels from Claudia Schiffer to Laetitia Casta with Yasmeen Ghauri, Christy Turlington… He launched Amber Valletta in French Elle Magazine.

Who do you dream to photograph?

- I had the chance to work with the most beautiful women in the world from Pat Cleveland, Christy Turlington to Stephanie Seymour… Kate Moss is the only one that I haven’t photographed. Excerpt of his interview in the Contributor Section of French VOGUE April 2011.

I would add “so Far”… , but I have the feeling that with his statement in the Contributor Section of the magazine, this omission will be repaired quickly enough.

Some of his archives

In the early 60′s, he was assisted by French Photographer Patrick Demarchelier. Hans Feurer is also renowned for his collaboration with Kenzo for several of their Ad Campaigns in the 70′s and 80′s and was well known for his shooting of lingerie and swimsuits in a beach environment. In 1974, he directed the famous Pirelli Calendar.

Over the past few years Hans Feurer is back on track with magazines the likes of Numéro, I-D and VOGUE China, etc…

I really appreciate the fact that Emmanuelle Alt went for the original “Real Deal” photographer rather than one of the numerous copies amongst the younger fashion photographers emulating his and Eddy Kohli‘s style.

What do Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears have to do with Fashion and the Big Celebrity Boom?

Benjamin Kanarek — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 21:14:36 +0000

From Benjamin Kanarek Blog

: Lindsay Lohan © Marie Claire USA

Celebrities and Fashion have always been synonymous. However, today more than ever, fashion magazines are featuring more celebrities than immigrants trying to get into the USA for their Green Card. In many cases these highly regarded magazines are using celebrities more often than Super Models for their covers. There are many reasons for this and in my opinion some of those decisions have more to do with the Politics of Fashion than the notoriety of the Celebrity.

Why is it that some of the Biggy Fashion Mags don’t feature Super Models, but do feature Celebrities from all sectors of the Entertainment Industry? I believe that it is because they can’t get the Super Models for their magazines. In fact their are very few magazines that can get Super Models and find it a lot easier to get Celebrities to adorn the covers of their ELLE’s, Marie Claire’s etc…

It is true that Celebs sell and can attract a large audience, but when it comes to the giants vying for THAT Top Model, that is where only a few of the Biggies like VOGUE, Harper’s BAZAAR, ELLE and a few other more obscure, but none the less important magazines like Numéro, V and perhaps L’Officiel can get on occasion.

: A Fashion Cover with Super Model Constance Jablonski for Harper’s Bazaar Spain – April 2011 © Nico

Of course many would argue that the reason that this or that fashion magazine are shooting Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears or Paris Hilton is because they sell magazines. That may be true, but I am quite sure that if all of the major and lesser influential fashion magazines attempted to compete for the creme de la creme of the modelling industry and could only get models and not celebrities, that the King of the heap would surface really quickly. You would see immediately by the standard of the models acquired who really rules the game.

Thus again the reason why Celebs act as a great draw that diverts the attention from the obvious omission from the covers of “Fashion” Magazines of Top Models. Why would a major fashion magazine want to be judged by their peers and the public based on the fact that so and so was on this magazines cover but not on theirs? Celebs are a kind of “Hey we have Paris on our cover wearing Gucci” and not “Hey we could only get so and so and so and so competitor Fashion magazine knows that we could only get so and so because of you know why…”

I am not saying that celebrities should not be on magazine covers. I am saying that a Fashion magazine should be a Fashion Magazine and not a people magazine. Models are part of the Fashion landscape and I am hoping that we can get back to the epoch where fashion magazines did what they did and did it well and leave the people’s magazines to People Magazine.

There are only very few mags that can pick and choose who they put on the cover and for the right reasons! As a caveat, there are some trendy press magazines that can get top models like Muse, Dazed and Confused, Self Service, I-D and a few others, but that has more to do with other issues that could easily take up at least 3 major blog posts. The business is like a humongous Spanish onion, with more layers of complexity than Einsteins theory of relativity.

And lastly, celebrities seem to be more accessible than agents representing those models most of the fashion magazines would love to get on their covers but won’t. They and their PR people understand that the exposure they garner being seen on the cover of Redbook could aid in them getting their next big part in that 2012 blockbuster “Calender’s End”*

So the next time you see the cover of a magazine with a celeb on the cover, you may want to ask yourself, “Did they because they wanted to, or because so and so didn’t want to”.

What, Miley Cyrus Isn’t Perfect?

Nicole Vardo — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 18:19:13 +0000

” I’m Sorry I never, ever said I was perfect.” says the lovely teen queen Miley Cyrus. She gets to star in her own show about her so-called normal life, rocking different wigs, dating hot older men, and filming youtube videos like no other, especially one in particular, the “salvia” bong. All in all it’s whatever, at least the girl has awesome style.

Victoria Beckham is Pregnant Again. Is Four the Magic Number?

Or are Victoria and David Beckham trying to beat Brad and Angie? The race for the most children is getting tighter as Posh and Becks are expecting their fourth baby.

Obviously, the ridiculously good-looking couple can’t keep their hands off each other.

“We were at a party the other day at my mum’s house and I was sitting on his lap. We’re very affectionate,” Victoria recently told Marie Claire. “And I looked at him and thought after being married for 11 years! We were the only couple who were even near each other at that party. We’re soulmates.”

Awww how fucking cute. I’m sure this kid will be just as gorgeous as the others.

15 Reasons Why Lady Gaga Obviously Wins and Why Taylor Swift Needs To Get Laid

Nicole Vardo — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 20:54:35 +0000

Stephanie Germanotta better known as Lady Gaga the mother monster of this pop-crazed world. Some

might say outrageously influential others just choose plain out wild… which in her case isn’t a bad thing! From wicked accessories, bad girl behavior, and pissing off PITA, it’s safe to say Gaga has been a major influence in this magazine industry helping out by becoming the top-selling magazine covergirl in 2010!

In April her Cosmo spread sold nearly 2 million issues while her machine gun bra nabbed the highest

selling issue for Rolling Stone this year. Not that this should come as a surprise this woman has crossed

A LOT of sweet boundaries. So congrats to Gaga because on the other hand, one star who didn’t do too well in helping to sell magazines was Taylor Swift! Her April Elle cover was its worst seller of the year; her November cover for Glamour was the second-worst-selling, and her July Marie Claire cover was the third-worst-selling issue for that monthly. Maybe if she surprised us once in a while she wouldn’t be so predictably boring with all her heartbreaks and blah, blah, blah, songs… she should party.

Designer Spotlight: Gap’s Patrick Robinson

The Fashion Web — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 18:07:06 +0000

In just three years, fashion designer Patrick Robinson took the Gap from boring to brilliant.

“Everyone has a Gap story,” Patrick Robinson says. From another designer, that might sound like a boast, but from Robinson, it’s what makes his job as Gap’s EVP of Global Design hard. “I sit next to people on planes who critique everything,” he laughs. “They ask what happened to their favorite oxford shirt or jeans.” Fond memories of first button-flies gloss over the fact that before Robinson’s arrival three years ago, the Gap was on the verge of falling into itself. It took a surfer guy from California (Robinson’s first foray into fashion was making board shorts in high school) to take the American outfitter from boring to brilliant. Masterminding collaborations with Alexander Wang, Pierre Hardy, and Stella McCartney created much-needed buzz — even wait lists. For fall, his new, edgy Premium Pant collection is already causing a stir. In the end, Robinson welcomes the critics: “I love that when I do something, it shows up — people notice, and you get voted on in a big way.” That’s his Gap story.
