Grace Coddington, André Leon Talley, and R.J. Cutler Discuss Fighting and Facebook
Coddington and Cutler.
Vogue‘s Grace Coddington, André Leon Talley, and director R.J. Cutler gathered at the Barnes & Noble in Union Square last night to discuss the DVD release of The September Issue, chronicling the production of the biggest issue of their magazine. When asked their thoughts on the film, both editors had little to critique, though ALT revealed that he was hesitant about the entire project when production first began: “One day I saw Grace in the beginning of a fabulous show in Paris, at the Chanel Haute Couture show, having a huge row with R.J.,” he related, “and I was seated next to Anna Wintour and I just kept retreating to the back of my seat and thinking if this is what she’s having and he’s just begun, I’m going to pull back, too. So I said to him ‘I don’t want to have anything to do with you.’ But then we both became totally enamored and bonded and became friends.”
Cutler was quick to clarify: “Let me point out that the phrases ‘argument’ and ‘row’ both suggest a kind of dialogue, so the description of what was going on between Grace and me at the Chanel couture show I think has been misdescribed this evening. I think ‘pummeling’ might be a more apt description of the event itself, just for accuracy’s sake.” The firecracker in question was very excited about the extra scenes added to the DVD. “I was totally thrilled to see that the film got longer with all those outtakes, and of course, what I’m going to say is — I don’t know, but I’m especially pleased because my cats made the cut.”
Both editors also weighed in on how they think fashion is being portrayed in our culture right now and the influence of mediums like Twitter and Facebook. “André and I were agreeing that we don’t Twitter, we don’t blog, ” said Coddington. “I have a Facebook and a Twitter, I’m told, but I certainly didn’t start it and I certainly don’t, you know, look at it. I’ve never looked at it, and I certainly don’t add to it.” “Please! It’s fraudulent, it’s fraudulent! It’s fake, it’s bogus,” ALT interjected vehemently when informed he had both a Twitter and Facebook account in his name. “We really care about how something’s done and it takes us a long time to do it,” Coddington continued. “And it’s better for it, it really is. It’s done better. If you do something fast — which is what all those things make you do because you’re spending your whole time reading and then it’s outdated in ten minutes or something — I don’t think that’s good for fashion because we are, we’re trying to speed up all those poor designers so they have fifteen collections a year, and it’s stupid because how many dresses can you wear? It makes them do it not so well, or they have a breakdown, as just very sadly happened. Alexander McQueen killed himself, and that’s part of that hysteria. It breaks my heart.” ALT agreed: “We come from the generation and the school — I call it old-school, and old-school is good. New-school is great, but old-school is better, and we have just been brought up in a world where … standards were high and we try to be the standard-bearers of that kind of quality for Vogue.”

Julia Nobis Is London’s Top Model
London’s runways were a mix of the past, present, and future faces of modeling. Christopher Bailey at Burberry selected Karmen Pedaru to open and close his collection. Sigrid Agren was a hot commodity, per usual, opening for Jaeger London, Matthew Williamson, and Nicole Farhi. Rising star Kristy Kaurova booked her first opening look ever, for Paul Smith. Meanwhile, Mark Fast’s runway saw the return of the early aughts with Delfine Bafort opening and Anouck Lepère closing. But our eyes were on one very special flaxen-haired rookie: Julia Nobis. After scoring a Calvin Klein exclusive in New York, she went on to book the opening looks at Richard Nicoll and Topshop Unique. And just yesterday, she landed in Milan to walk for Prada. At this rate, Julia is quickly becoming this season’s breakout star. Click ahead to our slideshow to see all of London’s top openers and closers.

Flashback Fridays: Mandy Moore
Here’s a flashback of Mandy Moore back at the 1999 Billboard Music Awards. I love Mandy, but this skirt really deserves to be on a picnic table instead of the red carpet. What do you think of her style transformation?

Lady Gaga To Design Collection With Donatella Versace?
What is wrong with the world today? Is there anyone, anyone out there in the entertainment business, who isn’t reaching for a fashion designer (however brief) career?
Lady Gaga is rumored to have her own clothing collection in the works! Of course she’s doing this with the help of someone high in fashion: Donatella Versace. The Gaga Versace Collection is not a sure thing (a Versace spokesperson having denied the rumors), and I keep my fingers crossed for the rumor to prove wrong! It only seems like a very desperate marketing gesture from Donatella… and that is so sad, sad sad! (Not to mention the only reference I can get about Gaga wearing Versace is when she had a pair of them vintage shades with the Medusa blazon on) (via)

Are You Fit To Be A Fashion Designer? Weekend Psychology
After concluding that today was one of those days when you find out that even your cat is aiming to be a fashion designer, this comes as the natural question: who is really fit to be a designer?
Psychologists hurry with an answer, giving away a profile, an ideal personality profile for the ideal designer! It’s pretty scientific for a change, diluting the marketing mambo jumbo into few logical profiles. If you’re into it, then you should hit the jump to find out more about this psychostudy!
Based on the Jung Myers-Briggs personality types indicators (you can read more about it here), you can easily depict 16 personality types, all revolving around four concepts: Introversion vs Extroversion; Intuiting vs Sensing, Thinking vs Feeling and Judging vs Perceiving. If you’re curious about your type, you can take the test here and see what you’ll come up with! (it’s definitely not your average Cosmo-poll!) And if you’d like to share, I’m breaking the ice already: I’m an ESFP (a personality type most likely to be found in performers – if you take the test, when you score, you’ll also find a link to decrypting your personality type at the end. Good luck!)
So they thought the same personality type test applies to designers. And they came up with a poll to make it work. The answer? The best designer is an ISFJ. That comes from Introverted, Sensing, Feeling, Judging. Meaning a real fit designer likes to work alone, trying to understand the world in depth; also he or she is a data and facts person, practically accepting the world as it is, looking for harmony and being empathic, all through carefully planning and controlling with a real focus on results. How many can be ruled out of the “fit designer personality”? (via)
