CHIC CHAT! With Tinsley Mortimer at Reem Acra

How was your summer?

I moved this summer, which was the most dramatic and horrible experience ever.

My old place was too big for me—it was lonely to come home by myself. I’m back on the UES and very happy.

Any marriage advice for Ryan and Blake?

Communicate, and kiss a lot! People start peck kissing, but, get in there and French kiss all the time.

“We were in an elevator in the eighties, and she said, ‘We have a house in Aspen. Come ski with me!’ So I did, and we were fast friends.”—Bernadette Peters on how she met Donna Karan at the designer’s show. ☛ “I’ve never sat last row, even when I was a nobody!”—Ken Downing at the Tents. ☛ “I very much like your magazine!”— the darling Reinaldo Herrera at Carolina Herrera. ☛ “Every day since college.”—Thom Browne, when asked how long he’s been wearing a suit. ☛ “High priestesses and tarot cards.”—Wes Gordon on his Spring inspiration. ☛ “I don’t normally talk to the press, but I’ll talk to The Daily!”—Giovanna Battaglia at the Tents. ☛ “Would you be offended if I touched you inappropriately right now?”—one showgoer to another in the standing room section at Theyskens’ Theory.

Reem Acra

DESIGN CHATTER! With interiors guru Wesley Cadle, who decorated the Mercedes-Benz Star Lounge

What’s the concept?

The lounge starts as a 30’ x 30’ box, so, each season, we make it look different while making sure that it functions as it should.

This time, we used designs by Wesley Christopher Guy, whose work has a wonderful, sleek, Cadle Hollywood Regency drama.

What are some key design elements?

You’ve got to have conversation, so an arrangement of six chairs is good— and always have a table to place your cocktails!

What makes the room so sexy?

Red roses and black mink!

How do you stay atop of trends?

Well, I prefer to say that I am making the trends, but my designs are usually above trend. Does that make sense?

What happens to all the furnishings when you tear down the space?

I would like them all to go to my bedroom, but they will go right back to Christopher Guy.

CROP TALK!

PUPPY LOVE! With Wes Gordon

What’s new?

I’m getting a Cockapoo puppy tomorrow!

What are you going to name her?

Bird. She’s going to come to the office with me every day, and travel with me.

Is this your first dog?

Yes! I’m allergic, so I had to get a hypoallergenic one.

We’ll send you a card on father’s day!

Send a bone!

You look like a puppy yourself.

It’s an illusion. I need some sleep!

With Olivier Theyskens at Theyskens’ Theory

Have people always been fascinated by your hair?

Ha. I wanted to cut it a few years ago, but it was around the time I was moving to New York, and I thought people would give it too much significance.

Who cut it now?

My friend, because I didn’t want to go to a salon. And I had a great summer, because short hair is so easy at the beach.

You don’t get knots, which are boring.

Anything you wouldn’t do to your hair?

When I was young, I dyed it red, but I’d never bleach it blonde.

Did you keep the hair you cut off?

Actually, I did!

I don’t know what I’m going to do with it, but it might be useful for Halloween.

Fresh, Flushed CHEEKS To achieve a “beautiful sculpted look” and complement the collection at Victoria Beckham, Maybelline New York makeup artist Diane Kendal played with light and dark shades.

Kendal applied Dream Bouncy Blush in Coffee Cake to sculpt the cheekbones and Dream Bouncy Blush in Candy Coral on the apples for a warm, healthy glow. “Victoria’s collection was very architectural,” said Kendal. “And the makeup was sexy and clean without making a big statement.”

New season, new front-row flame! Marc’s new mec Harry Louis sat alone in the front row until his seatmate Rachel Zoe took her perch. “You and Marc look so much alike!” she said. There was a mad rush into the Armory starting at 7:50, and sure enough, the show started directly at 8 and may have been one of the fastest ones ever. In keeping with the week’s unofficial theme, the room was boiling—but it wasn’t nearly as haute as the collection.

marc jacobs TALKING SPEED! With Marc Jacobs

Karen Elson

What was the concept this season?

