The Editors S(tyle) factor: Kate Lanphear

Today I want to start a new special, these series of posts will feature the style of some of my favorite fashion editors, they are from all the magazines that you might know, and today I want to show you my favorite one <3. Her style is really amazing, she is Kate Lanphear, former Fashion Editor at ELLE US, and now Style Editor at T Magazine.

 

Can you imagine going to your most important job interview, wearing acid washed jeans, telling off your interviewer and ending up getting the job?, well, that is what she did: "Then one day in a vintage shop I found...a pair of skinny acid-wash jeans. It was like, Ahhh!—a halo was shining around them. I wore them every day. When I got my first big break, I thought, "Screw it, I'm wearing the jeans to the interview with the editor in chief." I wanted to see what would happen if I was real. I remember telling her, "I'm not your typical fashion editor. I work hard and I know my stuff, but you should know, I'll be the one wearing acid-wash jeans." I got the job."

She is well known for wearing Balenciaga shoes, and YSL (when it was YSL) blazers, she once said: "I could blow my life's savings on Givenchy and Alaïa". And who wouldn't?. Also she has a really amazing point of view on how fashion works: "Once those skinny jeans came into my life, everything that wasn't authentic—the whole WASPy facade—dropped away. That's the thing about fashion: You can use it to hide, but it's only magic when you use it to express who you really are."

A blonde asymmetrical bob, chains, studs, statement rings, lots of black, and her statement shoes are her signature. She is also intimate friend of jewelry designer Eddie Borgo, she was also the face of his campaign, and she usually wears his jewelry pieces now and then. Today I want to share with you her best looks so far.
