Margaret Russell Announces New Editorial Staff at Architectural Digest

0604archretire2.jpg

Following this summer’s news that Paige Rense Noland was retiring and Elle Decor‘s Margaret Russell was taking over as Editor-in-Chief, all the big changes at Architectural Digest are almost complete with today’s announcement of the magazine’s almost entirely all-new editorial staff. As you might recall from our post about Russell landing the top job, with that shift in leadership also came a move from Los Angeles to New York, where the magazine will now be located. Although a few staffers from before the swap are keeping their jobs and staying on back in LA, the majority come from other New York-based magazines, as well as a few who had worked for Russell at Elle Decor. Here’s the complete list:

  • Executive Editor: Sarah Medford, formerly Director of Arts, Culture & Design at Town & Country
  • Managing Editor: Lawrence Karol, formerly Executive Managing Editor at W Magazine
  • Special Projects Editor: Mitchell Owens, formerly Editor at Large at Elle Decor
  • Interiors Editor: Robert Rufino, formerly Vice President of Creative Services at Tiffany & Co., and most recently, a Senior Editor at Large at House Beautiful
  • Design Editor: Howard Christian, formerly manager of the Treillage design/home-furnishings/garden shops
  • Style Editor: Elana Frankel, formerly Decorating Editor at Martha Stewart Living
  • Senior Writer: Sam Cochran, formerly a freelance writer specializing in design, arts and culture, and travel
  • Copy Chief: Kate Hambrecht, formerly Copy Chief at Elle Decor
  • Assistant Editor, Digital: Katherine Jerde, formerly Editorial Assistant at Architectural Digest in Los Angeles
  • Margaret Dunne, the former Executive Editor of Architectural Digest in Los Angeles has been named Consulting Editor, as has former Special Projects Manager, James Munn, both will remain in Los Angeles. George Moscahlades, Architectural Digest‘s former Art Director, will stay on as Consulting Designer in New York.

    Borstal Spots & Polka Dots

    Emerging London talent Richie Culver’s poignant collage work
    rculver1.jpg

    Master of manipulation Richie Culver, with his arsenal of old photos and sharp-witted text, creates artwork with the one-two punch of a compelling soundbite that probes into both famous and more intimate historical moments. While the works function as pop homages too, his piece “Have You Ever Really Loved Anyone?”—an iconic image of Jesse Owens with those words plastered across—was the highlight of the May 2010 group show at the Tate Modern and suggests the dual forces at play.

    Culver, who had rockstar dreams of his own, turns his song titles and lyrics into paintings and collage, a selection of which is currently on view in his debut solo show “Borstal Spots & Polka Dots.”

    rculver2.jpg

    Also included in the exhibit are a smattering of Culver’s own photographs he’s taken over the years. The black-and-white collection is not too different from his textual works though, with each perfectly composed image functioning as one sentence from a much larger conversation.

    rculver10.jpg

    A majority of his work seemingly revolves around love and relationships—a concept clearly demonstrated in the painting “I Loved You, You Just Couldn’t See It” but also in collage form. An image of a nun states “One fuck and she was anybody’s,” while the picture of a bride reads “aware of the ways of men.” Culver titles an alarming photo of a pouty-lipped woman with scars up her arm simply, “A love story.”

    rculver3.jpg

    With a show dedicated solely to his personal photos planned for late 2010 and a cover shot for the forthcoming I Blame Coco album Constant hitting shelves soon, Culver continues to explore concepts that speak to his roots.

    Reviewed on Le Cool as “A small, but moving show,” Culver’s “Borstal Spots & Polka Dots” runs through 26 September at London’s West 11 Gallery.

    MAD Unveils ‘Eat Drink Art Design’ Exhibition, Adds New Curator


    New at MAD: Sol LeWitt’s hand-etched crystal glasses for Artel (2003) and new curator Ronald T. Labaco

    Who needs to watch Julia Roberts eat-pray-loving her way across the big screen when you can admire trailblazing tableware created by the likes of Roy Lichtenstein, Jurgen Bey, Cindy Sherman, and Boym Partners? These are just a few of the artists and designers featured in “vaguely menacing Ron Gilad flatware!) On view through March 27 of next year at New York’s Museum of Arts and Design (MAD), the show of 60 pieces—all from the museum’s collection—ranges from handcrafted mid-century pots and elegant spatular implements to more conceptual works such as sodium urn?

    Also new to MAD is decorative arts and design curator and historian Ronald T. Labaco, who has just been appointed Marcia Docter Curator of the museum. Labaco has been curator of decorative arts and design at the High Museum in Atlanta since 2007, and previously worked as an independent curator and as an assistant curator of decorative arts at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. “The Museum of Arts and Design is internationally acclaimed for the originality and boldness of its exhibitions and programming,” said Labaco in a statement announcing his appointment. “I am thrilled to be joining such a talented and distinguished team, and to find ways to further push the envelope with them in the world of contemporary arts and design.” His first day on the job will be October 11.

    pAs you’ve seen over the course of these posts, design is a processmdash;and a constantly evolving one at that. We have spent the past couple of weeks combing through feedback from Design Museum Boston, a general audience, and from all of you. Thank you all. You’ve been an integral part of helping us determine the next part of the process./p

    Daily Obsesh – Panasonic Electric Eyelash Curler

    imageI have always coveted those women with sultry eyes masked in lusciously thick, long, dark eyelashes. From Cleopatra to Marilyn Monroe and even, dare I say, Kim Kardashian, women with long eyelashes exude a sense of sexiness that I think is totally unmatched. And most women would agree! Just look at what we go through to mimic their look – lash curlers, fake eyelashes, eyelash tints and even tattooing along the lash line for a permanent eyeliner look, not to mention the hundreds and hundreds of dollars we have tossed away over the years at various drugstores, cosmetic counters at the mall and Sephora, on what we thought was a miracle in a mascara tube.
    We’ve tortured ourselves with fakies becoming unglued in the most embarrassing of moments (I think mine might have fallen in to my cosmo one night at a bar as I was chatting up some sweet young thing). We’ve screeched in pain as we’ve accidentally clamped down on our lids with a curler in the hopes of sculpting our lashes back far enough to graze our foreheads. And what about all those half used tubes a black tar that we’ve cast away frustrated with their empty promises? Yet, with every new product on the market, there is another glimmer of hope.
    Enter modern day’s newest invention – the Panasonic Electric Eyelash Curler! Eyelashes are gently lifted and enhanced with luscious curves for natural looking beauty with double-action heated pads. This electric curler creates longer lasting curls so you can bat those beautiful lashes all day and night and, like the old saying goes, if you got it, flaunt it! If you don’t? Fake it!

    pCreativity doesn’t really fit within a billable hours, 9-5 workday model. But as designers, applying creativity in practical ways, we’re constantly tinkering with this conundrum, trying to find the best ways to fit inspiration into efficient and productive structures. One of these structures is working within team-based conditions, a model that many design agencies have jumped on. br /