It was very simple, very cool, very easy. Last season was so romantic and fairytale, so this season we wanted something very brutal and straight-forward—no romance, no emotion, real force, simplicity.

With Harry Louis

Was this the fastest show you’ve ever done?

I hope so, because every time I try to beat myself, and we try to make it faster and faster. My dream is to have a show that lasts one minute.

I’d like to have it over before everyone is seated.

STAYING STRONG! With Robert Duffy Was the show too long?

Six-and-a-half minutes!

How are you feeling right now?

I thought the show was too long. [laughs] I loved it. We do a 180 every season.

How did Marc hold up this season?

He was in really good spirits, and it wasn’t as difficult in other seasons because he was more sure of himself and knew what he wanted to do.

What time did you go to bed last night?

Earliest ever this year! I left the office at 1:30 a.m. Usually we’re there all night. On Saturday, I worked until 5 a.m.

How do you keep your energy up?

It’s very stimulating to work with the very best people in the world.

What will you do to celebrate?

I’m going to our after party, once I figure out where that is. My assistant will tell me!

FEAR FACTOR! With Cara Delevingne This is your first Marc show!

I found out that the last minute that I was cast, and I was so happy and so shocked. Doing Marc’s show made me feel like a little girl again!

What was up with the crying model?

She’s a new girl, and she’s so sweet. It reminded me of my first show! I had to tell her that confidence is key and you’ve just got to go out there and do it, otherwise you lose it.

She was terrified, and I was sh*tting myself.

This show?

Every show! I get so much adrenaline. I shake and stuff.

A Whole Lotta

Lottie After a long and fruitful career selling ads chez Condé, Vogue’s former associate publisher Lottie Oakley has a new game plan and an exciting new biz.

Haralux, her consulting firm, is scouring the industry to invest in buzzy fashion brands.

Could yours be next?

BY ASHLEY BAKER Photography by giorgio Niro How’s life as a consultant?

Great! Haralux is a luxury brand management company, and over time, our goal is to manage and build luxury brands, while helping them reach their full potential.

We identify brands that are perhaps young and doing interesting things, but may be outside of the industry’s focus. We believe there’s a huge opportunity in the marketplace not only give them operating capital, but also provide leadership, if they need it. We go inside the company and take in-house positions when necessary, which is what I’m doing with our first project, Pour La Victoire. I oversee the marketing, communications, and branding, and I work closely with PLV’s creative director, David Giordano, on the merchandising.

Who are your partners?

My main partner is Dave Baram, the co-founder of LBI Entertainment, a talent management company, and a cofounding partner of VMG Partners, a private equity fund.

Richard Kirsenbaum, the CEO of NSG/SWAT, just launched

FA S H I O N W E E K D A I L Y. C O M

his own graphic design agency, and he’s a strategic and marketing partner working on branding.

Where did the name Haralux come from?

Hara is my mother’s Japanese name; in Japanese, it means ‘the stomach.’ It’s not really romantic, but Haralux was, in one sense, a gut reaction as a business.

Where did you come up with the idea?

Well, I remember the conversations at Vogue after September 11 about the need to fund young designers—the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund was born.

Eleven years later, it’s incredible to watch what the industry has done, but in my opinion, so much attention paid to these young designers can be overwhelming. Are they really given the education, skill sets, and partnerships to build a sound business over time? I hope that’s where Haralux can come in, and sustain them as they grow with leadership and/ or operating capital. The first two years of incubation are important, but it’s the next eight years that are really critical.

A lot of great designers have recently had serious troubles during that time frame.

Yes. If that can happen to someone like Doo-Ri [Chung], whom I think is still one of the most talented dress designers….We are just getting started, so I say this with the greatest humility, but we don’t take our work lightly. We’re humble, but excited. When you look at what can happen in six months at a brand like Pour La Victoire with the right capital, structure, leadership, and partnership, it’s pretty incredible.

