Where will Vogue's senior beauty editor go next?
Where will Vogue's senior beauty editor go next?
Shakeups at the magazine make me wonder what their future looks like.
Good morning everyone. It’s my birthday tomorrow and I would like three things:
For you to get a paid sub to this letter :) I spend a lot of time on it and it makes me happy. When I say it’s changed my life, it’s not an exaggeration. I’m so grateful to have made hundreds of new friends through it, and to have been able to work on so many new projects because of it. It makes me smarter and more interesting, and I hope it has done the same for you by a fraction. The relationship I have my readers feels oddly intimate and warm, and I know it’s not for everyone but judging by the NUMBERS, it seems like it’s for a lot of you.
A brand deal with a fabulous menswear brand that wants to swag me the hell out.

Anyway…
Last summer, I was driving out east to work on something for my movie, and my tire popped and I had to go to an autobody shop to get it fixed (sorry dad), and now that autobody shop is a Flamingo Estate and Mytheresa pop-up. A self-described “source for consciously sourced pleasure,” Flamingo Estate offers a range of the fabulously decadent (jars of honey for $250 hailing from the gardens of notable names including Julianne Moore, Will Ferrell, and Ai Wei Wei) to the hilariously banal (like a 9 lb bag of manure, available for $75—local delivery only). The announcement Instagram post reads, “When we heard that the old Auto Body Shop in East Hampton was available, we immediately thought, why don’t we create The Mytheresa x Flamingo Estate Summer Body Shop? One where instead of car parts, we sell everything our minds and bodies need.” So what the hell am I supposed to do next time I get a flat tire on Montauk Highway?
Vogue’s senior beauty editor Lauren Valenti left the magazine after six years. Where oh where will she go? And how is Vogue doing these days… The other day I was on the roof of Equinox at Hudson Yards (flex) and I heard a guy talking on the phone to someone and it went like this: “I mean I get it’s Conde, I get it’s like VOGUE and everything, but I’d take the job at Fox if I were you.”
