Anna Wintour’s Punk Side

image

The party of the year finally happened in New York. The fashion assignment at the Met ball this year? Punk. You decide if Anna “went there”. The Atlantic Wire delves into the corresponding exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute and the varied opinions on this topic. They also featured a radical image of Anna intended for the cover New York Magazine (which changed last second due to the Boston tragedy). Take a look at the scrapped Wintour cover here. Here’s the power editor last night at the Met Ball looking chic as ever in her Chanel gown.

Ready. Jetset. Go. By Jenny Bahn What do you do when you’re the editor of US Vogue? Get Mario Testino to photograph your passports, obviously. While the rest of us will likely be unable to commission Testino to save us the trip to the local Kinkos for what will likely be a garishly lit, unremarkable photograph destined to haunt us for 15 years, here’s something we can do: buy a gorgeous passport cover. No, you can’t help the horrors that might lie within those pages, but you can surely make the outside sing. We’re a big fan of this simple and elegant one by Smythson, as well as these iconic Goyard options on eBay. Say cheese! (Photo: Courtesy of Grazia Daily)

Dior Wars By Sade Lythcott It’s official. The Dior lightsaber has officially been passed from John Galliano to Raf Simons. Nostalgic as some might be for the the frivolity and irreverence of Galliano, Dior couldn’t be in more deserving hands. Read this December’s Vogue article on Simons to get to know the designer and his aesthetic better. In the article, Raf expresses his great humility about such an important opportunity as the new creative director of Dior. In the article, he gives homage to his roots. “I am super proud of my parents—my mother was a cleaning lady, and my father was a night watchman in the army,” says Simons, “and now I stand in this world, and yeah, it’s a bourgeois environment, in a house that’s seen in France as the most important position in fashion, along with Chanel. But I don’t care about that. What I find amazing is that it’s a beautiful house where I can make clothes to make women happy. I was raised in a very happy nest by very happy people, and I like to think that those are enough ingredients to make me succeed at Dior.” We wish Simons the best of luck.
