Fashion Editors-Turned-Models

As of late, it's been noted that fashion editors — such as style icons Kate Lanphear, Taylor Tomasi-Hill, Joanna Hillman, and Anna Dello Russo — have fully transitioned into the world of modeling. After being followed by street style photographers for years, behind-the-scenes people are now known as the fashion industry's most talked-about and sought-after faces and personalities.

The advertising perspective considers this transformation to be a rather brilliant one. Highlighting the editors in the market where they have surpassed expertise comes with a value of trust, honor, and respect. Who better to represent pieces, clothing, and styles than the ones who create it?

The developing transition is expected to expand from this point. We believe it holds a substantial amount of inspiration, value, and following not only for magazines and their editors, but also for fashion in general — as well as those who follow it. For that reason, we applaud editors-turned-models, so long as they remain editors, too. What do you think of this evolution?

Burberry Expands at Bloomingdale's

A whole new set has been added to the Burberry selection at Bloomingdale's 59th Street flagship in New York City. This addition has created more Burberry in one store than anywhere else in the world, with eight areas that include children's, non-apparel, and Brit and London shops — all for men and women. 

While the size and selection of each Burberry shop differs throughout many global locations, one thing remains the same: interior design. They all consist of the same wooden decor, carpeting, and scent (which is courtesy of eucalyptus plants). This familiarity deems comforting to customers so that, no matter where their location may be, they will always recognize Burberry.

The Wednesday night opening was celebratory and included DJs, ale, and champagne for shoppers. Harper's Bazaar editor Joanna Hillman made an appearance in the women's London department on the fourth floor, and she provided customers with fashion advice and friendly conversation. How courteous!
