If you work at Condenast , be careful what you say in the elevator !



A Twitter account chronicling conversations overheard in the New York building which houses Vogue magazine has become a huge internet hit.

The feed features bitchy comments and gossip overheard in the elevator which could come straight from the script of The Devil Wears Prada.

It has apparently been written by a worker at the headquarters of magazine publisher Conde Nast - and has 15,065 followers after only three days.

Here are some of our favorites so far:

Girl: Omigod what happened to your knee?! Fashion boy: Oh god, I fell dancing! Girl: Omigod it's like you came back from the war.

Fl 5 Lady peering at her friend's to-go box of lettuce and carrots: Ooooh, that looks good!

[Guy walks into elevator wearing "Legalize Gay" t-shirt] Teen Voguer: That shirt is so two months ago.

Girl #1: There should be an elevator that only goes to Vogue. Just up to the 12th floor and back down. Girl #2: totally.

[Girl holding brownie abashedly in elevator] Male coworker: I'm not judging you.

Summer Intern: My driver had SUCH a bad attitude. I was like, "don't complain to me, I didn't eat lunch either! You think I eat clothes?"

Official Cover of 'Carine Roitfeld: Irreverent' Book

OK , now I am seriously getting excited about this ! A book describing Miss Roitfeld's career , her life and style !

"Carine, and her vision of French Vogue, embodies all that the world likes to think of as Parisian style: a sense of chic that's impeccable and sometimes idiosyncratic and which forever lives on a moonlit street as seen through the lens of Helmut Newton."--Anna Wintour
Karl Lagerfeld once said that if you close your eyes and imagine the ideal French woman, it would be Carine Roitfeld. She is a fashion visionary and a muse. Since the start of her career in the early 1990s, through her collaborations with the legendary photographer Mario Testino, Roitfeld has been credited with launching Tom Ford's career at Gucci, as well as turning French Vogue into one of the industry's most worshipped magazines.

This elegant volume is a visual history of Roitfeld's fearless career. A daring instigator, she is known for pushing the limits with her subversive styling ideas. Featuring a selection of 250 magazine tear sheets and covers from pivotal editorial shoots and advertising campaigns, as well as intimate visual ephemera, this book gives an inside view into Roitfeld's creative thought process and sensibility. A must-have for those interested in cutting-edge fashion and femininity, this book will empower women to follow Roitfeld's lead and take risks with their personal style.
I am definitely gonna get one for myself plus a few extra for my BFFs !
LOVE IT

Street Style: New York Fashion Week photographed by Phil Oh

He's also aiming to capture the mood of New York City during one of the busiest—and chilliest—weeks of the year. Here is his dispatch, the first of many more to come.

Emmanuelle Alt !!!!


Vogue Paris announced on Friday that Emmanuelle Alt will take over Carine Roitfeld's position as editor-in-chief starting February 1st.
We can't say we're completely surprised.
Alt has worked at the mag for the past 10 years as Fashion Director, so it makes sense.
Congrats and good luck to you BB.
