Tatler Asks, Don’t You Know Who I Am?

Megan Turley — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 13:30:54 +0000

The August issue of Tatler includes a tongue-in-chic take on some of our favorite fashion icons, from Madonna to a tastefully done Princess Diana (Take note, Newsweek). The editorial is entitled “Don’t You Know Who I Am?” and was shot by Robert Trachtenberg with fashion editor Anna Bromilow.

The spread is as much a look forward as it is a nostalgia trip, as all of the designs featured are from current Fall/Winter collections, including Prada, Versace, Chanel, and more. Perhaps it will make up for their rather ghastly (and we’re assuming, unapproved) cover of Pippa Middleton.

Tatler Doesn’t Want to Get Slapped

Tatler‘s new editor Kate Reardon wants to create a world wherein “everybody’s got beautiful manners, and quite a lot of them are in gowns, and everyone has got great skin, and is really enthusiastic, and writes thank you letters,” by remaking the 300-plus-year-old British mag into “the most fun girl at the party, not the rich girl you want to slap.” Clearly someone didn’t take into account that the rich girl at the party usually has the coke…I’m just sayin’.

Enter cover girl Pippa Middleton. Kate‘s younger, saucier, more bootylicious sister. Reardon finds the sisters Middleton to be the perfect embodiment of Tatler for despite their constant exposure to the media, the sisters “always look cheerful and grateful and enthusiastic.”

Reardon has especial admiration for Pippa whom she thinks “has a much more complicated situation than Kate” being without “advice on how to deal with the media, or protection from the media.”

The reinvention of Tatler will not only feature less snark and snobbery — how it will continue to call itself British I have no clue — but also a hunting, shooting and fishing supplement, which Reardon claims “no other glossy magazine on the planet would touch.”

And for good reason. But Reardon, an avid fox huntress herself, wants to perpetuate this world of beautiful manners and brilliant society, even while admitting that it’s not particularly realistic:

“It might not really exist, but then again I think the world of American Vogue doesn’t really exist. I mean, it is a lovely, soothing, entertaining fantasy.” Yes, but that fantasy at least involves couture and never fly-fishing. [WWD]

Olivia Palermo. Girl of the Year?!?

I’m guessing the Brits must really love The City. Olivia Palermo. Girl of the Year…

Thoughts? Should Whitney be pissed…

SPREAD UM: Jennifer Pugh for Tatler

Luis Monteiro shot Jennifer Pugh for this beautiful spread in British magazine Tatler.

I’m not really familiar with Jennifer, and the concept is pretty simple — but she looks great in gothic-inspired styling set against a barren landscape and white buildings.

Why So Serious?

I am a little late to the game, but what’s the deal with Maggie Gyllenhaal’s cover for Tatler magazine? Who is the hack editor who would ever let this image be the cover?!

Is it a not so well thought out nod to The Dark Knight? Did the Joker serve as inspiration?

You Decide!
