Last night at The Box nightclub here in New York, the British designers behind Rodnik (Philip Colbert and Richard Ascott) showed their Fall/Winter 2008 collection in a somewhat interesting way: Instead of a runway and floodlights and rows and rows of chairs, the designers decided to publicly perform a set of really,…
An in-the-know tipster informed us yesterday that Facebook is now home to two members of the ladymag elite: Elle Creative Director Joe Zee, and the magazine's Fashion News Director, Anne Slowey. Though Slowey has keenly set her privacy preferences to prevent us from checking out her page, Zee's page is open to anyone…
Poor models. Not only are many of them picky eaters, some are driven to fits of rage by the focus on their eating habits, as we learned this past Fashion Week. But for every runway rag & bone who insists that she regularly ingests 3 Big Macs a day, there's someone like Catherine McNeil, who has just granted New York…
Know how you know it's a slow news day? Yeah, when you read this post because everything on the internet is FUCKING BORING today. Anyway, keep in mind I'm operating under the assumption that we all agree that dieters are annoying, but dieters who write stories about their food diaries and how much they are suffffering…
Since we started caring about Elle we've come to recognize it's a pretty tidy microcosm of everything dysfunctional about fashion magazines that doesn't involve the word "Nast." Smart women work there! So do bitches! So do insane people! And lots of haggard assistants and associates who leave. The narcissists who were…
If it's true that E! is trying to make an E! True Hollywood Story on Project Runway (and that the Project Runway PR folk are up in arms about it), well then, we're happier than Heidi Klum when she gets to say "goodbye" in her native German. There's so much juicy, yet unexplored, stuff about the show, like who hates…
First we catch wind of the fact that there's no RSS feed on ELLE.com because there's no room for it in the budget, and now comes word that Elle can't afford to send its fashion team to the July couture shows in Paris. Right now, only founding Creative Director Gilles Bensimon (circled) is confirmed to attend, with…
Elle's "fashion news" department has lost yet another member of its staff. Ordinarily we would not care, but Elle's fashion news department is helmed by one inimitable Anne Slowey, she of the occasional three-olive-a-day diet. Anne is blonde and, we hear, very spiritual, so we know she is handling the loss of senior…
Our favorite fashion editor/former Project Runway judge/extreme dieter Anne Slowey was spotted — wait for it! — eating dinner last night. Mexican food and margaritas, no less. Pardon the pun, but we'll be dining out on this one for awhile. She's known to eat only three olives a day, people!
Not to be self-referential or anything, but since our bosses started threatening us about this blog actually going "live," we have eaten:
The May, "Green" issue of Elle has just hit newsstands and last night, we found a delightful and revealing little article by Elle editorial assistant Lindsay Talbot, who toils for the magazine's Fashion News Direcdtor (and notorious under-eater) Anne Slowey.