How do you go about finding these brands?

So far, word of mouth. At every fashion dinner or party I attend, someone has an idea of a brand to check out.

How many are you currently working with?

We think it’s reasonable to take on one brand each year, for now. We’re in discussions with about five more for 2013.

What constitutes a luxury brand these days?

It really has to do with how the brand behaves—it has little to do with the price point. Pour La Victoire is an American-rooted company based in New York, but we thought it would be important to rebuild the brand through the lens of French luxury companies. The fashion space is so competitive, and the consumer is fickle. Long-term potential requires a strong brand foundation and rigorous discipline.

For example?

We spend a lot of time thinking about boxes and business cards. The branding is all in the packaging.

It wasn’t so long ago that the only way for a brand to really tell its story was through print advertising.

That has changed. I grew up in print magazines at Vogue, and I believe that consumers still want that experience. But digital is hugely important in a brand’s narrative—it allows it to walk, talk, and dance.

How does it feel to entertain sales calls instead of organizing them?

I have great respect for the sales process. Now that we’re buying ads, though, I would say that we act responsibly and within reason, while we know what can be done on the inside. But we also know what’s unreasonable!

Are ad dollars stretching further these days?

Yes! If you’re clever, you can make a media buy look like it cost three times as much as it actually did.

There’s a lot of waste happening when you don’t know someone on the inside. We’re able to stretch our media dollars by using a combination of knowing who has flexibility and who doesn’t.

Why are national magazines still important places to advertise?

When a consumer sees an item in Vogue, which is a credible resource, it reinforces their purchase.

National magazines still have brand gravitas and the greatest credibility—a magazine like Vogue has stood the test of time for 100 years, and you can never undermine that credibility. But media is a wide open space right now.

You’re also hosting the American Express Skybox at Lincoln Center this week, for the second season in a row. How’s it going?

I went in with hesitations and the normal insecurity— I’m not Kelly Ripa!—but I was surprised about how natural the role felt, due to my sincere and authentic interest in the industry.

What has the Skybox experience taught you about consumers?

I’ve learned that you cannot trick a consumer. They know what’s authentic, and they can see smoke and mirrors. These cardmembers follow the industry like insiders, and live it every day—they are not looking through the glass window. They come from all over the country to participate in Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, and it’s safe to assume that they’re among the most fashion-forward voices in their respective communities.

The cardholders must be a good focus group for your work with Haralux!

They are, because most of the people who move through the Skybox are tastemakers, editors, journalists, industry insiders, and perhaps, celebrities.

They really influence and build brands, and that reinforces the purchase of a consumer.

So it doesn’t sound like you’re missing ad sales. [laughs] No, but I did learn a lot, and I’m always applying my experiences. Vogue remains my foundation and my reference point, not to mention my launch pad.

MEET DAVID GIORDANO, PLV’S CREATIVE DIRECTOR What’s your background?

I’ve been in or a part of the fashion industry for my entire career, from walking on the DSquared runway when I was in my twenties to learning the business side from Andrew Rosen and Max Azria to launching a leather jacket collection out of a loft apartment. I’ve had the fortunate experience of getting to know all aspects of fashion, and spotting trends in fashion and accessories is my passion.

Where are you from?

I’m a New Yorker, through and through.

I’m originally from Long Island, but I’m currently settled in Brooklyn. I did a stint in Los Angeles, and while I love it out there, no place fulfills me like the Big Apple.

How has the brand evolved during your tenure there?

PLV has done a great job of growing as the space has evolved. The market is crowded, but PLV has remained original, with its own brand aesthetic—sophisticated, spirited, and relevant.

What is the cardinal virtue of a good shoe?

It should be an exclamation mark at the end of a great sentence.

Shoes are the ultimate way to know the meaning of a woman.

Adieu, COSMO!

