After 10 years as editor and chief of the fashion bible Vogue Paris, Carine Roitfeld droped a massive bombshell by leaving the magazine! According to Vogue, the famous French editor will begin to work on personal projects that are ‘close to her heart’... or maybe she just got fed up of looking at too many pairs of Jimmy Choos. We are not entirely sure what personal project’s means... Will she write a book? Will she design a collection? But rumours have been buzzing that she was forced to leave for a multitude of reasons! The main one being that Bernard Arnault was so livid at a shoot featuring young girls wearing full make-up in a re- cent issue, that he threatened to pull all the advertising of his brands. The other is that she is spending way too much time working on freelance projects. Her departure only adds gossip and to that old aged rumour that she will
replace Anna Wintour as the editor of the American Vogue. Chairman of Conde Nast, Jonathan Newhouse, commented on the sad departure; “Carine has marked the his- tory of Paris Vogue with her incredible talent as a stylist and editor, she will be missed’. Joining the team in 2001, she already had a highly established career as a stylist and consultant to Tom Ford. Working alongside the industries larg- est, Carine has not only revamped the look of Vogue, but she has turned it from a specialized magazine into a must have for fashion victims! From February the 1st the new editor will be... drumroll... Emmanuelle Alt! Vogue’s fashion direc- tor. In recent interview, Alt was quoted ‘by working with such a talented team, I am confident of developing the incred- ible potential of the magazine.’
THERAPY MENSWEAR – GIVING SHOREDITCH THE TWIST IT NEEDED.
With more vintage stores than newsagents East London has been hit with a new menswear store – Therapy Spitalfields. From the people who brought brands to the East End over ten years ago with their Therapy City shop these guys know their stuff. Sourcing the best street wear brands on the scene, you will be sure to find something for you.
Therapy Spitalfields opened in September and is already making its mark. “Pretentious rhymes with twat” and “My clothes don’t smell of dead People” are just some of the large wall quotes to greet its customers. While sticking two fingers up at “Shoreditch arrogance” the shop aesthetics embraces its home and Therapy is just the laid back cheeky feel that East London needs. Therapy brings the fun back to shopping; there aren’t many places you can enjoy a beer while getting your arse kicked on the vintage football
table with staff members. Spread over two floors, the top floor is home to new stock from the eclectic choice of brands such as Adidas Originals, Cheap Monday, Humor, WeSC, Religion and Franklin and Marshall to name a few. As you fol- low down the lit up circus style signs you find your- self downstairs in what could only be described as the best kept secret in East London. Not just an average sample sale, Therapy has iconic brands such as Stone Island, Dsquared2, and Adidas Originals with up to 70% off. Be sure to check out the store, there is always something going on from art exhibi- tions, DJ’s, tons of free booze, and of course the best threads.
