Preview 'Stylista'
Questions:- Could the CW have choreographed Stylista to be any more like The Devil Wears Prada? - Why would Anne Slowey, Elle's fashion news director, agree to be portrayed as the evil editrix we go from loving to hating to just plain pitying?- Most importantly - will you be watching??!
Italian Vogue's all-black July '08 issue
After months of speculation as to who has scored the cover of Italian Vogue's July '08 issue, featuring only black models, the time has finally come to reveal all...
The fold-out cover stars (from left to right) Liya Kebede, Sissilee Lopez, Jourdan Dunn, and Naomi Campbell. Under the careful eye of editor Franca Sozzani, and photographer Steven Meisel, the ground-breaking issue is a welcomed sight for many who have long campaigned for equal rights in the fashion industry, but will it help to bring about change?
Images above, L-R: Tyra Banks, and Sissilee Lopez.
Cathy Horyn's article and blog post for The New York Times are both worth reading, if only for her Q&A with Sozzani.
Highlights from that discussion:
Sozzani: When you see the black issue and all the pictures, you realize that these girls in a way have to work much harder than other models. They are more in touch with their own personalities - they're not simply models in front of a camera. They really try to get the tension.
Horyn: Do you think the issue will have an impact?
Sozzani: Yes, I think it will. I noticed the June issue of French Vogue had a split cover with a black model and white model, though there's nothing inside.
Horyn: What the black issue a political gesture?
Sozzani: I didn't feel it was a political gesture. Maybe it was political in that when I see all these girls who look alike in a fashion show, they really annoy me. We need to see beautiful clothes on beautiful women.
She is also adamant that the issue was not a response to recent criticisms, but rather founded on Italians' interest in the American presidential race and Obama."Mine is not a magazine that can be accused of not using black girls," she added, counting several Italian Vogue covers featuring Campbell, Kebede and Alek Wek.Despite comments to the contrary, there is little doubt that this issue was created on the tail-end of recent racial discussions that erupted on the catwalks last season, where black models were relegated to token roles. And while Sozzani and Meisel may rejoice in the thought of what this will hopefully bring for relatively unknown cover star, Sissilee Lopez (could it be the start of something big?) it is what it could potentially do for models of every colour and race that is the most exciting part.
The July '08 issue of Italian Vogue will hit newsstands in Europe next Thursday 26 June, and in U.S. shortly after.
'Stylista'
Fashion enthusiasts vie for job at Elle magazine on 'Stylista'
Fresh from the Tyra Banks Factory of Reality Shows, comes Stylista, a show which pits budding fashion mag lackeys against each other to win the coveted(?) prize(?) of being assistant to Anne Slowey, Elle's Fashion News Director and all-round scary lady.
Clips have become available for us to have our first sneaky peek and it looks so ridic it might actually be good...
Some of our highlights (or lowlights - whichever way you want to look at it):
Some of our highlights (or lowlights - whichever way you want to look at it):
- Those assistants have got some great trucking-on spirit: "I have no idea of how many more days of this kind of torture, essentially, I can handle... but I'm gonna try."
- Does Anne have blisters? Or are those heels just too high for her to walk in?
- LOVE the YSL star necklace even more now.
- The sound of trembling trays was actually quite disturbing... but I think I would be too in her presence!
- Didn't those kids research Anne's typical daily diet? If they did, they'd know they've piled those trays way too high.
- Are these the fake offices we've been hearing about?
Aside from the paid position at Elle, also up for grabs is a paid lease on a Manhattan apartment for one year and $100,000 clothing allowance at H&M. Not bad, not bad at all...
Tyra Banks
If you think the teaming of Tyra Banks and Ashton Kutcher sounds like something out of a reality show, you're not far off. The pair are joining forces to create an unscripted series for ABC.
The as-yet-untitled project will feature contestants competing in a beauty pageant. Naturally there's a twist, but the network has requested that the concept remain under wraps because the show hasn't started production.

ABC has ordered eight episodes from the duo's respective production companies.
Kutcher is behind MTV's "Punk'd" and the CW's "Beauty and the Geek," while Banks executive produces the CW's top-rated "America's Next Top Model" as well as an upcoming CW project in which contestants compete to become assistant editors at a fashion magazine.
Also, the Style Network said Tuesday that it has acquired the rights to Kutcher's hidden-camera comedy series "The Real Wedding Crashers." The show had a short-lived run last year on NBC.
