Letter from the Editor,
Over the last few years, we’ve done a lot of accelerating at New York, launching four
digital magazines that deliver news and commentary at an insane pace, responding instantly to whatever the culture is serving up. There’s Daily Intelligencer for news and politics, Vulture for entertainment, the Cut for fashion and more, and Grub Street, our everything-gastro digest. Beginning this spring, there’ll be a fifth, called the Science of Us, devoted to exploring the science (clinical and speculative) of human behavior.
But even as we speed up online, we’re doing the opposite in print. You may have
heard that we are moving from publishing weekly to publishing biweekly. Well: This is it. (Though, technically, we weren’t really weekly, and we’re not precisely biweekly now. We’ll be moving from 42 issues per year to 29—that’s 26 biweekly issues, plus three single-topic “bonus” issues, on health, food, and gifts.)
Some of the reasons for the change are, yes, economic—a weekly is killer-expensive
to make. But we also think of it as a natural response to the bifurcated way people like to read—in rawer form immediately and in more cooked iterations over time. Our sincere belief is that we can make a better magazine this way, one that feels just as urgent as ever but is more alive to all the magical properties, and possibilities, of print—all those design flourishes and writerly ambitions and sensory experiences that devoted readers of magazines cherish. Sincerely, Gage Daughdrill

L’entertainemnt de Joli danse, danser
TOUTE la nuit! Fauve (who also style themselves with the symbol ≠) are a shady, amorphous collective of musicians and video artists who sprang their corrosive slam-inspired wordplay on an unsuspecting French public last year. Check their brilliant EP ‘Blizzard’. For the fifth year in a row, Born Bad Records transforms the Pailleron ice rink into a dance floor, every first Friday of the month from November to March. Inviting labels like Kill the DJ, Tigersushi and Dirty, the collective has turned the event into an essential winter destination for Paris’s electro fans JOLI

Au Mussee d’Orsay The Man Suicided by Society Based on the categories and the unusual designations put forward by Artaud in Van Gogh, the Man Suicided by Society, , the exhibition will comprise some thirty paintings, a selection of van Gogh’s drawings and letters, together with graphic works by the poet-illustrator.

Visiting exhibitions hosted by the major Paris museums are an unmissable opportunity for discovery and cultural enlightenment, a fleeting chance to admire rare and outstanding works in a matchless setting. Your trip to Paris would be worthwhile for these alone. The city puts on open-air exhibitions too: the Champs-Elysées, the banks of the Seine or the Champ de Mars are sometimes the backdrop for pieces of sculpture or unusual objects. Around Beaubourg and Saint-Germain-des-Prés, you can appreciate the wealth of Parisian art galleries, whether your interest turns to contemporary, classical, primitive or exotic, paintings, photography or sculpture

What inspired you to start your blog? LB: I started my blog as a creative outlet to express my love of fashion, extensive collection of clothes and to share with women as motivation for putting outfits and looks together. I have friends and family ask me all the time where I got something or advice on what would look good together so I thought why not share my passion with everyone I could. What are some of your favorite boutiques that you must visit in your area or when you go shopping? LB: A few of my favorite local boutiques in Paris areVocabulary Boutique, Capricorn Boutique and Mimi & Red. Not only do I adore the women who own these boutiques but I also love the clothes they carry. Their styles are all different and I love adding variety to my wardrobe. Also the accessories are to die for!
“I started my blog as a creative outlet to express my love of fashion...”
What is your favorite outfit that you’ve posted so far? LB: One of my favorite outfits that I’ve posted so far is probably one of my more simple looks. I am wearing cuffed denim jeans, a black tank, wedges and accessorized with silver jewelry, a black fedora and a nautical striped bag. This look is effortlessly chic and adding a striped crossbody bag pulled the look together without being over the top. It was comfortable and eye catching all at the same time. What fall trends do you love and which do you hate? LB: My favorite fall trends this year are the light colors seen in Chanel, fur in Marni, and the classic, sleek looks seen in the Louis Vuitton collection. What new pieces have you picked up for fall that we haven’t seen on the blog yet? LB: You’ll just have to wait and see!
