Are you on a first-name basis with your top models? Because a slew of the industry's most-sought after catwalkers will be appearing in the massive Fashion Night's Out runway show on Sept 7.
Since this is a Vogue event, there's no surprise that many Vogue perennials have been confirmed to walk. Among them are Naomi Campbell, newlywed Coco Rocha, Victoria's Secret angels Alessandra Ambrossio and Adriana Lima, Karolina Kurkova, Lily Donaldson, and Sasha Pivovarova.
Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour joined a very exclusive club on Thursday evening, when she was formally inducted into the American Society of Magazine Editors Hall of Fame during the National Magazine Awards, held at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall. She became the 25th editor to be honored, joining Tina Brown, Helen Gurley Brown, Lewis Lapham, Clay Felker and Michael Kinsley.
When Patrick Wintour, The Guardian's political editor and Wintour's younger brother, was unable to arrive in New York due to the volcanic ash-related travel delays, he taped a message in front of London's Parliament. "I understand it's like the John Wayne award, for someone who's been around for a long time and hasn't won any prizes," he said, in that very dry British wit. "So it's very sweet of you to think of the old girl at this stage."
Vogue magazine's new iPhone app is primarily a shopping application, enabling users to scroll through every Vogue ad, click to buy and getting styling advice on the season's trends, Elva Ramirez reports.
With the release of R.J. Cutler's "The September Issue" on DVD, someone made the genius decision to pack in over 90 minutes worth of never-before-seen footage. The bonus footage actually exceeds the original film's length. Often, deleted scenes and bonus footage play like indulgent filler, but The September Issues's extras are as compelling and quirky as anything that made the film.
"The September Issue," a documentary on Anna Wintour and Vogue will premiere tomorrow night at the Sundance Festival. The film follows the Vogue editor and her team from January through August 2007 and focuses on the production of the September Vogue, which remains the largest magazine ever published. Director R.J. Cutler first approached Ms. Wintour at the end of 2005; yesterday, nearly three years after the first meeting, he was finishing the final sound mixing before the film's Friday premiere.
