Meet the New Hires at Vogue and Cosmopolitan

Anna Wintour isn't the only person who got a new job this week.

Anna Wintour isn't the only person who got a new job this week. Wintour has hired New York Magazine deputy editor Jon Gluck to be the new managing editor at Vogue.

Gluck (above at left), who had been at New York for a decade, will replace Vogue's longtime managing editor Laurie Jones starting April 8. Jones left the magazine at the end of February after 20 years there. Coincidentally, Jones also came to Vogue from New York, where she'd spent the previous 20 years of her career. (While at New York, Jones hired Wintour as the magazine's fashion editor in 1981.)

Elsewhere in the magazine industry, Joanna Coles, who'd been hard at work restructuring her staff at Cosmpolitan, has hired Shopbop head stylist Aya Yanai as the magazine's fashion director. Michelle McCool, who had been Cosmo's fashion director for 10 years, left the magazine just last month. Yanai has worked in fashion glossies in the past: before Shopbop, she was the senior fashion editor at Teen Vogue and fashion director at Nylon.

  • After a year-and-a-half as editor in chief of Vogue Paris, Emmanuelle Alt has introduced a redesign that features a renewed focus on the magazine's status as the only Vogue title that represents a city, not a nation. "It's the concept of the 'Parisienne.'" she said. "The 'Parisienne' is a girl who makes people dream worldwide, rightly or wrongly — a girl who represents a particular style, a taste, an allure." [WWD]

  • "Ultimately, shoes are just a really fun mode of escapism for a woman," said Man Repeller Leandra Medine on a tour of her shoe closet. "The higher the heel, the more fantasy is put into the shoe." [Footwear News]

Emma Stone Admits to Feeling "Goofy" and "Wonky" in New York Magazine

Emma Stone is on the cover of this week's New York Magazine, and inside the issue she chats all about her new movie, The Amazing Spider-Man.

Emma Stone is on the cover of this week's New York Magazine, and inside the issue she chats all about her new movie, The Amazing Spider-Man. It's a big month for the actress — Emma Stone also covers July's Vogue. Emma did a rather personal interview with one of New York's writers, touching on being high-strung and not obsessed with looks. She also talked around her relationship with Spider-Man costar and real-life boyfriend Andrew Garfield. Here are highlights from Emma Stone in NY Mag:

  • On sometimes being high-strung: "I ­project things onto situations that aren't necessarily happening . . . I'll think that someone is saying something or thinking something, and I'll react emotionally as if that were the truth. Sometimes I think someone is whispering to someone else about me, and I get sad, and then I'm reacting like I'm sad for hours when it really isn't happening."
  • On dating Andrew Garfield: "It's just not necessarily stuff I want the whole world to read and have an opportunity to comment on. I'm sorry, I hate to be that actress who says, 'I don't talk about my personal life.' Eeesh! I was such a fan as a kid, and there were so many people I wanted to know about. I understand it; I just can't bring myself to do it. I freak out having a Facebook."
  • On thinking about being pretty: "The pretty thing . . . It was never a value to me growing up. I always thought I was like the goofy, wonky one."

Jessica Simpson donned a huge blond wig and a draped denim jacket for the cover of this week's New York Magazine. She posed pantsless for photographer Ruven Afanador in its Spring fashion issue and opened up to Amy Larocca for the interview. Jessica's been hard at work on her Jessica Simpson Collection, and with the brand poised to make $1 billion in sales this year, she talked about her success in the industry. She also recounted first meeting fiancé Eric Johnson and recalled the moment he proposed. Here's more:

  • On first meeting Eric: "Was it love at first sight? No. I don't know if I believe in that. But it was definitely I could love this man. And maybe I already do."
  • On the proposal: "It was a complete shock, a beautiful shock. It felt great for somebody to be on his knee, and I had to sit on that knee because I was so excited and overwhelmed I couldn't even stand. Knowing that I had his knee to sit on in that moment was very magical. The way I always wanted it to be."
  • On following the "Artist's Way": "My fiancé taught me that. He'll get up in the morning and just write, so nothing blocks his emotional life. It doesn't even have to be in sentence form; he just gets everything out, and that way he can function without getting in the way of himself, without being aggressive or judgmental. We do that together. Sometimes he takes that hour just reading, we'll get out of bed and just read aloud to each other. He has so many books. Like, just books and books and books and books."
  • On designing for all ages: "I can fill all different kinds of genres in fashion, music, TV, film, personality. I just relate to all of it. So we reach out to all ages. Like just the other day my nana asked for a pair of jeggings because we sent her a pair of boots that went up to her knee, and she was like, 'For this I think I need a pair of jeggings.'"

Ryan Gosling Heats Up a Cold Winter Monday With a Steamy New York Mag Cover

Ryan Gosling gives a serious stare on the cover of New York Magazine this week.

Ryan Gosling gives a serious stare on the cover of New York Magazine this week. He keeps the hotness coming in a spread shot by Art Streiber, in which he plays the ukulele like his romantic character in Blue Valentine. Ryan's been promoting the film, in theaters Dec. 31, with his costar Michelle Williams, though he's currently sharing the screen with Kirsten Dunst in the recently released All Good Things. Both of his leading ladies talked to the magazine about starring with Ryan, and he opened up about his work, Hollywood standards, and more:

  • On Blue Valentine: “The film is like that Supremes song ‘Where Did Our Love Go.’ It’s a mystery and you in the audience are the detective because the characters in the movie are too close to it — they’re not able to see what went wrong, what happened. They still love each other, but they’re not in love: Why?”
  • On staying in the moment: “I know it sounds dramatic, but every movie I make is the first and last. It’s important for me to think that the things you’ve made, they’re in the past. It’s what you’re making now that matters.”
  • On Hollywood standards: “Some of us are tired of all the sissies in this town, the ones who go along, flow with the flow, line up where they’re told to line up at. The studios want you to make the same movie over and over again — if that’s the movie they liked, that’s the movie you should keep making.”
  • Michelle Williams on working with Ryan: “You’ve got to fight dirty, you’ve got to bite his ear, because if I tried to match his energy and speed, I would never win. With all that capacity, Ryan could be a steamroller. I know guys like that, and they take up all the air. I thought, I’m timid and I’m not going to be able to breathe. But within minutes I knew how wrong I had been. He’s incredibly sensitive and generous and will do anything to help you.”
  • Kirsten Dunst on Ryan: “Ryan is kind and adorable, yet also really dark and weird and manipulative. Everything you’d want in an actor.”

Are Vegetables the New Meat?

The idea that vegetables should be the star of a meal over perennially-championed animal protein has been a long time coming.

The idea that vegetables should be the star of a meal over perennially-championed animal protein has been a long time coming. It's something we've suspected would happen ever since we learned about non-vegetarian chef Jeremy Fox's vegetable-driven cuisine at Ubuntu.

Today, in "Vegetables Are the New Meat," New York Magazine discusses the vegesplosion, even going so far as to coin the term "vegivore" to describe non-vegetarian eaters who possess "fervent vegetable love rather than ardent meat hate."

I'm the perfect case study: a diner who enjoys eating meat, but can't stop extolling the vegetable. After all, there's nothing more stunning than a savory tomato tart or marinated baby vegetables. Are you a vegivore, too?

"It’s there, it’s one of those things. My big concern is what does he have going, what do I have going, what are we going to do this weekend. It must seem weird, I guess, having so many people watching. It is weird. I get it. But you just, you know, smile and nod.
