JAYFIELDEN@HEARST.COM @JAYFIELDEN In this job I often find myself surrounded by microfanatics: wine geeks, watch obsessives, fashionistas, political junkies, social butterflies, art worshipers, and, well, at the risk of sounding like a know-it-all on the topic of my own expertise, I’ll add one more: vintage car people. I don’t technically qualify as an MF myself. I know a little about a lot of things, not a lot about a little. Steiner, Marcello Mastroianni’s mysterious friend in La Dolce Vita, said it best: “I’m too serious to be a dilettante and too much a dabbler to be a professional.” There are times, however, when the allure of the MFs’ way of life—bonded together as they are like happy neutrons in the magnetic field of their obsession—gets to me, and I can’t…
TERRY RICHARDSON “Katherine Waterston was such a great sport,” says the photographer of his subject, who had to endure the unpredictable waters of New York Harbor for our cover story, “The Late Show” (page 200). “She still looked effortlessly beautiful despite the queasiness.” Richardson has shot campaigns for Valentino and Gucci and contributed to Harper’s Bazaar, French Vogue, and Vanity Fair. His first full-career monograph, Portraits and Fashion (Rizzoli), was published this year. DAVID SALLE “Frank Stella’s aggressive visual style more or less dominated the art world for decades,” says Salle, who reviews the Stella retrospective at New York’s Whitney Museum in “Modern Geometry” (page 112). A regular contributor to T&C, he has also written for Artforum and the Paris Review; his collected essays will be published by W.W. Norton…
ALL GOOD THINGS Thank you for the radiant pictures of and delightful article about Kirsten Dunst in your September issue [“Queen of Surprises”]. Is there a more luminous and stunning presence in front of a camera lens today? Her superbly committed and layered performance in Melancholia demonstrates a dramatic range that so far her films have only scratched the surface of. Dale Winogura, LOS ANGELES OVERHEARD ON SOCIAL MEDIA @1QUALTHEFINEST: Read about style icon Olivier Saillard in @TANDCMAG. Why was “style icon” never an option during career day? @BOOKBEAGLEBENZ: “A special pullout guide to Switzerland.” That’s rich. @TANDCMAG @SUMMERWIND41490: The styling by @MRWILLKAHN on p. 246 of @TANDCMAG’s #SEPTEMBERISSUE is CHANGING LANES A while back I wrote you criticizing your magazine for losing its informative style of keeping us abreast…
E.B. White once quipped, “Advertisers are the interpreters of our dreams.” In the era of helicopter parents and the Tiger Mom, those dreams must involve family, as even the most avant-garde campaigns are pushing the establishment. It turns out the trendiest thing in fashion may be the most traditional unit of them all. The power of the power clan is nothing new in Hollywood (or here at T&C). Witness the Ewings, the Carringtons, and the multiple Kennedy miniseries. Watchmaker Patek Philippe understood the tribal pull early, launching its Generations campaign in 1996. The ads depict a handsome mother and daughter or father and son. “You never actually own a Patek,” the tagline goes. “You merely look after it for the next generation.” In 2012, Lanvin designer Alber Elbaz made headlines…
Emma Hearst and John Barker met as students at the Culinary Institute of America, in Hyde Park, New York, in 2006, but romance wasn’t on the menu initially. Two years later, when Emma opened her (now closed) Manhattan restaurant, Sorella, with John as sous chef, they bonded in the kitchen’s close confines, laughing over past romantic missteps. Defeat was also shared: Assisted by John, Emma, the youngest Iron Chef America competitor ever, lost “Battle Mozzarella.” Romance bloomed in 2012, after Emma moved to Oahu and invited John to visit. “It finally hit me,” she says. “Through our entire friendship the love of my life was standing right in front of me.” Two years later the couple were engaged. Their April 2015 wedding took place on the historic Hearst Ranch, developed…