With Eva Mendes and Scarlett Johansson

After 14 newsstand-sizzling years on the job, Cosmopolitan EIC Kate White is bidding a fond farewell to the perpetually cheeky mag, but there’s nothing hasty or sappy about it!.

Let’s look back at White’s colossal Cosmo moments!

BY ALEXANDRA ILYASHOV

With Liam Hemsworth...

...and Russell Brand...

R

emind us again: how’d you get the gig?

I was literally called on a Sunday, told I was the new editor of Cosmo, and just started... with such anxiety! I thought the job just didn’t seem like me, but I couldn’t say no because I was in the company.

How did you know you’d gotten into your groove?

I doubled the newsstand rates the first year. I’ve had success at the five magazines I’ve been at, and I think it’s because I’ve been doing my homework, seeing what readers like, and going from there.

How did you feel at the decade mark?

At 10 years, I wasn’t quite ready to leave, but I was already starting to think about it. You want to leave when you’re still energized, loving it, and doing a good job. It’s so much better to leave at that point than to be forced out or realize that you stayed too long.

How did you celebrate the big 1-0 as EIC? We had a wonderful party, and my staff made me this video that made us all laugh until we cried. I so wish I could put it on YouTube, but it was almost a little shocking. They gave me all of these fabulous gifts, like a Michael Kors leopard print bag, and arranged for a bare-chested male model.

You’re passing the torch! What makes Joanna right choice?

I didn’t pick my successor, so you’d have to ask David Carey!

I don’t know Joanna very well, but she seems so smart, and charismatic, and I hope she will embrace the job fully and have a lot of fun with it.

What will you miss most?

Fourteen years has been enough to time to really enjoy FA S H I O N W E E K D A I L Y. C O M

it—it’s like getting up from a really great meal that was everything you hoped it could be. I don’t think there’s going to be anything about the day-to-day that I’m aching to do again. But I will miss the wonderful people I’ve worked with—they tend to be fun, zany, risk-takers.

Any fave memories with your colleagues?

I’ve always invited the staff to a party each May at my house in Pennsylvania. One time, two girls from the magazine made a day trip out of it, and when they arrived, they said, ‘Oh my God! We saw a beaver!’ First of all, it was actually a groundhog. I have to say, my parties won’t be the same without those fabulously dressed, over-the-top Cosmo staffers.

What’s the next book in your oeuvre?

I Shouldn’t Be Telling You This comes out in a few weeks, and is really about a lot of things I learned during my time at Cosmo.

Such serendipitous timing!

Two weeks after I leave—what could be better!

And those speaker gigs?

A lot of them will be about this book!

Any tears shed over your departure?

I tend to not be a crier. Also, I had a long time to think about going, since I told David [Carey] back in January.

It’s less about feeling sad and what I’ll miss—It’s more about feeling grateful. David Carey has also been so wonderful in helping me make the transition— someone should do case studies on that man at Harvard Business School!

Are there any good cover lines you never used?

There was one lately that I thought, ‘Oh no, I better not do this one.’ So I probably shouldn’t share it! I might make myself blush.

Any vacation plans?

I’ll be spending more time at my house in Uruguay!

...and Minka Kelly and Sophia Bush!

KATE AND THE BACHELORS! “Every October, we salute 50 bachelors from different parts of the country. It’s so exciting to me because these guys end up with such great PR locally—it’s lifechanging for them!

They’ll go on to become TV stars, on Survivor, The Bachelor. Some of them have gotten involved with women they’ve met through the contest—and one guy even met someone at a Cosmo party last October! I won a contest when I was a senior in college, for Glamour, and it definitely changed my life.”

Kate’s most beloved covers!

Rebecca Romijn

Molly Sims

“My fifth cover as editor of Cosmo was a monster seller. I had an instinct about what the readers loved—the cover girl had to have confidence and sexiness. Readers also loved the cover line, ‘You’ve Got To Try The Butterfly.’ Texting has influenced the length of cover lines, and they were smaller then—there wasn’t as much competition at the newsstands!”

