BOY MEETS GIRL TEAMS WITH VERONICA WEBB: Boy Meets Girl has joined forces with Veronica Webb to launch a capsule collection. The linkup, called Boy Meets Girl Black Label x Veronica Webb, was released today exclusively on boymeetsgirlusa.com. The collection features images of Webb, photographed by Sophie Elgort.
The collaboration consists of a 10-piece, street style-inspired ath-leisure collection, including unisex tops, women’s hoodies, sweats, sweatshirts and T-shirts, as well as toddler and infant sizes for boys and girls. Retail prices range from $40 to $100.
Stacy Igel, founder and creative director of Boy Meets Girl, said she was introduced to Webb through a mutual friend. “She had been a fan of Boy Meets Girl, and I had been a longtime fan of hers,” Igel said. She noted that she and Webb and a revenue sharing deal in place.

“I love this collection because it’s all about freedom and that’s super fresh and super fierce,” said Webb, the 52-year-old model, actress and television personality, who was also the first African-American to have a major cosmetics contact — with Revlon.
Elgort said, “Veronica Webb is not only a legend, she’s a role model. As one of the true pioneers of the industry, it was an honor to photograph her. I remember the pictures my father [Arthur Elgort] had shot of her in his book, “Model’s Manual,” which I still reference to this day. I was interested in shooting her on black-and-white film on one of my dad’s old Rolleiflex cameras, to create my own timeless images of her.”
![Carine Roitfeld is letting a new generation take the reins of the magazine she founded. Mostly.
Like the new logo for the biannual CR Fashion Book print magazine Roitfeld founded in 2012 after leaving French Vogue and has been the lead editor and stylist of since — now a much smaller, more refined “CR” that hovers in the top left corner after being a nearly cover-size signature — Roitfeld is reducing her role, and will now oversee editorial after years of leading it.
Vague as that description may be, the fact is Roitfeld doesn’t actually have a new title and there is no one replacing her as editor. But she will be doing far less styling of shoots (she only did one for the upcoming spring/summer issue; before she did all of them) and curation of magazine editorial going forward. Instead, Roitfeld will focus more on other projects, like collaborations and work for a growing roster of clients for her creative studio and brand consultancy CR Studio. There’s Chanel and Karl Lagerfeld and Tom Ford, of course, but also a recent campaign for Jordache, which Roitfeld handled from beginning to end. "I don’t know what I now want to be called,” she said recently, having just arrived in New York for fashion week from Paris. “I don’t have a desk [at the office] either. I had one a while ago but I didn’t like it. I just sit at any table with a free chair. I don’t want a door, ‘Oh, knock before entering.’ That’s not me.” Report: Kali Hays
