For some reason, black model Joan Smalls and white model Karlie Kloss have nearly the same skin tone on W magazine's dual July covers. Together, the pair has been dubbed "The New Face of Fashion." Kloss, who completely missed out on her awkward phase (bitch!), credits ballet for her gazelle-like strut. "You learn to control every aspect of your muscles, your face, your toes, your fingernails." Um. In other news, Joan looks a lot like Beyonce in the accompanying editorial. [W]
I know I'm probably a little TMI at times, but Cat Marnell really wants the world to know exactly what's going on with her at every moment since she quit her job at XoJane. She talked to The Cut about how she never makes deadlines and she's lucky if she can get her ass to work at all, let alone on time, but people are still pouring book deals and contracts at her because she's our generation's Courtney Love. Sort of.
Well, I’m a pillhead, and I had some medication run out, and I couldn’t sleep. That was Thursday, and I’m supposed to write four times a week, and I’d already done that. Most of the time I couldn’t even make that, but I did then, so I didn’t go in on Friday. Then I used drugs heavily that weekend, which was my choice, whatever, I party. And I had forgotten my phone at the office by mistake, but I didn’t even care. And then the Internet got turned off in my apartment, and because I didn’t even have a phone I couldn’t turn the Internet on, and I had no way of getting ahold of anyone. And then I got sort of depressed, as pillheads are wont to do. And put up my blackout curtains and just went to bed for a week. I didn’t call them [my co-workers at xoJane.com], didn’t tweet, didn’t do anything. And this alarmed a lot of people. My older sister is a publicist — she lives in Gramercy, and she’s a year older than I am, and she finally came and knocked on my door. I was like, “Who the fuck is there?” Literally, all I did was watch TMZ Live on my computer because I love Harvey Levin and I would just let him lull me to sleep, because it was the only way I could sleep. I was out of sleeping pills and I was out of benzos, and I had lost my Adderall bottle. I was like, in zombie time. [The Cut]
Just a month after the Met Gala honored Elsa Schiaparelli, owner Diego Della Valle has appointed Camilla Schiavone as the new CEO, WWD reports. Schiavone was previous brand manager for the fragrance division of L’Oréal. Della Valle is reportedly still searching for a designer to be named in September. [WWD]
Kate Middleton went camping this weekend, so of course the only thing that really matters is what she wore: Zara skinny jeans (which, as HuffPo points out, are inexpensive), a beige Burberry shirt, a vest of some sort, and $500 leather-lined Le Chameau wellington boots. [HuffPo]
Though this may just be a tale from the Condé Nast elevators (RIP!), it seems the publishing giant has forbid all of its contracted editors and photographers to work with Carine Roitfeld on her new glossy, CR. In charge of the ban is Condé's chairman, Jonathan Newhouse, who sent around a memo "ordering" them not to work with her. Just to jog your memory, that means Craig McDean, David Sims, Mario Testino and Mert & Marcus are on the DNHC list. [Page Six]
The New York Times would like you to know that Anna Winour isn't just the "icy, inscrutable character obsessed over in the tabloids." She's a real person, too, you guys. And Obama couldn't be more thankful. [NYTimes]
Erin Wasson is the latest model-turned-stylist-turned-designer to turn actress as well, making her big screen debut in Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Is that title or the seemingly ridiculous plot line confusing to anyone else? [Fashionista]
Demi Lovato jumped on the candy-colored hair trend and ombre'd her hair pink. It's very Katy Perry. [StyleWatch]
Katy Perry had some serious competition at last night's MuchMusic Awards. [Paper]