“I loved Molly, but I did three cover shoots with her before and none of them worked out; maybe we didn’t have the right clothes, Molly was probably a little nervous, but she was so game to try. I thought she was so right for us, and it sold 2.3 million copies—and that’s just huge. I love the line ‘The Four Tricks Rapists Use In Summer.’

We’ve done so many stories on protecting yourself.”

2008 MARCH

Angelina Jolie

Keira Knightley

Beyoncé

“Oooh, Angelina! I’m really proud of the fact that we’ve often been the first magazine to feature somebody who later became major on the newsstand. She was fairly edgy then—she was wearing the vial of blood around her neck! I remember loving that cover so much, I pretended to slow dance with it around my office when it came out! Readers wrote in to say how much they loved her.”

“That cover was a really huge seller for us—it was the hot issue, which we did every August. In the focus groups, almost nobody knew who she was! Instead, they’d been drawn to the pinks and her top. The right look on the cover can compensate if you don’t have an A-list star. She actually didn’t like that cover—the photographer did some retouching.”

“This is one of my favorite, favorite, favorite covers! I think I danced with that one, too. We had done a beauty shoot with her before and she was so lovely.

I usually brainstorm cover lines with two other editors, but I happened to come up with all of those myself. One of them was ‘Never Lose Your Orgasm Again.’”

Zooey Deschanel

“I love that dress! I took a risk there, but I really wanted to put ‘Va-Jay-Jay’ on the cover. So many readers wrote in to me and said, ‘Thank you, that’s exactly what we call it!’ It sold over 2 million copies.”

“Of course we pick out the clothes we want to be shot—but Lady Gaga was going to do it her own way! I was a little nervous, but when I saw this shot of her in that underwear, I just said, ‘Yes!’

“I’d been deliberating about Mila for a while, but my entertainment director had always been advocating for her—finally, when we saw Black Swan, it was clear that Mila’s moment had arrived.”

“The first time I’d featured Kim, it was just too soon, and I didn’t think we’d gotten the clothes right. I love this sweatshirt dress and this time, it worked. The same thing happened with Kate Hudson the first time she was on our cover.”

“My last cover! Zooey didn’t see Cosmo as a perfect fit, necessarily, but our readers love her! I told her she’d reach all of them, and I’m very grateful to her for that.”

Remembering HELEN GURLEY BROWN

“By the time I met Helen, she wasn’t in the advice-dispensing mode. She knew I had to do my own thing, but I tried to learn from her indirectly. She did tell me that she did the job by using her gut—she didn’t do a ton of research—and she really understood her reader. Helen was a real line editor, and I top-edited every piece of copy in the magazine, too. I respected Helen so enormously. Though I changed the magazine a lot, I tried to stay true to Helen’s notion of it as the single girl’s bible.”

Jacobs

Edie does it! Jacobs’ sixties-esque Spring statement was full of the Marc-isms we know and love—body-con tunics, retro suiting, funky checks, and, of course, stripes of all sizes.

Trippy? Just a bit, but this fearless factory femme wouldn’t have it any other way.

Reinventing the idea of nautical, Karan moodily meditates on sand and water shades, and the look is luminous.

Ready, Willing, and

Valuable Why are Berkeley College interns and graduates so well prepared?

• Students learn current practices and the latest technologies from accomplished faculty, many of whom are working professionals with market experience • Advisory Boards help ensure relevant program and course content, based on marketplace needs • Internships or job-related assignments are required in all programs, providing students with valuable, practical experience

Chelsea Gramlich - Berkeley College Student Fashion Marketing and Management, Class of ’14 “My goal is to be a fashion forecaster, so the program at Berkeley is perfect for me. Professors have firsthand knowledge of what’s going on in the industry and give us lots of one-on-one attention. They’re very helpful; they truly want us to be successful. Our education continues outside of the classroom, too — participating in events like Fashion Week, clubs, internships, job opportunities, and more.

