Fabulosity by Corbin Chamberlin
Minnie Mortimer
She’s a boarding school student gone artistically rouge in Paris, turned photographer and then found enlightenment in the surf. Wife, mother, rider of the waves and savant of the shirt dresses; this is a concentrated summary of the delightfully chic, Minnie Mortimer. The Manhattan native was subject to a stringent uniform mandate while attending private school in her youth; she revolted by customizing her uniform with darts, lining, buttons and other embellishments. This rebellious...
Eleanor Banco
As director of public relations for Teen Vogue and Style.com, Eleanor Banco plays the role of party planner, product pusher and image keeper of the two fashion-media empires. Banco is responsible for keeping the public image of publications as glossy as the pages it is printed on. “I am responsible for the image of the magazine,” she says. “I work to promote Teen Vogue's covers, feature articles and editors to members of the press.” As you would imagine, working at Teen Vogue and Style.Com would demand a character of incredible fashion sense.

New York Fashion Week Highlights
This season at Fashion Week, many changes were underway; gone are the days where we gathered in the tents of Bryant Park to view the shows. We now are finding fashion refuge in Lincoln Center.

Glenda Bailey
At the helm of Harpers Bazaar; Glenda Bailey is one of fashion’s most powerful heavy weights. As editor-in-chief of the 143-year-old fashion publication, Bailey plays composer to her readers as she seamlessly orchestrates one of America’s largest women's magazines. Before the U.K. native took her post at Harpers in 2001, she was editor-in-chief of Marie Claire and Honey magazines. Bailey breaks all fashion editor stereotypes with her refined charm and soft English accent—you will see no “The Devil Wears Prada” bravado from Bailey. Bailey’s talent to offer and translate the best material for her readers has made the publication extremely successful. While talking to the...
