Fashionina makes a bold move
Rare is the occasion I bust out my high school Spanish, but this calls for an, “¡Ay Dios mio!” Though no official announcement has been made, it’s suspected that former Elle Magazine fashion director and spicy Project Runway judge Nina Garcia will likely move on to a different position of even higher authority at Marie Claire very soon, possibly even before the next season of Project Runway is scheduled to premiere (likely sometime in the fall of 2008).
My relationship to glossy fashion magazines is a lot like that of a mother to her children—I have a clear favorite, but I have to pretend to love them all equally. I hate to admit it, but I thought Marie Claire went out of print years ago with McCall’s and Rosie Magazine. Seeing it on newsstands still gives me the chills, looking like a weird hybrid of Cosmopolitan and AARP Magazine. Still, I have hope that Auntie Nina will be able to take the boring old rag and infuse it with her vast knowledge and signature brand of sass—transforming it from a dingy old poncho into a high fashion serape.