I’m making connections and getting a great education!”

Keep Calm and Snack On With a schedule full of shows and late night parties, fashionistas are always eating on the go. Before you toss any ol’ snack in your tote, use these three tips to help you keep portions—not to mention that gorgeous silhouette—under control as you navigate this week of chic.

WHAT: Génifique Yeux Light-Pearl Eye-Illuminating Youth Activating

Concentrate WHERE: www.lancome.com WHY: Lancôme introduces the first eye-illuminating serum, engineered with a

unique rotating and massaging applicator to reach even the most inaccessible eye areas. Experience a 360° eye contour transformation above and below the eyes for visible results. After four weeks of use, results show 78% of women thought that the eye contour was visibly improved.

Price: $70

WHAT: Baked by Melissa Cupcake Pod Machine WHERE: www.bakedbymelissa.com WHY: It’s the first-ever gumball machine—filled with cupcakes. The

6-ft. Baked by Melissa Cupcake Pod machine holds over 2,000 miniature stuffed cupcakes, available in a variety of inventive flavors, such as Tie-Dye, Peanut Butter & Jelly, Cookie Dough, S’mores and Red Velvet.

After inserting a token or quarter, the machine dispenses an individually packaged cupcake, each the size of a quarter and under 50 calories. The Baked by Melissa Cupcake Pod Machine was unveiled for the first time at the Betsey Johnson party at Espace on Tuesday night. Betsey loves the cupcakes so much that she even designed her own exclusive Baked by Melissa cupcake—pink and sparkly, just like her.

Price: Price upon request

WHAT: Converse by John Varvatos Weapon Shoe WHERE: www.johnvarvatos.com WHY: The Converse Weapon originally debuted in 1986 and immediately became

the “weapon of choice” on basketball courts across the country. In this—the 10th anniversary of the premium footwear partnership between John Varvatos and Converse—the rock ‘n roll designer has updated the classic silhouette with a slightly slimmer design, super-soft leather uppers, and fresh colorways. Thanks to a collaboration that has never failed to raise the bar with each collection, the best just got better once again.

Price: $170 WHAT: New Hanes® Silk Reflections® Blackout Convert-A-Tight WHERE: Department stores nationwide. Available in black and in five sizes.

WHY: In today’s lightning fast, virtual world, a woman has to be ready to transform

Pay Attention! Retire your multi-tasking mind. By cutting out just a few distractions when snacking, you can relax and enjoy.

You’ll also be more conscious of what you are eating, so it’s easier to break bad habits and reinforce good ones.

Slow Down! Your stomach isn’t as fast as your stilettos! When snacking, give your stomach a chance to catch up. Slow down, take small bites, and let those satiation cues kick in.

Savor! Food is more than just fuel.

Stopping to savor the smell, flavor, and texture of your snack increases satisfaction, which decreases the urge to overindulge.

her look from work to play, airport to meeting, and park to dinner. New Hanes® Silk Reflections® Blackout Convert-A-Tight can help make the quick change with ease, comfort, and style. With one pair you get two looks! Wear them as tights and then as leggings, or vice versa. A luxurious softness and maximum opacity provides a sleek, slim look.

Price: $15

WHAT: DISARONNO WHERE: www.disaronno.com WHY: With its distinctive stopper and iconic square-faceted

Murano glass bottle, DISARONNO is the world’s favorite Italian liquor, regarded as an icon of style and sophistication and appreciated as a “favorite mixer” for contemporary social settings—as well as neat or on the rocks.

Price: $25.99 (750 ml bottle)

WHAT: Express (Minus The) Leather Moto Jacket WHERE: www.express.com WHY: Cropped and loaded with hardware, the leather jacket is

reinvented with edgy motorcycle cool. Ribbed insets down the arms and sides add an edge. Get the look and feel of leather, minus the leather.
