And our April cover star is… Kim Kardashian. You can now read the ELLE Magazine Feature here ->> At Home With Kim Kardashian West <<
What happens when two of fashion media’s most seasoned powerhouses finally join forces? We’re about to find out. Elle’s new power duo — editor-in-chief Nina Garcia and creative director Stephen Gan — reveal their plans for media domination.
How long have you known each other? Nina Garcia: Intimately? Not so long, but a good 15 years, at least. Stephen Gan: We’ve seen each other sitting front row at shows during Fashion Week for many years, and we’ve exchanged pleasantries, but we didn’t really know each other. There’s been mutual respect and admiration. It’s a really good foundation.
For Nina Garcia, Elle magazine is the one that got away. “You know the boyfriend that you are always pining for, [thinking] what would it have been like had I stayed?” she told BoF last week. Garcia was in her office on the 24th floor of Hearst Tower, nearly ten years after she exited the magazine, and about five months since she was named Elle’s editor-in-chief.
The March issue is here. Angelina Jolie speaks out for women across the globe; because being an American citizen means being a global citizen. Thank you to Mariano Vivanco, Samira Nasr and my incredible team at ELLE for making this beautiful idea come to life.
Nina Garcia Named Editor-In-Chief of Elle
Hearst Magazines today announced that Nina Garcia has been appointed editor-in-chief of ELLE, the No. 1 fashion magazine brand in the world, with 46 international editions. Garcia succeeds Robbie Myers, editor-in-chief since 2000, who is stepping down. The announcement was made by Hearst President and CEO Steven R. Swartz and Hearst Magazines President David Carey. Garcia will report to Hearst Magazines Chief Content Officer Joanna Coles, and begins in her new role on September 18.
Garcia has been creative director of Marie Claire since 2012; before that, she was Marie Claire’s fashion director from 2008 to 2012, and fashion director of ELLE from 2000 to 2008. She began her fashion media career at Mirabella. While at Marie Claire, Garcia introduced franchise editorial sections including the twice-yearly ‘Shoes First,’ which has expanded internationally as a live event platform, as well as ‘What Nina Loves’ and ‘Fashion Week Diaries,’ which chronicle her personal style choices. Under her direction, Marie Claire’s fashion content won numerous awards, including the Accessories Council’s ACE Award and the Jewelers of America GEM Award. Garcia has also hosted the red carpet for ABC’s Oscar telecast and been a judge on the Peabody Award-winning show Project Runway since it launched in 2004.
So proud of all the Marie Claire team that work in our first sustainability issue, an entire magazine dedicated to the environmental causes we care about most. As part of this issue I had the pleasure to sit down with a dear friend and fellow tech geek Miroslava Duma to discuss Fashion Technology Lab, her new venture set on bringing sustainable innovation to the fashion industry.

Hello Subscribers!
I hope everyone’s 2017 is off to a great start.Every so often, I like to assess my desk set up, which usually results in a little rearranging to help with work flow and creativity.
For #NGQ09, I selected my office favorites sot hat your work life can be just as chic as you are!
First things first, you need to get to and from work in style. I chose a beautiful and classic TOTE FROM KARL LAGERFELD PARIS that will keep you organized and stylish. There is an inside pocket for the items you need easy access to, as well as a removable cross body strap for handsfree multitasking. This tote will compliment any of your work outfits, so you can start your day feeling confident. Once you are at your desk at work or home, take the remaining products from the mailing and arrange them as you see fit.
The items that sit on my desk are not only aesthetically pleasing, but of high utility, and I hope you find what I’ve chosen to be both!
I like to start the day with a cup of tea as I write down my to-dos. I have included a box of ANTIOXIDANT TEA FROM YOUR TEA for you to enjoy as you plan your day in the morning or for an afternoon pick me up.
Use the NOTEPAD FROM RIFLE PAPER CO. to help outline your day.I love the print, and once you have completed the day’s work, tear off the sheet to reveal a fresh start for tomorrow.
