Fashion Scoop: Chrissy Teigen Vows To Never Photoshop, London Fashion Week Gets New Home, Style.com To Be Folded Into Vogue


  • It’s pretty common knowledge that a lot people do a little “perfecting” before posting a selfie on social media. It’s nothing major, but every once in a while some take it a tad overboard. Chrissy Teigen has decided not to take party, saying she will never use body-altering apps every again. Of course, we’re assuming this is only for social media. (Racked)

  • Saturday morning, Nepal was rocked by a 7.9 magnitude earthquake that has seen a death toll of more than 1,200 people. Nepalese-raised designer Prabal Gurung acted swiftly, galvanizing support and finances to assist in the relief effort. So far, the designer has raised more than $20,000. (Out)

  • Looks like New York Fashion Week isn’t the only industry event that’s relocating; London Fashion Week has now announced that they too have moved. Beginning in September, shows will take place at Brewer Street Car Park in Soho, which is more central to the city than Somerset House. Events will take over two floors of the space. (Fashionista)

  • Did you think you had heard the last of Google Glass? Think again. The tech company is said to be working on their second version and looping in a fashion name early in the process. Italian luxury eyewear company Luxottica is going to be instrumental in the process. Luxottica is also the team behind Ray-Bans as well as Giorgio Armani’s eyewear. (Racked)

  • A few months ago, there were rumors that Style.com was getting rolled into the Vogue umbrella and today those rumors are verified. Starting this Fall, Style.com will become an e-commerce venture for Conde Nast with all editorial content rolled under Vogue in a new site: VogueRunway.com. The new Style.com will sell clothes, tech and homewares to respect the breadth of Conde Nast publications and will start off based in London this fall before expanding to the U.S. early next year. It will be quite an interesting transition to watch. (Business of Fashion)
