Here were the search terms taking folks to the Lucire ‘Insider’ section yesterday. The day before was similar, but instead of Heidi Klum, it was Vanessa Paradis. Celebrities, still, sell.

The Parkers finally beat some long-standing records for searches for the Jaguar XJ launch (where Lucire published the first official unembargoed image of the new car) and a couple of other popular stories we did this year.

I was going to get an early night, but really couldn’t let the day pass without writing an editorial about 9-11. I remember going to bed in the small hours of September 12 (NZST) thinking that nothing was happening. Was I ever wrong. By 6 a.m., a friend had already called me to tell me what had happened in New York and the Pentagon.
   I put it up at Lucire, since most of (our) September 12, 2001 revolved around fashion, both at New York Fashion Week and the Wellington Fashion Festival. Your thoughts on the piece are welcome.

[Cross-posted from Lucire] Lucire has a distinct Italian flavour at the moment, thanks in part to photographer Thomaz and his Milano shots from two fashion week shows so far: Byblos and Frankie Morello. Of the two, Morello is more newsworthy in its three-dimensional, origami quality; Byblos is more subtle, using silks and cashmere in showing off a structured, almost military inspiration.
   Stanley Moss, who gave us news of a special at the splendid Palazzo Magnani Feroni in Firenze, reports on more bargains in these budget-conscious times from Italy’s most artistic city. Whether you are shopping for gloves and handbags, ceramics, or a great-value meal that includes truffles, then his ‘Florentine Insider’ article has the low-down.
   The world does not revolve around Italy, as much as we would like it to: Elyse Glickman and Leyla Messian report from Hollywood on the Golden Globes’ suites, and we show off some beds that we spotted at a Design Mobel launch in Wellington, New Zealand last Wednesday.

If you are around Wellington on Saturday, come along to Queen’s Wharf from 2 to 4 p.m., where Carolyn Enting and I will host New Clothes for the New Year, a celebration of fashion and dance to kick off the Lunar New Year.
   I was thrilled this year that the Asian Events’ Trust’s Stephannie Tims chose my Yan Series 333 typeface for display and supported our company.

[Cross-posted from Lucire] We like this idea: Above + Below London, a new footwear label, uses fabrics that have been reclaimed from London buses and Underground carriages from the 1950s through to the 1990s—with the permission of Transport for London. Some are rare and will likely take wearers back to an earlier era. Continued at Lucire.

Anne Hathaway—Lancôme Magnifique

[Cross-posted from Lucire] We’ve put up some extra images from behind the scenes of the Lancôme Magnifique TV commercial, starring Anne Hathaway and directed by Peter Lindbergh, this week. A video showing the making of the commercial was shown on the Lucire TV site last month.

While I love the fashion groups here on Vox, I thought it might be useful if fashion professionals—designers, interns, pattern-makers, photographers, stylists, make-up artists, publicists, journalists, and others—had a group where they could network and share their experiences. As of today, there is a fashion professionals’ group on Vox for the industry and anyone who is thinking of entering the fashion professions. I’ve stuck a few things on there to kick it off, and welcome others. (I hope the respective group owners will permit me mentioning this on their groups.)
