Reading a Fashionista feature on former ELLE editor Kate Davidson Hudson -- who's one-half of the commanders of e-commerce meets "modern fashion magazine" platform Editorialist, I was reminded of Kate Lanphear -- punk rock-edgy phenom, and one of my downtown style pegs. She, who left her post as Style Director ELLE last year -- after six mighty years (!) -- and was reportedly turned down for the WSJ EIC job, has since moved on to work for New York Times' T Magazine, as -- what else? -- its Style Director.I wonder how ELLE's trends pages look now without plantinum-bobbed Kate's (I want to go first-name basis on girl friend) sense and direction. I read the informative American ELLE, and TRENDS is definitely one of the things I look forward to when I buy back issues from heavenly BookSale.