An absolute office must-have (and basically anywhere, anytime) for me is my ORGANIC HERBAL LIP BALM FROM DERMATOLOGIST DR.BARNEY KENET. If you like this lip balm, or want to try out other Dr. Barney Kenet products, checkout the promo code that you can apply to future purchases.
Next are two office supply items that I find I am always reaching for. These GOLD HANDLED SCISSORS FROM OH, HELLO FRIEND and the ACRYLIC TAPE DISPENSER FROM RUSSELL+ HAZEL look beautiful on the desk and are frequently in use.
Lastly, the GOLD MIRRORED TRAY FROM AMERICAN ATELIER looks lovely sitting on the desk, and is where I like to keep my beauty items, tea, and sometimes a vase with flowers. It’s a great focal point for the desk and can help keep it clutter free by giving the most used tools a home.
I hope you enjoy the contents of this mailing, and find that they improve your work life. As always, Iwould love to hear your feedback on the package, as well as see photos of your work space with your new office items. Please be sure to use the hashtag #NGQ09 for any feedback and photos.Thank you so much for subscribing!
I’m eager to discuss the contents of #NGQ08 with you as it’s a chance for me to highlight some of the best brands creating eco-friendly, health conscious, and sustainable products. It’s important to be informed about how the products you purchase are created, and it is certainly something we are thinking about in the fashion and beauty industry.
Let’s start with the SEA SPRAY from FRENCH GIRL ORGANICS, a brand that hand makes each product from organic and vegan materials, and is devoid of animal testing. Use the spray to get that casual yet beautiful French girl hairstyle everyone desires to achieve. This product also works well to pump up volume on hair when in between washes (spray on roots for this effect).
MAYA WATER FACIAL MIST is a particularly lovely product. It’s a pH neutral formula that contains thermal waters from Skogshorn in Hemsedal, Norway. This spray is so luxurious, it’s like a mini spa treatment that you can experience throughout the day. If skin feels dry or tired, #NGQ08 3 just give a little spritz of Maya Water for instant refreshment.
W3LL PEOPLE is a brand I have been supportive of for some time. Their cosmetic formulas are wonderful and made of 100% natural ingredients. All products are created in small batches in the U.S., and tested in house by their beauty professionals, in a cruelty free way, of course. I chose their EXPRESSIONIST MASCARA in black as it will keep your lashes looking lovely and your delicate eye area free from any harsh chemicals.
SYNERGY ORGANIC CLOTHING partners with workers in Nepal to create their products, and one of their main focuses is to help empower women financially. The TISSUE INFINITY SCARF is made of 100% organic cotton and low impact dyes. I selected this scarf because it’s the perfect transitional piece and a layer that will seamlessly fit in with a variety of looks already in your closet as we head into fall.
This sweet little KEY NECKLACE by ARIANA OST is the perfect everyday jewelry item that has the feel of a classic, signature piece. It can be worn alone, but would also look quite pretty layered with some shorter, more delicate necklaces from #NGQ08 4 your jewelry box. Ariana’s jewelry is handmade and handcrafted in the US, and this piece uses recycled chains. Her necklaces are designed and produced with longevity in mind in order to be passed down to future generations.
I always love to sport a classic pair of SUNGLASSES. This pair that I selected from JOHNNY FLY CO. is a classic style, in a chic tortoise pattern. The glasses are made from acetate, solid natural wood, and even packaged in a sustainable wooden case. I love that you can achieve a fashionable look while being friendly to the environment. Good Cloth offers both ethical and sustainable fashions.
The FIESTA CLUTCH from GOOD CLOTH will certainly add some excitement to what can sometimes be the muted color palette of fall. The clutch is made out of recycled huipils by a member of an all female fair trade weaving cooperative. The artisans are paid a fair wage for their beautiful work, and if there is any material leftover after creating the clutches, they craft that into more accessories, which they sell at the local market.
I hope you enjoy all of the included items, and I am excited for you to work them into your fall wardrobe and routine. I would love to see how you style the contents of this mailing, so please tag all photos as well as any package feedback with #NGQ08 so that I can check in. I encourage you to continue researching and asking questions around the practices and production of the brands you enjoy. Thank you so much for subscribing.
